I bought a JD 494 several years ago, the fertilizer parts were gone, if it ever had them.  It was pretty worn out, but it worked as long as you don't want row markers.  I hit a stump in a field this year and broke the casting for one row unit.  I found a replacement from someone that cuts these down.  I'd rather plant 4 rows than 2 :-)  The 4 and 6 row planters are cheaper around here than the 2 row planters.  These can be cut down to fewer rows, but you have to keep the center 2, any cut off are just spare parts.

My recollection, dim as it may be, is that when you move the rear wheels out on the axles for the picker, the tires pretty much take up the whole distance between the 38 inch rows outside of the ones you are picking, much less 30 inch rows.  I’d suspect you might run over those rows, or at least knock them down.  Course if the manual doesn’t say, you’ll know soon enough when you get the picker mounted by measuring from the outside to outside of the tires.
