Shane, I have a 494AN which has been converted from 4 row, to 6 row 30'. The serial number tag is on the right end of the planter frame, next to the marker mount. Mine has been shedded when not in use since 1978, and I would love to have it gone from my shed, as it hasn't been used since 1993. If you're really interested in restoring a planter like this, all it would need is new paint and decals. You could grease it, and go to the field with it the way it is.

Only the later 494A planters had tags and without going out in the snow and weeds and looking at mine I cannot remember exactally where it is. This would be the planters with the big fertilizer boxes as the earlier had the smaller 350# each boxes like the plain 494 had and the eariler 494A did not have tags as neither did the 494 version. I have 3 of the 494 versions including the 1957 version that was different than all the later ones and not all the parts are listed in the parts catalog up to a 1959 model 494A, a pair of 490 and 4 290 planters setting here and also a very rare 450 planter that was the first 4 row planter Deere ever built in the 1930's. You can prety close date any deere planter using the parts books that are now avabile on line from Deere.

When I got my book there was no computors back in 1981.
