JD 235 cornhead for a JD 45

A few years ago I was at a sale and things where going cheap. So a lot of the stuff was going to scrapers. There was a pretty good JD 235 cornhead there. I bought it just to keep it form going to scrap. I have advertised Craigslist and on here. I have never gotten a call on it. IRC I was asking $175. That is about what I have in it. I really thought someone would want it to replace a JD 210 header as the JD 235 is a pretty good header.

So what should I asked??? This head does not show terrible amount of use and the sheet metal is pretty good too. The snouts are not all bent to heck and back. I will advertise it this fall and then if no interest I will scrap it come spring. I need to thin the herd on things under roof. I really can not justify storing a head inside that I will never use or want.
 
To me, that is a fair price. You go much lower, and it ends up in the scrap bin- where you kept it from.

The problem is demand for such stuff is almost non-existent, as you know. Low commodity prices doesn't help either. Sometimes I think the only people in the world interested in that stuff are on this site.
 
Yes, it is an updated 234. The hard part is that don't interchange between a 45 or 55 combine without changing the mounting plate on the end of the throat. So if it came off a 55, it will only go on a 55 unless you have all the parts to switch it to a 45. It can be done, but getting those parts for a 50 year old head is difficult.
 
Well if it fits I'm interested, depending on were you are located I'm might come get it today. If I recall correctly you're in Iowa somewhere?
