That tank on that planter is NOT for fertilizer and it is NOT stainless steel, it is aluminm and is for banding a preemerge weed killer in about a 10-14" band over the row, I did not see any fertilizer boxes but the dry fertilizer for the later 494A planters hold 450# each and the seed boxes hold over a bushel of seed each and you put those seed box extensions on and you are overloading the planter. Now the earlier ones had the same boxes as the 494 with fertilizer being 350# and those extensions making the seed boxes the same size as the later ones without. The earlire 494A and 494 had a gearbox in for the speed settings while the late ones had all open sprockets to change speed. The newer ones had a axle that was adjustable to be able to be set for either narrow or wide rows, the older ones you had to buy the correct axle for the row width you wanted. I hava a 1957, 1960 and a 1961 494 and a 1969 494A setting here along with 4 of the 290 and 2 of the 490 planters and a 450 planter that is the first model 4 row planter that JD built starting sometime in the early 30's and solt thru 1942 when the 490 came out.
