Need help identifying this planter

Good morning YT. So I have been working on my old planter what I though to be a mccormick/IH 251. After looking a little harder I see some sutle differences between mine and what is depicted in my manual. One being the depth adjusters. On mine there is a nut (maybe was swapped out) instead of a turn wheel, the row markers are different also. My marker mounts come off where the fast hitch arms bolt onto the planter instead of connecting onto the frame of the planter. All the parts are stamped IH and this planter does have some parts made in Canada. So some thoughts i have had are maybe this is a newer 251 or may ones from Canada are different? Thoughts please. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Planter looks like a 284. Here's a photo of my 184. The fiberglass hopper is the same style as the 186 and fits the 184 but mine also came with the same tin hopper as what is on your planter. It looks like
you have the base for the fertilizer hopper? If not using for show and just what to use it to plant you could cut the bottom out of a 5 gallon bucket and attach to base. I think you can still get the
hoppers new but they ain't cheap cause I think they are made out of rolled stainless steel.

I do have the bases for my fertilizer hopper. I actually have the hoppers complete hoppers they are just shot like most others you see. I do need a few parts like cast shutter the controls the flow for the amount of fertilizer that is dropped. Mine broke while I was trying to get it free. I will try to upload another pic or two of my planter. Thank you for the response.
