help identfing seeder

[mike p]

its an ih but i dont know the model or year . i think itsa 1955-1957 as the grain plate s have both dates
would like to get a manuel for it to learn how to adjust & use it but dont know the model type
it had 2 different size tires does any one know what size 15" tires it takes
i think tire height would be inportant for the depth adjer to be right

I have a box seeder that looks similar to that one in behind my storage building. Unfortunately I do not have any box seeder manuals.

Looks like a model MF. If there is no fertilizer hopper, it is model M.

thanks im trying to decide the corect one to order

[mike p]

so does any one know the paint color for the wheels on this seeder

[Jim Becker]

Either cream or white depending on when it was built.

[mike p]

appears to be built around 1957

[Jim Becker]

appears to be built around 1957

Then they would have been white. Cream was discontinued at about the end of '56.
