Anyone know what model planter I have, it is a finger type planter with rectangular metal seed boxes. I don't see any that look like it. Someone panted it red but I am sure it is John Deere one cover has b30938 cast in to it.

A picture would help but if a 4 row most likely a 1240. There also was a 1440 that was a notill planter. Not many made before it was replaced with the 7000. Tom

I think it is a 1240 cut down to a 2 row, and made to fit a 3 point hitch also they added gandy fertilizer or chemical boxes in the back. I have pictures of it but don't have a way to post them. They painted the whole thing red, put a lot of work in to it. I need to find the finger wheels for it the plastic broke and some thing is locking up the closing wheel in the planter.

Are you sure it's not a 'unit planter'? A unit planter is one where the units are seperate,each with it's own drive off the press wheel. You bolt to a tool bar in any number,row width or combination you desire. A Unit would be an '80 plateless. Those used to be common here. Now they dont even bring scrap price.The last I saw sell were a 'pile' of six. They brought 25 dollars for the lot. Two row on a three point tool bar tells me 'unit planter'. As said,a picture would help.

It was a 1240, had to order new holders for the fingers. Took a bit to find someone at John Deere who would help find the parts. First person said nothing was available, well it turns out they were but not as an assembly.
