John Deere 2 row corn planter, know the model?

Hey all, I just picked up a 2 row John Deere corn planter and the guy I bought it from wasnt sure what model it was. Anyone have any idea? Also the guy said the row marker just drops straight down. It doesnt fold out. Im not sure how thats supposed to be setup. Or if anyone knows where I can buy standard row markers for this setup. The last thing is the disk openers are on the front by the three point hitch instead of on the rear with the planter. can that yellow bracket be switched around that then the disk openers switched so the point of the openers faces forward?

Yeah I figured as much. I just didnt know if anyone knew what the model of the actual planters with the runners and rubber tires are. Im trying to figure out how all the adjustments work and to buy different seed plates
 
JohnDeere #71 unit planter.Made fron 1966 to present. Good,versatile units that will plant about anything.Uses the 'standard' JD 'B' series plate.You can order new plates from Lincoln Ag Products,Evergreen,Colorado.There are thousands out there,however mostly in vegatable and/or furrow irrigated country. I have a 4 row(4 units on a diamond tool bar),used it for over 30 years.
 
Order an owners manual. It will have all the settings,gearing...Everything you need to get the best possible stand. A planter is probably the most critical piece of equipment on your farm.
 
Like delta said, those are 71 units. They are good units. The fertilizer attachments is from a 494/495/1240 planter. It may or may not work. At the end of the day its probably a functional unit, nice paint, with a variety of Deere decals on it. Most people dont use fertilizer/starter. Since it is a two row you can set your row width and tractor tire width the same and plant wheel track to wheel track without the use of row markers.
