I think they used the Claas grain heads and Massey Ferguson 800 series corn head. The corn head may have had different drives from the feeder to head. Not sure as I know little to nothing about corn heads. Saw some in Colorado in the 90's. They c heads were shipped from brazil. Probably same as last NA heads.

Correction: corn heads are 1163 and 1183 old MF design I think. The brochure I have gives no grain head numbers. Direct cut and flex heads look Claas. Not sure about pickup head.

The straight cut headers were the 9550 series and the flex heads were the 9650 series. There were very few 30 foot headers ever brought in. Flex heads were usually 20 and 25 feet. The corn heads were the MF 1100 series and used an adapter kit to mount to the 8450_60 machines. If anyone has a need to mount a corn head, I have two new_unused adapter kits including the speed change sprockets.
