I have thought about this myself except I wanted to use a IH 201 that was for sale nearby. I spoke to our local dealer and he said that a 201 would only work for dry hay under certain conditions; its intended use was for hay silage that was to be picked up out of a windrow. If the hay was too heavy it would take too long to dry down in a timely fashion for baling; the 201 has no provision for dropping hay wide. From what I gather of your post, this is essentially what you are building. You dont mention if you are chopping or baling. What kind of crop you are wanting to produce is an important factor in this project. Without knowing your exact intentions, I would remove the combine head completely and attach the haybine of your choice in its place, then you can power it with the combines regular header drive. You now have the option to drop the hay wide or in a windrow, as conditions warrant. Im guessing you must have a 15 foot head on that L, I think that is too much green hay to put in a windrow, unless you have a nice Tedder that can spread it out. But then, thats another trip over the field that could be omitted if the hay were dropped wide and allowed to dry naturally. Like to hear more details on this project.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
