This is either a 450(check or drill) planter, or a 449(drill). The manual is the same for both the difference is the trip(check) arm on the gearbox-with the 234 arm near the center of the shaft that drives the four box drive chains. I will look up the manual I have and would be glad to e-mail you any info I can.

Ron: As I see it the chances of you ever nailing down the exact planter model are quite remote. It is 1950s vintage and at that time IH were turning out so many configurations of that basic planter, each with it's own model number, it's going to be a guess at best. Bear in mind even if you get the wrong manual that seed drive reduction will likely be the same on all models.

Having said that, the key to success in what your trying to achive lies in that chain drive with unused sprokets. One of those sprokets is designed to slide on shaft allowing you to align all combinations. To slow those seed plates down, giving longer seed spacing you need to go smaller on driver and large on driven sprokets.

I said one of those sprokets is designed to slide on shaft making it possible to align any combination of two sprokets. Given the age of that planter, very likely that sliding sproket is frozen to shaft with rust and crud. It will have detent balls designed to hold it in any given position. My recomendation is start right now with a penetrating oil every 3-4 days. after about 2 weeks start tapping it ever so gently. By planting time you may have it free. That failing you could take that complete shaft off the planter and use some heat and pulling devices. Be CAREFUL those sprokets will be very brittle.

Hugh, many thanks for taking the time to look at this for me. I will take your recommendations and start working with the sprocket set-up and hopefully get them all broke free and adjusted. I might report back this spring to let you know how it all worked out..I know this is practically a relic but I was hoping to get some more life out of it before retiring it completely.
Thanks,

Ron
