You do not have the true dial-a-matic control box. They need six or seven wires to work on all ranges. Yours has an adaptor harness on it to make it work on a single range. As for pulling up on the control rod??? I am not sure what rod your talking about???? The rod going to the "box" should make it raise IF that is what is controlling the header.
The way your header is wired will only work on one of the settings. If you have moved it off that setting your just skidding the header along without any lift. So you would need to try to make it raise in all four settings on the dial-a-matic dial. If it is working on the one setting it really is not that big of a deal to just use it that way. I bet that I do not use more than one setting all year.
As for putting the correct dial-a-matic control box on the header. It is simple really. You would need the control box and the small mounting bracket and the wiring harness. The harness on your other headers should be long enough to work. I would bet that you would find a bunch of wire wrapped up between the control box and the feeder house opening. The retro fit kits only had ONE harness in them. It was about twenty feet long and you just tied up the extra.
Here is a picture of how/where the dial-a-matic control box is located.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
