What does it have for a head, and how many acres has it done? They're good enough units for being built in the 80's. I have a 6450 and a 6650. The 6650 came with a 21 foot draper head that turned out to be too big for my use, so i sold the head and kept the tractor. I then bought the 6450 for its 15 foot draper head.
I used it on the 6450 for two years before I switched it to the 6650. The 6450 was a nice rig, smooth gas engine, never seemed short on power. But the 6650 has a cab with air and a diesel, so I switched them. This past summer, the wobble box up on top for the twin knife had a catastrophic failure. We cobbled it back together, and it suffered another catastrophic failure 50 acres later. Now I'm hunting for a replacement head.
If the head is wore out, the machine is worth scrap price. My draper head had nearly the the entire cutterbar frame rusted away underneath, a fair bit of stress cracks, and the parts needed to fix up the wobble box were still available, but cost more than I paid for the entire unit. So look over the head really well.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
