I have a 84 27foot on N5 fits right on but bottom looks to have two holes where some pins locate which N5 feeder house does not but does'nt stop it fitting cause i scooped it up off ground where it was dumped as per normal and it all looked like the drive shafts would couple right up.But i have'nt used it just moved it around .I have 24' twin knife and converted the left hand threaded pitman end where the tierod screws in because i refuse to pay $200.00 ea Australian for the lefthand threaded tierod .local machine shop cut off left and welded in right .Right threaded piece from truck junk yard . Now just buy common part lot cheaper part. USA parts price might'n be so savage. peng

We had the same problem. We had to tack the motor to make sure the rpm. was not turn up to fast, this would break the sickle by having the head drive run too fast. We also converted to driving from one side only. Hope this helpsIJ

To fit the head on the N6 you need a series 3 "collar." That collar can be series I, III or III for lateral tilt. I suspect the newer header has a 3 in it. You can fairly easily interchange the first two collars. Sooo buy the new header and switch collars which leaves a double pitman for sale with a newer collar. I have a series I collar for sale very reasonable. Good luck
