Planter Drive Sprocket Part #

[brianJ]

OK now I am not sure which planter I have. What are some of the differences between the two? I will post pics of it on this thread soon.

Trent, you will need that, as it is a part of the lift assist mechanism. Pete

Brian, look at the picture of Trent's planter frame above, that is the 172 planter runner. If yours is different, then it could possibly be the 174. Pics will help, Pete

Brian- Here is a recent topic where I had the same question. Maybe it will help you.

Brian- Here is a better pic of the drive gear.

Also, the curved piece on the lower left in my overall picture appears to be #7 on the page I posted from the manual. I had mistakingly took it to be for covering fertilizer, but I believe it to be that (partially hidden) part #7.

How about I post another one! I did a little more reseach and found in the CBI-1A Revision 3 Parts Catalog_Planters_Cub-172 and 174 Planters:

Page 3 is the Tool Bar and Extension 1947-1949:




And Page 4 is the Tool Bar and Extension 1950 and Since:



It looks like I have the 1947-1949, as it came with a 1949 Cub. There is no pressure spring rod on the earlier one. So I have the early one and there is no pressure spring rod (like on the later one). Also verified becaue my tool bar extension is connected with the Cap (#10 on page 3) instead of the Clamp (#19 from page 4). Makes me feel better knowing that my planter is complete instead of missing something.

I'm getting more comfortable everyday finding what I need on the manual server. A few more decades working at it and I'll be as good as Jim Becker! (OK, probably not.) Hope this helps you Brian. If not, post more questions and I might even be able to help!!

Here is a pic of the Cap (#10 on page 3):

I will check tonite it see if mine uses the cap or the clamp. I am still trying to get my head around if I have the 172 or 174. I have the hopper with the domed lid with the old IHC logo stamped on top. I didn't have the pressure rod assembly nor do I see any evidence like wear that would indicate there was ever one on it. I want to take a closer look at the runner frame to see which one I have. I wanted to take pictures last but didn't get to it. Hopefully tonite. My local Case/ IH guy said regardless of which sprocket I need they are both still available which is good news. Most of that pressure rod assembly stuff is discontinued but it doesn't look like it would be difficult to
make. I really appreciate the all the help, fellas. It also feels great to belong to the Runner Planter Owners Club.

Did not know there was a planters club.I guess I belong!!!Kevin I might jump in sometime on this stuff.Your seed tin is a Richmond type.

Brian, I have sent you 9 emails showing what a 172 looks like and how it all hooks up. Hope those will get you going, but if you need anything futher, don't hesitate to let me know. Pete

Runner Planter Owner's Club ... I like it!!

Thanks so much guys. I am going to take pics of my Planter this weekend and I will revive this post on Tuesday when I post them. There is pile of good info here for me as well as present and future RPOC members to reference. I am off work on Friday and Monday as well for the holiday so won't have access to a computer..well a working one anyways. Mine crapped out at home and I am thinking of using it as a boat anchor. Have a great weekend all and keep an eye open for my pics on Tuesday.
Thank
Brian

Hi All
I hope everyone had a great long weekend. I had the opportunity to play with my newly aquired planter. I believe what I have is the 172 (please correct me if I am wrong) runner planter with the single seed (not the combination) hopper. So having said that I will need the 10 tooth sprocket???
I'm not sure which sprocket I need yet. I someone can help I would appreciate it. I see no evidence of this planter ever having the pressure rod assembly. Is this possible that it was made in a year before they added the pressure rod assembly?

[Trent M]

Brian- Looks like you have the 1947-1949 version, as evidence by your last picture, you can see you have the cap as opposed to the clamp on the toolbar extension. Above, I included pics from the manual showing the differences and a picture of what mine looks like, which is just like yours! So it looks like our planters are complete, but I don't know how not having the pressure rod will affect performance. People used to plant with these, so I figure we can too!!

Long live the RPOC!!!
