I posted 5 pictures of my planter titled IH 4 Row Planter in the implement photo section. It was around 4:30 pm and overcast so my full view shot may not be very good...the other took ok. I hope these are enough to help ientify it...if not, let me know and I will take more pictures. All further comments on what model and how to make adjustments are welcomed.

Thanks,

Ron

Your Planter is a "450" built in the 60's .

Sorry about not knowing where to get a Manual. I probably have thrown away dozens of the manuals that came with that planter. I worked for IHC in the 1960's at their Hickory Hills Farm for the Advertising Dept. and we would get numerous models of these planters in to take Photo's to be used in IHC Planter Advertising and Manual uses etc. and after we were thru with them they were sold to Dealers. Seems like half the time the Planter left the premises with out the Owners manual attached. The Dealers found it quicker to order new Manuals from Parts than try to track down the missing Manual. I farmed at the same time I worked for IHC and my Planter of choice was an IHC "440". Basically two Horse Planters hooked together. It would do a good job dropping Seed when you hit a hard spot for sure.

Thanks John,
That was one of the two Hugh thought it might be...so I'm glad you narrowed it down. Any idea if and where a manual might be for that model?

Ron: The planter is too old for me to call it without a bit help. I went to the book 150 years of IH. It's definitely 1940s or 1950s vintage, 1950s most likely. I'm coming up with two model numbers 242 and 450. A photo across the back similar to your front end shot could be helpful.

I think the chain drive you've shown us in no. 3 is the key to your rate of planting. That triple sprocket will be designed to slide on shaft, careful, I bet it's stuck. If you get that chain from the smallest driver to the largest driven sproket, my guess is you'll be going back to your 24 cell plates. Is it possible to get a shot all in one showing power train from drive wheel through various shafts to seed unit. I want to be sure I'm not missing something.
