Hello all. New to the forum. I am looking for anyone who knows where I can loctate a New Holland 717s direct cut head for my silage chopper. I do not know where to begin looking for one. My local New Holland dealer looked at me like I was crazy. They didn't even know what I was talking about.
 
I may know of one in northwest PA. I don't know the condition or if will fit a 717s. Is that close enough to you for me to investigate further?

I live in tennessee but if the direct cut head would fit my 717s chopper and it was in usable condition I would drive that far to get it.
 
Your best area to search will be in PA maybe NY as well. Years ago they were very popular. Dad had one on his IH 350 and his Deere 38. I have had several over the years. They are still sought after for the Mexican market and many have been exported there. Try Fry Machinery in PA at 570-546-3968. Tom
 
I spoke to the man who owns it. He is pretty sure it will fit a 717S chopper and is useable. If you are still interested, send me an email and I'll give you his contact details.
 
Look in the bottom right hand corner of that post and this one. It should say "send email" and you should be able to email me. If it works better for you to leave your number here I will call. you.
 
I think there is still one at Dad's old place, or over at the neighbors who we used to chop with. Years ago, we ran 2 717s and an IHC 550. Pulled all of
them with 570super Cockshutts. Located in central Nebraska. Keep in mind they have all been sitting for nearly 50 years.
