After about 8 days total work my 1160 is ready for combining oats. I posted before about taking the drive clutch off to free the shaft, taking apart the header drive clutch to free it, and freeing up the brake pivots, they were all rusted solid. Also took the reel and sickle off and installed a pickup attachment. Just spent another 3 days on it. Gave it a tuneup and cleaned the carb, put on a new alternator and fan belt. Finished patching the header pan that was rusted out. Then finished the pickup. Had to extend the drive shaft and add a bearing out there. Was able to salvage all the parts except the belt from the old head I got the pickup from. That's also where I cut the patches for the pan from. Here are some pics of this weeks work and a video of it running.
