Finger Update on JD 1240 planter

I am performing maintenance on a planter that I picked up at a sale last fall. I noticed that Deere once furnished an update kit for the finger mechanism but no longer carries it. What was included in this kit? Fingers and springs? Or the finger holder as well? And how would I know if my fingers have been updated just by looking at them? I also need the right row marker but I assume I can have this fabricated. Since some of the parts to the mechanical marker lift appear to be missing I thought I would just revert to a rope lift setup. Has anyone else tried this? Thanks for the input.

Sorry for the repost, I meant to post this in implement alley and ended up posting this in the Deere forum again...
 
I don't know anything about the planter units but the frame is same as the 494A with a lot of the parts being same as the 494 and markers are some of them and should not be too hard to find.
