John Deere 494A & 495A Corn Planters Operator's Manual
This is the Operator's Manual for the John Deere 494A and 495A corn planters, covering setup, planting adjustments, marker operation, attachments, lubrication, and beginning- and end-of-season service across 64 pages. This is the factory document John Deere issued to 494A and 495A owners and is available as an instant digital download.
About the John Deere 494A and 495A
The John Deere 494A and 495A were toolbar-mounted row crop planters produced in the 1960s and 1970s, designed for 4-row corn planting in the standard 38-inch and 40-inch row spacings that dominated Corn Belt farming in that era. The 494A was configured for hill-drop or drill corn planting, while the 495A offered the additional flexibility of hill-drop or drill planting in a single unit without requiring separate attachment changes — the key operational distinction between the two models. Both used John Deere's cell-type metering mechanism, with seed plates that had to be matched to corn seed size (flat, round, or large round) and adjusted for target plant population. The attachment lineup available for the 494A and 495A was extensive, including dry fertilizer hoppers, liquid fertilizer units, trash kickers for minimum-tillage conditions, and multi-row extensions for 6-row and 8-row configurations. The 494A and 495A were also capable of planting soybeans and maize with the appropriate seed plates and population chart settings documented in this manual.
What This Manual Covers
This 64-page manual covers both the 494A and 495A with separate instructions where procedures differ between models. Key sections include:
- Identification & Specifications — model identification views and factory specifications for both planters
- Operation — preparing the tractor and planter; hitching and transporting; marker operation; planting depth adjustment; hill-drop planting (494A); drill planting (494A); hill-drop or drill planting (495A); soybean, maize, and plant population charts
- Attachments — fertilizer and dry fertilizer hopper attachments; insecticide and herbicide attachments; trash kickers and minimum tillage attachment; press wheels, bands, scrapers, and rubber tires; row leveling blades and gauge shoes; double disk furrowers and disk coverers; six-row planting extension and eight-row hitch; beet seed hopper (494A); pea and bean attachment
- Safety, Lubrication & Service — safety guidelines; lubrication points; beginning- and end-of-season service; timing the planter; runner alignment and rockshaft bearings; common planting problems and causes
Why This Manual Matters
- 494A vs. 495A procedures documented separately: The two models handle hill-drop and drill planting differently, and the manual documents each model's specific procedures rather than combining them — essential when operating or setting up a machine you didn't buy new
- Planter timing procedure: Correctly timing the metering mechanism is the single most important setup task for consistent seed spacing — the factory timing procedure documented here is the authoritative reference for both models
- Seed plate and population charts: Corn, soybean, maize, and population chart tables are included with the correct plate selection for each seed type and size — the reference that operators reach for when switching crops or seed varieties
- Troubleshooting common planting problems: Skip patterns, doubles, uneven spacing, and population errors are documented with their causes and corrections — the diagnostic section that's most valuable during planting season when there's no time to guess
- Minimum tillage attachment documentation: Trash kickers and minimum-tillage attachments are covered for operators running reduced-tillage systems, which were becoming common as these planters aged into the conservation tillage era
- Original factory content: This is the manual John Deere issued to 494A and 495A owners, carrying manual code OM-B25384

Best for a large PC case, works on smaller towers with mods
This thing is solid! I strongly recommend setting your tower on it to get a feel for the orientation you want before attaching it to your desk or wall. I had to re-mount mine because I had it positioned too far back to be able to plug cables into the PC tower. When the ad says its for a large PC tower they are not joking. I would consider my PC case to be a fairly average size but the bottom clamp and side arms don't hold my case at all. Theres a z shaped bracket included to attach to the main support and let it contact the desk or wall surface behind it. I used this part to wedge between the bottom clamp snd my PC case to hold it in place. My mount is still very sturdy without that bracket in place. I cheated during install and stacked some books under it to bring it up to the height of the bottom of my desk, made easy work of it. I really want to give it 5 stars but unfortunately the fitment issue leaves me hanging, literally. Maybe I will update my rig and get a larger PC case down the road. What I love about this item is my tower used to be on my desktop. Now its tucked away neatly and I was able to separate my 2 monitors more. Feels like a whole new workspace with less clutter and more table space for projects. Good item.

