John Deere 1240 planter help needed!

So I bought this planter on the assumption that it was the plateless version. After buying a plateless manual i realized it is not a plateless planter. Does anyone know the gear sprocket combination that go with what size plate? I figure the 24 cell plate would turn slower so I could just go for the slower of the two sprocket set ups but any help would be appreciated
 
If I remember right, some models of the 1240 were plateless and some were not.
The plateless meters were a real pain compared to the 7000.

You will never really know all the sprocket settings for various populations without an operator's manual for that planter.

A late 494A planter book should give you the settings you need. The 1240 and late 494A were same planters but when they came out with the plateless they needed a new number.
