I'll Be Da*ned!

Drivin' by the dealer's lot yeasterday and spotted this old low-profile corn head setting along the hiway.

Hmmmmm, looks an awfully lot like the one I had bought new back in the late 70s or early eighties and had to sell. So, I stopped in there this morning just to see, inquire, snoop and ask.

Yep, so and so just traded it in. HEY! THAT'S MY OLD CORN HEAD!!!

Bought it on the spot..... ..... ..... and don't have a single stalk of corn to my name. 'Tol ya I was crazy. :>)

Oh yeah, center divider is around back of their building for some darned reason. :>)

No doubt the old sister is gonna take some TLC to make it field worthy again and I keep telling myself that it was traded off for a reason.

One of these days, I'll go talk to the prior owner and see what he says about it.

The combine/heads were one of the few items that I knew where it went. Just kinda nice to have the same exact piece of machinery back again. :>)

PS. Oh yeah and DUH! Woke up in the middle of the night, figured out why that center divider was off. That's how they loaded the old rascal... :>)

Allan

How do you do it?

I have things I have traded in and wished I would have kept but I never see them again.

1086fwd is one of them.

Anyone seen it lately.

As I remember it, I had to drive up on the row when I switched to the narrows.

The wide 38s would let the combine track down in between.

Allan

My current F is one of the last Fs built. Is the head gonna fit my machine?

Allan

Orange heads have different drive sprockets on the combine than the black heads have - you''l have to check what your combine came with.

I'll check the old smoker next time I walk by 'er.

Seems to me that it has the 13-tooth 60-chain sprokets. Can't 'member for sure tho.

I recently found a Massey ferguson 230 tractor that my Dad sold in the early 90's. Somehow it managed to get to ohio, then back to PA, and then 30 miles from my house 15 years later. The weights and the scratches in the paint were a dead giveaway.
