International 56 Planter (Four-Row) Operator's Manual

This is the Operator's Manual for the International Harvester 56 four-row planter, covering setup, seed plate selection, planting depth adjustment, fertilizer unit operation, marker adjustment, optional equipment, lubrication, and specifications across 60 pages. This is the original factory document IH issued to 56 planter owners and is available as an instant digital download.

About the International Harvester 56 Planter

The International Harvester 56 was a toolbar-mounted unit planter produced through the 1960s and into the 1970s, designed for 4-row corn and grain sorghum planting in the standard row spacings of that era. It used a rotary valve metering system — a distinct IH design in which a rotating valve controlled seed flow from the hopper into the seed tube, timed to coordinate with hill spacing in hill-drop planting mode. The 56 also supported drill planting mode for crops like soybeans where continuous rather than spaced seed drop was required. Seed plate selection was critical on IH planters of this era: the 56 used interchangeable plates and filler rings that had to be matched to seed size and shape for each crop — the seed plate and distribution tables in this manual are the primary reference for getting those settings correct. The 56 was widely used across the Corn Belt and Great Plains on Farmall and IH utility tractors, and the fertilizer unit attachment was commonly fitted to apply starter fertilizer in-furrow or to the side at planting. Many 56 planters remain in service on small acreage operations today, and the manual is particularly valuable for restorers and operators who acquired the planter without documentation.

What This Manual Covers

This 60-page manual covers the IH 56 from basic adjustments through full attachment setup, with separate coverage for both hill-drop and drill planting configurations. Key sections include:

  • Adjusting & Operating — beet, corn, grain sorghum, soybean, and drilling applications; seed plates and distribution tables; hill-drop planter equipment and settings; planting depth, row widths, and spacing; fertilizer unit operation and settings; marker operation and adjustment; transporting and leveling the planter
  • Lubrication — lubrication points and service intervals
  • Setting Up — initial setup and configuration procedures
  • Special Equipment — double disk openers and fertilizer openers; depth bands, gauge shoes, and press wheels; rubber press wheel tires and scrapers; seed firming wheels and safety equipment; rotary hoe strip tillage attachment; spring tooth tillage attachment
  • Specifications — factory-specification settings and reference data

Why This Manual Matters

  • Seed plate and distribution table reference: Selecting the correct seed plate and filler ring combination for each crop and seed size is the foundational setup task on the IH 56 — the factory distribution tables in this manual are the authoritative reference for matching plate to seed and dialing in target populations
  • Rotary valve metering system documentation: The IH rotary valve metering mechanism operates differently from John Deere cell-type or Ford seed disc systems, and the setup and timing procedures specific to IH's design are documented here — information that generic planter resources won't cover
  • Hill-drop and drill planting configurations: Both planting modes require different equipment setups, and the manual documents each separately — including the specific plate, hopper, and timing changes required when switching between hill-drop corn planting and drill soybean planting
  • Fertilizer unit setup and calibration: Starter fertilizer placement at planting was common practice on Corn Belt operations running IH 56 planters, and the fertilizer unit operation and adjustment procedures are fully documented here
  • Tillage attachment documentation: The rotary hoe strip tillage and spring tooth tillage attachments are covered — options for operators running the 56 in minimum-tillage or strip-till configurations that weren't the norm when this manual was written but became common as these planters aged
  • Original factory content: This is the manual IH issued to 56 planter owners, carrying manual code 1 083 157 R2 (Rev. 3)

