Combination Planter Bottom Identification?

[RTR]

Does anyone know which planter bottom this is, I can’t find it in my big planter parts manual. Also, the breakdowns I’ve found that are similar don’t show exactly how the (2) black pieces go. They hold the seed plate on but not sure how it goes in the bottom.

Looks like any standard hopper bottom to me.
That flat stamped thing is a check valve. The little wings hang on those tabs on either side of that square opening with the little point in it , in the hopper bottom casting, directly above where the check valve is pictured. The concave side faces the plate, and the thing clips in there in such a way that it doesn’t fall out when you tilt the hopper to change the plate.
The opening on the far side is supposed to have two fingers side by side called cutoff pawls. They keep extra seeds from going through after the cells of the seed plate are filled.
Depending on the seed you are sowing, there could be a brush in n the place of the cutoff pawls. This is for sowing seeds so tiny that they would cause the cutoff pawls to jam.
I don’t know what that block is for. If you could find a master parts list, that would tell the story.

Anyone have some pictures?

Is there still a readable number on the underside?

Looks like a corn bottom for a combination hopper. The black part to the left is a retainer for a filler plate.

X 2 what Jim said. This is a picture of my IH 184 owners manual. The model 251 planters utilized the same hoppers also. I can get a better picture of the actual filler ring / plate retainer clip from the planter itself if it would help.

This hopper bottom carries a part number of 621726 R5. The plate clip is part number 622124 R3.

Note the wavy sheet metal part with the tee on the end is located at the 1 o'clock position after the knock out roller pawl. It is separate from the other plate clip part.

Thank you. Yes that piece just flops around and fits loose. I was advised by a friend, to bend the "t" tabs down and it should fit tighter.

Not supposed to fit tight… supposed to be able to hinge up out of the way if too many seeds get past the pawls.
