Available as an instant digital download.

About the Ford Series 320 Planter

The Ford Series 320 was a pull-type row crop planter produced in the 1960s and 1970s, designed for hitching to the drawbar of Ford utility tractors and pulled through the field on its own gauge wheels. Unlike the 309's 3-point rear mount or the 310's toolbar system, the 320's pull-type configuration gave it more flexibility in row spacing and planter unit count — the frame could be set up for variable row spacings and the attachment list was extensive, covering fertilizer, herbicide-insecticide applicator, disc furrow openers, press wheels, and bed sweeps. The 320 used Ford's seed disc metering system with interchangeable hoppers for corn, cotton, and peanuts, and the seed plate and seeding rate information in the manual covers multiple crops and population targets. The granular herbicide-insecticide applicator was a significant attachment for the era — at-plant chemical application was becoming standard practice on Corn Belt operations in the late 1960s, and the included parts list is valuable for operators still running these applicator systems who need to identify replacement components. The 320 was directly comparable in its application to IH's 56 and 58 series planters and John Deere's 494 series, and was widely used on Ford tractor operations throughout the Corn Belt and Mid-South.

What This Manual Covers

This download includes the 44-page 320 operator's manual and the 10-page granular herbicide-insecticide applicators parts list. Key sections include:

  • Safety Precautions — Ford's original operating safety requirements
  • General Information — planter overview and component identification
  • Operation — attaching to the tractor; row spacing configuration; transporting; planting depth adjustment; down pressure adjustment; adjusting double disc seed openers; seed shaft and seed combinations; seed hoppers; seed plate selection; seeding rates
  • Lubrication — lubrication points and service intervals
  • Storing the Planter — end-of-season storage procedures
  • Troubleshooting — common planting problems and corrections

  • Attachments — fertilizer attachment; fertilizer single or double disc openers; row markers; disc furrow openers; spoon coverers; seed press wheel; gauge shoe attachments; gauge shoe sweeps; short wing sweep; bed sweeps; press wheel scraper; press wheel options; jack stand; supplemental transport wheels; drive wheel sprockets; peanut hopper; tillage attachments; Lev-L-Mixer systems; herbicide-insecticide applicator hopper; metering unit; hopper divider; drop tubes; herbicide and insecticide spreaders
  • Pre-Delivery — factory pre-delivery inspection checklist
  • Granular Herbicide-Insecticide Applicators Parts List (10 pages) — component identification and part numbers for the chemical applicator system

Why This Manual Matters

  • Granular herbicide-insecticide applicators parts list included: The 10-page parts list is included in this download — providing the component identification and part numbers needed to service or repair the applicator system that the base operator's manual doesn't cover in detail; valuable for operators still running at-plant chemical application on aging 320 planters
  • Extensive attachment documentation: The 320's attachment list is one of the most comprehensive in Ford's planter lineup, covering Lev-L-Mixer tillage systems, multiple press wheel configurations, and the full chemical applicator system — this manual documents all of them
  • Seed plate and seeding rate charts: The factory seed plate selection and seeding rate charts for corn, cotton, and peanut crops are the authoritative reference for population planning and seed lot matching on the 320
  • Down pressure adjustment: The 320's down pressure adjustment is documented with the factory-specified settings for different soil conditions — an adjustment that's frequently skipped on older planters but directly affects seed furrow opening and closing in varying soil types
  • Pull-type assembly documentation: The complete frame assembly procedures — frame, jack stand, press wheels, fertilizer hoppers, and markers — are documented for operators reassembling a planter that was stored disassembled or acquired in components
  • Original factory content: This is the manual Ford issued to 320 planter owners, carrying manual code SE 3243 2696

Manual Code: SE 3243 2696

Great entertainment, charges quickly!
Color: Orange
Super fun entertainment for dog! Toy ball charges quickly and the charge lasts for at least an hour of playtime for the dog. There are 2 modes. one mode Just lights up, which makes it easy for pet to chase it. The second mode not only lights up, but it also wiggles on the ground Randomly and speeds off in a direction on its own, which really makes it interesting for your dog or cat to follow! Once the ball is not touched for about thirty seconds, it goes dormant and it will stay like that As long as it's charged until somebody touches it, and then it starts up randomly lighting up and moving around the floor on its own And making a vibration noise. It's a lot of fun to watch the dog chase and play with, and it certainly keeps them entertained for a while! The laughs and fun entertainment are definitely worth it. The only downside is that my dog chewed off the soft fabric covering in about twenty minutes.And she's not a real big chewer. It looks better with the covering on it, but even without it, the ball works fine and she plays with it every day.So that is not a showstopper. But good to supervise your dog for safety.In case they are a chewer, and they decide to destroy the cover. But the ball works fine without the cover too!

