Need Help on IH Planter Identification

Can someone help me identify it. I want to buy a manual for it next weekend at Red Power and need to know what to look for to narrow down the search. There is a number on the flowchart inside the hopper lid. MC-D. 3268A. 2 1/2M-11-9-1934. Is this the model? What is the 2 1/2M mean?

Also, any information on proper colors of items. I would appreciate any pictures of origional or restored planters that are similar.

Thanks,
Brian

After pressure washing it today, I found most of the original red paint on the hardware and frame. The boxes are rusty, but the entire frame is red. Wheels are somewhat cream in color. Seem a little more yellow that IH white though.

I don’t think that it is all that rare either. I just want to buy a manual so I know how to set it up and use it properly. I plan on using it regularly in small acre patches. It worked quite well on a 10 acre patch I did this spring. Oats and pasture mix. Coming up pretty good and uniform despite the drought we are in now here in central Illinois.

Thanks,

My dad always said a good drilling team was a team that knew as much about drilling as the operator. He had a team that knew the right distance to walk from last pass, right pace , etc. They made the job very easy. After he cut the tongue and started using Super A with my brother or I driving, he used to kid us that horses were better on judgeing the above. In beginning he was probably right, I was only 10 first time I pulled drill with Super A
