I really dont have an answer..But I have seen a number of red and silver machines with green heads on them.So it must be a fairly easy adaptation.

Yes, you will need a Bish head adapter plate and also change the JD chain coupler drive shaft over to the IH 1 1/8 hex shaft.

Bish makes them. The company is in Neb.

Like the poster below stated Bish makes them. You should be able to find one used. They where real common around here. IH did not have a very good corn head for a good number of years.

I would place a want ad in a regional paper about wanting one. I would bet that they are laying around and not thought about.

I have had them before and did not give more than a few hundred dollars for them used.
