    Posted: 19 May 2025 at 3:49pm
I have a one row plot AC 74 planter unit with a big seed can. Will the smaller cans on the old ac planters fit? If so where can I find one?

Looks like I have an early 500 series planter. Will the seed hoppers from the old drill planters fit this unit?
Thanks

Seed can ?  ALL  74 hoppers were fiberglass. 
74,72, 50 series will interchange. 
The earlier 50 series had 'cans'.
The old units with levers for depth adjustment will not work.
To determine see if a late  Deere or IH seed plate will work - if so it should interchange.

tbran -not sure what I have or correct terminology. Looks like a 74 in pictures. It has a metal hopper 19 inches tall with AC logo and below that it has "unit planter". The press wheel is rubber w concave shape not others I see with a ridge in center of rubber press wheel. What I have works but just looking for a smaller seed hopper. Hoping the older smaller hoppers would fit.
Thanks for your help with this.

I can use the IH or JD plates.

The only seed hoppers that were metal were the 50 series - and they would interchange -BUT that is the smallest seed hopper I can ever remember.  Had a metal lid with a handle on it. Cream colored. Cylindrical .  Not wider at the top than the bottom - that was the OLD unit like in snap coupler units.
