This year we got a 12 row 1750 so I'm not dealing with a retrofit. That's the direction we were going to go, but the 7000's are so used up here.
Here's what I saw that made the 1750 work well. It has the Yetter (they may be real JD units) finger style trash sweeps on it but I rarely saw them working hard. This was in wheat stubble. Only in heavy straw or a weedy patch did they move debris. If they happened to dig in a little they trenched. There was a wet field that I had to disk and they moved some clods. Most of the time they were above the trash.
Put good down pressure springs on your openers. That's where the 1750 excels because of the airbags. I can't help but think you could get the same thing with a good strong spring. Get the opener pressure down close to the ground on the mechanism and you will have better response than a heavy box wiggling around and trashing the mountings. Especially on a field that is rough. I agree with the opinion that was given about replacing your openers with JD replacements. It is worth that money.

It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
