International Harvester McCormick-Deering Type POA POAX Corn & Bean Conversion Bottom

When International Harvester acquired Parlin & Orendorff Plow Company, most of their implements where brought into the IH line relatively unchanged. These parts carry the prefix PO in front of all part numbers. These seed hoppers were brought from Horse & Mule drawn equipment up to tractors and were used with few modifications into the 1950's. The P&O Type A & D Hopper are the basic same hopper with the same seed plates. The POAX generally included a cotton only bottom and were common in the Southeast United States. The P&O Type C hopper was the hopper later known as a Type C Duplex, and the Type G was a Single Plate hopper using an individual Type C plate. Early POA and POAX hoppers were straight sided, and later model offered an offset eXtended capacity and were offered in the late 1940's through the end of production. The metal snap on lids are now somewhat uncommon, but were included with the planters when originally sold.
