Combines 860 header front identification

Shaft, from what I can work out by looking at the 9000 series front operators manual and a product information manual I have for 1859,and 2381 series fronts, your front would either be a 2381 or a 9000 series. there appears to be very little, if any, difference between the two. All 9000 series fronts have the hydro reel drive supplied from the header ( combine),whereas the 2381 series fronts may be or they may have their own self contained tank and pump driven from the front drive shaft. Hope this helps. Where in Aust. are youIJ I guess yours is a 30 foot front, but if you have a 24 foot front, I have an air reel going cheap..... See my other post.

Dan, the front sounds like a 2381 as it has its own hydraulic resevoir mounted on it. I am in Wedderburn in central Vic and am not looking forward to this lean harvest.