Attractive design+color, slender profile, excellent functionality, budget price (8 outlet model)
Color: Black, Size: 8 Outlet, Style: Outlets Only, Color: Black, Size: 8 Outlet, Style: Outlets Only
This is exactly what I wanted. (It’s even better - slimmer, easier to handle cord, than the Belkin in this design style.) Perfect fit for the lower shelf of my night table. To charge my phone, iPad, Bluetooth headset, and the like (plug my lamp into it as well, for convenience-sake not surge protection). The 8 outlets are perfectly spaced/placed.
I briefly considered the model with the USB cord plugs directly into the unit, but for me, at this point, for this purpose the extra price didn’t seem worth-it. My USB charging adapters aren’t that bulky, and with this design they can be plugged side-by-side.
I do like the convenience of that design, with the USB plugs, and will likely get it in the future, and move this one to either my home-office, or dressing area. So, this “basic” one wouldn’t be wasted. And meanwhile it’s a great budget option that sacrifices none of the design, style, or function. It’s attractive, useful, well conceived/designed and executed. For well under $20. Nice color too.
Would be perfect anyplace. Though I’d think this more basic model isn’t intended for multiple multimedia devises all in one - looked like they had more suitable models for if you wanted to say plug in your TV, your game console, your streaming and/or cable - do they still call it that? - box/devise, your speakers with or without subwoofer, along with your modem and WiFi-router all into one. Someone, who works with high end electronics and/or an electrician/engineer correct me if I’m wrong. But I’d get a model - of this same device if there’s one of suitable capacity - which that’s meant to handle such a load for my entertainment center. I think another reviewer talked about joules and capacity, I think it was for this model. Or at least this manufacturer.
Though I don’t see it being convenient for travel - not sure about that question there, maybe more convenient than some other styles; certainly not anywhere that’s not 120V, and I doubt that at this level it’s sufficient protection for anywhere with radically irregular electrical/voltage supply, not just the occasional spike, like say - Malawi Africa for a random example out of personal experience, for something like that you’d actually have to spend money and get a proper UPC, not to mention bulky-bulky, but that’s not relevant here, for this, just this isn’t something like that. This is for use with stable electrical and voltage supply, should give perfectly adequate protection for the occasional spikes and surges such as those following a power outage, within the design specification.

Excellent value from a reliable & known brand
Color: Black, Size: 8 Outlet, Style: Outlets Only
I've always bought surge suppressors and the like from APC. They're very reliable and well-made. The equipment protection guarantees are great, too. This strip is not as sturdy as some other APC strips, but it is also less expensive. Perfect for basic home use (a TV, Xbox, etc). I'd get a higher up APC model if you're protecting a workstation computer or high end audio gear. But for basic stuff, this strip is a good value. I'd trust this far more than a lesser known brand.

APC is a trusted brand - this guy is beautifully thought out!
Color: Black, Size: 8 Outlet, Style: Outlets Only
It's hard to get excited about a power strip- but when they designed this one, the engineers at APC hit it out of the park! I love how the 'wall warts' (those odd klunky AC/DC power adapters that so many devices come with nowadays) have their own spot on this unit, and do not block out the remaining plugs that regular AC power cords (3 prong grounded) require. This is VERY important! Most of the competition has you forfeiting one or more plug locations when a wall wart blocks you out! There are on/off status lights (green means OK) and and on/off SWITCH. For the modest and reasonable cost, you get great surge protection. I have used APC products for many years, particularly fond of their backup UPS power supplies. I plan to buy more of this model for my apartment. The quality is there, a nice heavy line cord to connect to the AC power, and better-than-average build quality. Slick!
