Fifty-one years ago we had a brand new 715, 833 corn head, and 13 foot 810 with a Hart-Carter flex attachment. The 403 it replaced had a rigid platform you ran manually. Seems like the 715 had some wing bolt clamp float springs on the lift cylinders that were moved aft out of the way for running in manual mode but I think there was a cable apparatus on the 810 that may have only functioned as an attempt at a header height control indicator. First day of corn picking my dad ran the head low like he was used to doing on previous corn heads and ingested a softball sized rock.

And some of the rules are advertised as voluntary, such as participation in government "support" programs which in truth are more about regimentation than about the benevolence of the term "support". These strictures are only voluntary if one does not require outside sources of monetary supplement to operate, a definite rarity in today's ridiculous climate of a supply cartel on the front side and a purchase cartel on the back end, who most definitely have endeavored to own politicians.

I agree but would submit that we don’t really know the actual value of corn at this point, we only have an advertised price from the globalist cartel. The concept of economic liberty upon which the nation was built and therefore critical to it’s survival as founded is not advanced when we’re essentially forced to operate with rules written by crony capitalist goons.

It has been stated that corn is capable of producing 600 bushels per acre. And then we start screwing that up when we open the bag. I tend to agree with that. I also have found in side by side comparisons that a given variety can and will be more productive in it’s untraited form.

No worry on starving the pump(s)?

That's probably the best idea. Investigate the filters.

Paper parts book is so refreshing when compared to the online parts resource you can't see because it keeps toggling away every time you move the cursor.

Toss in a hair dryer and intercooler and you have a sleeper GN.

I only hit this thread because I thought it was going to be GTO related.....

J code body style. I had a friend who worked at Buick back then and he told me J stood for Junk not long after I had purchased an 84 Skyhawk SCS Turbo (more or less a Baby Grand National) from him.

About the only thing intelligent that has come from the Italian ownership is the cost of licensing the IH logo was slashed. Prior to that it was all Deere swag everywhere while almost zero IH logo merch existed because the wizards of smart were too stupid to realize the bennies of free advertising.

It's designed so the coupler takes the punishment.

It says 14+ so I'm old enough to own one. Why don't the Spaghetti Benders who own this stuff just get over all the stupid baggage and recognize where this company might be if they just renamed it International Harvester? It so happens they own the naming rights and while they're at it paint the big dog tractors Steiger Green. Turns out you can pick them out from a long ways away which is exactly why the Steiger boys painted them as they did.

I know a guy who lives out of the state but hauls in Pricksterville all the time. He fills up in Illinois on purpose to backfill with the refund. The law of unintended consequences always escapes the totalitarian blinder controlled vision of the bureaucrat.

I always grease them every couple days. Can't remember if it's recommended for 50 or 100 hours but a little more grease is better.
