We also have a IH 900. Don't buy coulters, purchase residue managers/trash wheels/trash wippers instead. The floating and fixed types are available, with the fixed being the older type. Expect to spend around $125/row for used ones unless you can find them at an auction. Most around here use Yetter, but Dawn, Martin, Sunco and others are as good and might be better. We are seriously considering removing the OEM closing disks and substituting spiked ones. This would help close the seed trench. Currently we have the closing wheel spring on maximum down pressure which works OK but there seems to be room for improvement. Set the planter units down until they are in the middle or a little deeper of the available "stroke". This gets the springs into the action and will give more available down pressure. Make sure the seed boots are not worn along the bottom edge and will produce a good "V" slot. Use a leading seed opening disk with the bevel to the inside rather than the outside to improve ability to cut thu trash. Don't change the secondary opening disk. We installed Schaffert rebounders which seem to provide some seed spacing benefit.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
