I recently aquired an Ih planter. Its a four row with fert. and the small cylinder type seed boxes. Also it has trip lift instead of hyd lift. from what is left of the sticker it is a #40. Did IH make this model or is it a #449A planter.

IH built a model #40 planter that was a 4 row narrow planter, and at the same time they also built a model #44 which was the wide row version of the same planter. The #449A that you mentioned I believe was only offered with a hydraulic lift and not a trip lift.

These models were built in the 1950's.

JRM: One of the problems with planters is there are hundreds of model numbers. These being made up on the same frame and tool bars and using various seeding, fertilizing and chemical applicators. Then you have shoe type openers, double disk openers, optional press wheels, optional seed metering, check row planting, etc. IH seemed to give all these combinations a model number. This probably reached its peak from WW#2 until 1965. IH would yearly issue a buyers guide with about 5 to 6 planters listed. Farmers would order planters equiped as they wanted for their specific use. Often the planter delivered had one diget in a 3 number model altered to reflect an option on planter.

I have two books here on IH planters of the era you speak of and neither a #40 or #449A are listed, but i am sure they do exist. Unless you have the ordering criteria for year planter was manufactured very difficult to pin an exact model down. Many many times at an IH parts counter, you would see partsman with book getting farmer to identify his particular seeding unit, fert unit, press wheel, etc.
