JD 55 cylinder extension

On the 55 I have there are extentions on the lift cylinders. I read somewhere they are for use with the 313 corn head. I use them with the regular platform otherwise it does not lift very high. I am looking at buying another 55 this afternoon to put the corn head on. Does anyone remember reading anything obout the extentions? I would like to find another set for the second machine but now I can't find anything about them in the combine operator or parts book. I have even looked thru the book for the 313 corn head. Any suggestions?
 
The 45/313 I had did not need them.It had PLENTY of hieght.The 95/443
has a set.I used the 95 for a rear with out
them.Got by. Gives about 4" or so more length on the cylinder.They
are baisicly just a piece of pipe with one end
smashed and a hole on each end.You could eaisily
make something like that.Use the one on your other
combine as a pattern.
 
We use them for the 234 corn head on our
45, it shouldn"t be that to make a set or
have a welding shop make a set. To me it
seems like such a cheap design, our
cylinders and extensions don"t even have
rod ends.
 
The extensions were used for the 234 and 235 cornheads.You can call Bowie equipment in Tipton Ia at 563-886-6946.He has lots of 45-55-95-105 parts machines and is great to work with.
 
I know that they show the extensions when using a quick tach feederhouse.
My 55 has a feederhouse and it will not lift very high with a 343. I do not have the extensions.

I have the quick tach feeder house for the grain head. With out the extentions it will probably only come up a foot off the ground.

Reed, where are you located at. I am in the "Thumb of Michigan".

Lift height isnt a problem with a bean head. Corn head is were the problem is. It's only a foot or so off the ground.
This is how high the head lifts.
I'm south central MN, down by I-90.
