Which planter / side dresser is this.

[John(videodoc)]

Here is pics of that planter i got in that trade.
Question 1. Which planter is it?
Question 2. Are all the parts in the pictures?

Thanks John

Its headed to blasting and paint this week if it stays warm.

Looks like a 172 runner planter. Not sure on the hopper, but i think it's a richmond corn hopper. Looks like you have the row marker attachment too

172 planter this a shot of mine if it helps . Mine has a poax cotton hopper on it. I have recently added a 100 fertilizer hopper but haven't taken any pictures yet.

Cub Hut, yours looks like a 174 or 174A. John, yours probably is too, but it would have been a lot easier to tell if you had taken about 3 steps to the left before snapping the picture.

Thanks Jim I thought is was a 172. What was the difference ?

[Jim Becker]

As far as I know, the difference was the change from rigid ground unit to hinged type. There was a conversion package to change rigid to hinged. Go to this page then look at pages 3, 4 and 5.

The farmer I got mine off of said he had changed something on the planter years ago but couldn't remember what. He did say it was a kit from I H .
So my question is if it was a 172 too start with and you change it with the factory kit, it would still be a 172--converted.?
Which ever I'm going too keep it. Thanks for pointing the difference out. DAVE

[John(videodoc)]

that's it. looks like we are going to half to hunt the place for the rest of the parts. or i might end up parting this one out for some others on the board.

Interesting question, one of those "if a tree falls in the woods. . ." things. I guess you can call it either one you want.

Any chance the former owner told you what year he bought it?

[(CUB HUT)]

Jim
He said he got it the same time as his tractor in 1948

[Jim Becker]

That year agrees with it being a 172 that was converted. The 174 style didn't come out until like 1950.

Thanks Jim

videodoc: I have what I believe to be an incomplete 172 planter. I might be able to supply parts if you can provide # of missing items. Dan

i have printed the manual from RUDI's manual (Cheers Rudi ) They are currenlty looking about to see if they can find em all. Doesnt look good though. Time will tell. I will let you know what i need, as i heard on this site though, you get better restored items from parting out almost complete units, and thats what its about. john
