They were a "Lew" deal for the going rate they are right now.
Same thing here. Every enterprising weld shop bought up all the old 4 and 6 row planters and cut them up primarily to sell to deer hunters, although they did make some nice one row units that gardeners bought to go behind small tractors. I've even seen a 4 row machine cut down to a 2 row trailer type with the fertilizer boxes still on it. Those self contained units like you have that will fit on tool bars get pricey real quick--especially if they have green paint.
