I would like to try to put together something different for my 303 this year. The 13 foot head that is on it now is too big really, and I have worked and worked and worked on it trying to get the vibrations out of the HC cutterbar.
Its bad enough that I cant keep the pitman drive put together any more, tack welds on bearing collars and sprockets to keep things put together, have repaced needle bearing in head, adjusted over and over, had new wear parts machined, just hate it at this point and want to enjoy the old thing again.
Anyhow, I am thinking of finding a 615 feeder for it, would there be any newer model head that would have a wobble box and floating cutterbar I could make work? I work for MacDon and have toyed with the idea of building a draper, but even junk 960's bring 10 times what my old 303 is worth :
Open to suggestions!