Looooves her crazy new ball
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Our 90lb mastiff/boxer mix Indie is very playful, curious and energetic. She needs toys that engage her and keep her busy. This ball does the job! We’ve had it for less than a week. Here’s what I love and what could be better: PROS: • She dog loves it. She whines for it. She gets absurdly excited when I get it out. She’s a bit of an anxious dog, but had zero problems with it inexplicably coming to life. • It lasts a while on a single charge, so it keeps her busy for a good long time. The longest we’ve used it at a stretch is an hour. • It’s pretty durable. She’s a super chewer (destroyed every “non-destructible” toy we’ve purchased for her), but the actual ball is hard plastic. She gnaws on it and it gets scratches, for sure. But she’s not going to chew it to pieces. • On carpet, it’s reasonably quiet. • It comes with a replaceable silicone button. • It’s easy to charge…just pull off the silicone button and the charging port is inside. • The silicone button is flush with the ball’s hard plastic surface, so there’s no way for her to pull the silicone button out and swallow it or get to the charging port. CONS: • Cover is worthless if your dog is a chewer. It goes on like an envelope with a Velcro closure. We took it off immediately. • Without the cover, it’s very noisy on hardwood floors. To us, it’s worth it. (Though, I work from home, so I might feel differently after the holiday vacation.) • She’s an XL dog, so she can fit the whole ball in her mouth easily and accidentally chomp down on the button and turn the ball off. Not a big deal, just something to know if you’ve got a Lab or larger dog. • With extended playtime, the two halves can come unscrewed, especially with a large dog who uses their paws/jaws on it a lot. Thankfully, it makes a loud buzzing noise when this happens, so we know we need to take it from her and screw it back together. Is this a potential danger? With the rechargeable battery inside, I’d say yes. But we also don’t let her play with this toy without supervision. So keep that in mind. Bottom line: It has its drawbacks, but it keeps her entertained and seems like it should last her at least 6 months with supervised play. Which is honestly REALLY good when we’re talking about Indie, Destroyer of Toys. I’d buy it again.

Difficult/impossible to unscrew plastic cups (in order to recharge the vibrating/blinking device)
Color: Orange
Generally, I don't leave feedback on items purchased. However, in this case, I feel compelled to do so in hopes the mechanical engineers (of this product) will take my input to heart and ultimately modify it. First the pros... - I have 2 high-energy dogs (Jack Russell Terriers) who love their toys (e.g., chewing bones, tug-of-war, etc.) but usually get bored with them rather quickly. - This interactive PetDroid ball, however, keeps them busy for a long time. - In fact, my smaller dog (Max) knows its storage location and sits (as early as 6 AM) in front of the cabinet so that I give him "his ball". It keeps him busy for up to 1-2 hours at a time. - Max is literally addicted to the PetDroid ball... his determinant play with it makes me laugh all the time. Now, the cons... - After several days of play, the exterior looks chewed up quite a bit. That's no problem though. - Unfortunately, the interior "threads/grooves" of the two plastic cups (for closing/fasting) are very tiny. - Thus, after an hour-long hard play, it is almost impossible to unscrew the 2 plastic cups in order to recharge the interior device. - It appears the 2 cups somehow come off track and get realigned from the inside. - At that point, I cannot unscrew the PetDroid ball in order to recharge the device.... and without the blinking/vibration, this toy is no longer fun for play. - Ultimately, I had to place the bottom half of the ball into a vise and then use a plumbing wrench to untwist it. Proposed Solution: - Increase the size of the plastic cups' interior threads/grooves so that they won't get realigned/come off track. - This would mitigate the current dilemma of NOT being able to unscrew the ball in order to recharge it. In my view, this should be a relatively simple fix and significantly improve the durability of this product. Thank you for your time.

Good fun and entertaining!
Color: Orange
A really fun interactive toy for your dog! It's pretty erratic and really gets him chasing it. The included soft cover was kinda hard to install and then it's hard to turn it off and on with the cover on, I feel like the cover didn't really improve it at all, sure it's louder without the cover but I feel like dog also likes it that way, he likes loud squeaky toys and this thing making a bunch of noise is appealing to him. We have mostly hardwood floors so it really gets moving, I'm sure on carpet it would be a bit quieter and maybe even a bit slower to move around but on hard smooth surfaces this things can really get zipping around abd get some speed to make him chase it. Overall a fun and entertaining toy.
