I was wondering if any one knew of these small diameter hoppers for the John Deere 494-A planter. I have the wide seed hoppers and I need small ones for 30-28 inch rows. Also I was looking for the 32,30,and 28 inch row markers. My planter I think is a 40-30 only. I noticed the drive gears on the wheels are on the outside of the bearing on the shaft. I don't know if I have the 40-30 inch or 40-28 inch planter. Where can I find these size of hoppers and markers? Also will my work with 30" rows? Any help would be nice.

Plow Man,
I once had a JD 494-A planter that I used for kidney beans. I needed to have 30" rows for my neighbors pullers so I removed the tin on the seed units and replaced it with galvanized stove pipe. I can't remember right now if it was 10" or 12" pipe but it slid right on the unit base. Then I just peened it over to hold it on just like the original tin. I used stove pipe caps for covers. It worked really well and didn't cost alot. I also could save the original tin for when I wanted to sell the planter.
Speaking of these planters, does somebody know of anyone who makes fiberglas fertilizer hoppers for them. Or, does anyone think there would be an interest in fiberglas fertilizer hoppers for these or other planters. I know a retired fiberglas technician and thought that if there was a market, it might be something to consider.

On the JD, if the base cast iron is still good you can cut the bottom out of a five gallon bucket and it will slip over perfect, I think...
