I hope you live in the country, not the city. I don't think your neighbors would like looking at a 30 year old piece of a combine in the neighborhood everyday. Although I would'nt mind it.

Unfortunately its city but I have warned the neighbors and they don't mind. They know I am crazy. I will ship it to the farm next spring.

Thank you for the tips. I just hope the electric fuel pump, starter will work. This will be an interesting challenge and I am looking forward to it.

Thank you. Being a former USAF pilot, safety is always on my mind. I have a lot of time in a 4420 so I am comfortable with this machine. I'll try to find the serial number today. Will a 4420 platform, by chance, bolt onto thisIJ The platform is pretty small on this one.

You might want to check the distributor before you give 'er a whirl. Keep us posted. I also enjoy your pictures. Have fun!! I also saw a guy pull one backwards before with the rear wheels on a tow dolly like you use to tow a car. Just another thought.

Also check your steering lines. You'd hate to lose one half way there.

Will do. Right now you can spin the steering wheel freely with the engine off. I don't remember that happening in the 6620 this fall.

I can't help you with the head. I think a 4420 would drop on but, I don't know for sure. My color is RED. My cousins ran a 4400 Diesel until it died. If I remember right they had a 15' or 16' head. I was around it some and ran in the same field with it a couple of times. I had a TR70 NH then and the NH had more capacity. Good luck and keep us posted.
