Rebuilding Combine Headers for resale

[Robert E, Smith]

Just wondering if you think there would be a market or money in buying and rebuilding used headers?
Been working on our's and got to thinking maybe there would be? What do you think?

a good reliable grain or corn head will bring more than the threshing unit on 30 year year old outfits around here ... just invested $600 in one row for a 33 MF 33 head I have used over 20 years .. Corn heads will eat you alive rebuilding Right ,, I have passed on a couple , for fear they were in worse condition than mine before I repaired it .. seems like the more experience I get , The least likely I will trust a paintjob /rebuild .... do you recall a quote from PT BARNUM,,,,

It seems to me around here it brings in more money just parting them out! Guys get a ton of money for snoots and gathering chain assembly's. You may have good luck rebuilding platforms for resale, but I think corn heads might eat your wallet with little return.
