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?

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.
