Case 306 cornhead jacks

dbock · May 17, 2014

Well, I got the 1665 put back together. Now I'm going to try to switch heads. I noticed in the parts manual for the Case 306 cornhead that there is a jack available. My 306 does not have jacks on it. Does anyone have a picture of the jacks or know where they are located? I would like to fix something up like the original jacks if I can, but if anyone has any other ideas please let me know.

Thanks,
Dan B

I've often wondered what happened to all the header jacks. The early Deere heads required jacks as well and most of them seem to be missing. I think someone somewhere must have sheds and more sheds full of header jacks and John Deere tractor center links.

They are a fold up jack that fits under the main frame of the corn head. Large 1 1/4 acme thread shaft that pushed against a metal foot. Be tough to find the large acme thread, besides they were always frozen unable to turn. Couple handy man jacks and blocks work better and quicker.

You can get the Acme thread rod probably from MCMaster Carr or we stock it for drives that we build at work.
