Combines JD Heads on a 1460

[Rockfarmer]

I am running a low tin 643 cornhead and a 920 flexhead. The IH electric will not work on a JD head. I removed the DAM box from the right side of the platform, made a bracket and fastened the IH potentiometer to it. It adjusts like the DAM box did and works very good.

I did just the opposite. I installed dial a matic

When you say DAM box, are you referring to the unit on the (JD) header itselfIJ I would really appreciate some detailed info of how you did this if you wouldn't mind. Rek-Tin wants to sell me a kit for $ 225.00 to make this work. They then told me adapting to a JD head with the original IH header control valve isn't nearly as good as their complete $ 550.00 valve assembly. It sounds like you accomplished what I want to do with minimal alterations. I would greatly appreciate an email with some specifics.
