You would be wasting money setting up an IH 400 planter for no-till. It is way too light to do the job well. Plus the attachments would be next to impossible to find for it as well.
A JD 7000 or 7200 would be a good choice. A Kinze 2000 would work well too. To get a CIH no-till you would have to get into at least a 900 and you would be looking at bigger money then.
The JD and Kinze are the cheapest to find parts and attachments for. They have the biggest market share for a reason. That IH 400 of your is cheap for a reason too. They did not work the best.
To no-till you need a single disk opener(runs in front of the double disk seed openers), Trash wipers would be good too but not a drop dead thing, heavy duty down pressure springs, Spike or cast closing wheels if the ground is dry and hard. This is all you really need. I like the DAWN combination opener and trash wipers. They are well made and adjust easy. Yetter would be my second choice.
You will have a hard time finding a good used no-till planter if it has done many acres. No-till is hard on the planter. It is running in hard rough ground. All of the pivots and linkages wear faster. I would look for a good non no-till. Then add you own attachments. You can find good used attachments for the common JD and Kinze Planters. You need to start looking NOW.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
