Papec

[HP 28-50]

Saved a 1 row forage harvester from the scrappers. PTO fan and knives, ground driven cutter and gathering chains. What model am I looking at?

Here is a pic of one.

Thanks a ton. I've been throwing this pitch for over a year and your the first home run. Pa had a 151 on the farm (I think), but it was to slow to fill a 70's vintage Hanson. So a 702 NI showed up from Lafayette, WOW that was something. 35 years later I tripped over this one.
Heard said that Papec was a supplier for JD, slid into wood chippers, eventually controlled by someone else, with an eventual shut down in the 70's, and a building fire in 80's that closed all records. Also heard of possible ties to FOX and Hinnicker.
