Allis two row planter model?

Can anyone tell me a lil more on this planter? Some of these have tapered seed cans.....smaller on bottom than top. Am i to assume this is pin hitch....prob for a ca or wd? How many different seed plates could these have come with? Mainly just corn and beans?
Thanks!

This guy has a pile of seed plates...could they all be for this planter? Is that possible?

Says there is 15 to 20 plates but doesnt know much about it and is unsure if they are all for it.

You need different size plate for different size seed or different crops depending on what he wants for them they might be a good deal on epay there 10-20$ a set I've seen both used on back for fertilizer but tapered cone seems to be more common

Thanks!....This is a mounted non snap coupler version.  As pictured, designed to fit Allis Chalmers only.  Early 1950 version...Dale

Also could a person put that planter on a CA?

Good thought on the manual.

Well i told the guy id take it. I may have paid to much for it. 500.00. I would love to completely restore it this winter. He said zero rust in the cans...any dark spots on it are from it being oiled up and then a lil dirt on top. I will post a progressive post w pics when i start on it this winter. Should be fun:)

That is the planter I sold.  Worked fine.  See if you can get a manual.  They will have a better explanation of the plates and various settings. 
AC used that planter for years till it came out with the All Crop Planter then moved to the no till. 
As stated above the four row planter was two of the same planter with a tool bar for mounting.
Can't believe how good a shape it is.  Usually the fertilizer tins and even sometimes the seed cans are rusted through along with other rust on the entire unit.  I am really surprised at the excellent shape of the planter.
I do not know the price but for that good shape, to me, $ 500 does not seem like too much.
Good Luck!

Get those extra seed cans and fert cans if nothing else you can use for parts or sell later markers too

Here are examples of common sizes of John Deere plastic plates for corn.  Seed corn bags will usually suggest which plates to use for IH and Deere planters.  Don't usually have Allis plate numbers.  Can use the Deere plates in AC planters with adapter.  Also notice that each plate is different color for quick ID.

Not mine.  Just found on internet.  My dad has more than this though.
Here is the adapter to use JD plates on AC planter.   Is useful because you can find JD plates anywhere and the corn is marked for the JD plates as well.

That looks like the wd drawbar hitch, not pin hitch.  You take the drawbar bail off, and insert the DB, under that front bolt, then put a regular DB pin in at the back hole.  As for the plates, it has been covered pretty well. each seed population, and each size of seed means a different plate.  Multiply that by years of farming, using seed of different manufacturers, can yield quite a large collection of plates...
