Locking up a case ih 1020 for wheat

We bought a 20ft 1991 1020 this winter. I remember the old guy I bought it from telling me how to get it ready for wheat pointing out the little brackets that go underneath the head, I think there's 5 or 6, and i have those, and also showing me the chain by the wobble box on the Lh side and telling me I need to take that off and stick a piece of metal in it's place. I asked the local case ih dealer about it, and they didn't know what I was talking about. Said all I needed was the stuff underneath. Then I got a manual in the mail, and sure enough, shows the piece the old guy was talking about. I can not find this piece or a part number anywhere. I've spent enough time staring at the case ih parts website to drive me nuts. Anyone happen to know the part number or if I can get by without it?
 
This is the chain. Picture is rotated 90?. Rh side is the bottom.

When I bought my 1020 it had only been used for beans, and not locked up, so none of the pieces I needed were with it. I got them all from the local dealer. The part you lack is a threaded clevis assembly. I don't remember who found it. I'll have a look at the parts pictures.
 
The 1020 heads are kind of famous for busting the cutter bar where the wobble box mounts.

The original part is adjustable for length, not sure if it really needs to be.

If you can't find the original, I think I would fabricate something.
 
This is kind of a side track - when I see a title like this with the number 1020 I starting thinking its a tractor from the 20's and 30's. I've seen several implements lately with the same model numbers as some previously numbered models of old tractors. Maybe that's just an indication of how old I am.
 
I have a 1020 head and when I do wheat I bolt up the bottom with the bracket's for the floating head, I never had to do anything else. good luck !
