So awhile back my dad went and bought a 1207 with the intention of flipping it. Well we've just got around to working on it and we're going to try and use it because the discbine is being a pain (this is another story)
Anyways, if you have an older style pitman arm set up and don't want to to pay for the 300 some dollar part from JD, the newer pitman arm setup will work. You will need a different sickle and the bits and pieces for the newer style but it works. Or you could swap out the sickle bar end aswell, as it is just riveted on. Just a helpful little thing for anyone that wants to save a little or has an older machine that ran and a newer parts machine that doesn't run.