Sexy football and sunshine
Format: Kindle
I adore Lauren Rowe, her writing style, and her words written from her heart. When I check other readers reviews, I have trouble seeing we read the same book. There are some very critical reviews that are novella size, and miss the point of a fun, spicy, sports romance. This story captured me from the beginning chapter. I love football, and this book hit all my boxes. The characters are well developed from the main characters to all the secondary characters. Iris is much stronger than she thinks, and a beautiful ray of sunshine and positivity. She grows under Roman's love and support. In turn she gives all her love and support to him. I loved the spice, the banter, the new friendships for both. Lauren does amazing research for all her books. For me, this book took me away from the reality of this country, and I so appreciated that. Roman is a giver and Iris loves him for who he is without his superstar persona. Refreshing read and one I will reread again. As for Iris's ex, he receives the karma he deserves. Roman's son is the cutest, and reminded me of one of my grandsons. The meet cute definitely was one of the best I have read. Enjoy this fun, sexy, spicy filled romance. Each book that Lauren writes, I feel she cannot top, yet for me, she always does. Thank you Lauren.

Sports Romance at its best!
Format: Kindle
You guys! The way I cheered Iris on throughout this book! When Roman and Iris met will forever be something I laugh about. Absolutely I recommend this book to you! There is plenty of spice too. Not too much, but just enough. We see betrayal, heartbreak, anger, love, pride, self preservation and so much more in this book. Lauren Rowe has very quickly become a top favorite romance author for me. IYKYK! The way she sucks you in and makes you feel like you’re right there within the story, it’s phenomenal. 🏈 Sports Romance 👨🏻 Single Dad 🤝 Age Gap 🏘️ Paradise to Small Town 🛏️ One Bed 💸 Billionaire Romance The audiobook was done right! Narrators Samantha Brentmoor and Aiden Snow were fantastic! I’m not sure a better pairing could have been picked for this book.

Chasing the Ring
Format: Paperback
Chasing the Ring by Lauren Rowe delivers a fun, trope‑heavy sports romance with a jilted bride and NFL quarterback in paradise. While the chemistry between Iris and Roman is charming and the humor lightens the story, the plot feels predictable and the emotional beats don’t land as strongly as expected. A decent, easy read, but nothing that stands out in the crowded contemporary romance field.

A great start to a new series!
Format: Kindle
“What happens in Kauai stays in Kauai” Iris’ wedding didn’t go as planned when she found out about her fiancé’s lying and cheating ways. She goes to their honeymoon alone where she discovers a handsome stranger in her bungalow, turns out the place was double booked. There was instant attraction between Iris and Roman and after one amazing night together they decided to spend the week with a no strings fling. As the days go by, it’s starting to feel more and less like a fling. But they’ve both been withholding information from each other to protect their identities and once the secrets come out, they have to figure out if the time they’ve spent together is worth the risk. I love Iris! I think she’s so relatable. So proud of her for standing up for herself when she found out about her fiancé and for doing what she did when she found out about the truth about Roman. She’s the prefect preschool teacher, sweet, patient and kind. She deserves all the swoon and spice after what she’s been through and Roman definitely delivered. Roman being in the public eye all the time never knows if someone is being truthful just to get close to him so he definitely embraced the fact that Iris didn’t know who he was. He was able to just be himself and show her his real self. And this man knows how to bring the swoon and he for sure delivered in the bedroom! Such a great start to the series! This is the Lauren Rowe’s trad debut and she definitely delivered!!! With the Super Bowl coming up soon, this is a must read to get you in the mood!

Excellent Rom-Com
Format: Kindle
Starting with an iconic, unhinged confrontation with a serial cheater! Quickly moving onto two awesome meet cutes. (i guess one of them is a pee-cute) Iris had a reaction I fully stand behind. I do hate the she went viral for it, but that comes back around to be almost empowering! I love an unrecognized athlete - secret identity style trope and this one was done well. Giving Iris time to heal up and bask in the attention of a man who sees her as everything she is. Roman and his family have a great relationship and the way they all came for Iris was perfect. Magic Blinders really took me! I truly love the concept, how it helped Roman, and how I can see it really helping children and people like me with adhd! Lauren stories have an interesting structure I have not read anywhere else. They keep me on my toes, laughing til I cry and really just enjoying the stories. Thanks Lauren and Netgalley.
