Help Identifying older 2 row JD planter

[notepcars]

Hello,
Bought this planter at an auction and need to know what model it is so I can order the right manual. Unsure if its a 246, or 290 model. I can get closer up pics if need be. Thanks

Wheels are ahead of the marker bar, so thinking 290. You can post clearer pics or just go to partsadvisor.deere.com and look at parts for both models..

Welcome to TBN
JDparts.com still operates for the moment to open PDF parts catalog also which I like better for trying to determine equipment model numbers.

I am not an expert by any means on these older planters, but in parts catalog, the 246 all show mounted planters and not pull type. 290 pics look like yours.

Ok I will go with 290, thanks for the help.
