While reading the post below it got me to wondering about companies model number choices for combine heads. I know JD had the 2 series platforms and the last 2 digits were the width of the head. IH just had the 710,820,1020 and had to list the width behind the head in an ad. Ex. 1020 20' head where JD would be 220 and that is it. Meaning a 200 series 20 foot wide.
The IH and CaseIH corn heads were always number so you could tell what they were.
Similar to how JD numbered the grain platforms.
The 844 was a 800 series 4 row head on 40" or wide rows cause they were really 38" wide rows.
The 863 was a 800 series 6 row set at 30" or narrow row.
Then they came out with the 900 series and had 944,meaning a 900 series 4 row on 40/38 inch rows.
The 963 was 900 series 6 row 30 inch. A 983 would be 900 series 8 row 30 inch head.
Then came the 1000 series with a 1044,1063 and so on.
Then the 2200 series were all narrow row so the last number designated the number of rows.
Did other companies do this at all. Seems to me when I look at want ads for corn heads the other companies always listed it as a 6 row narrow or wide depending on what it was. Where the IH ads just said 844 or 963 and you knew how many rows and what row width it had.
Not that it real mathers just wondering how the companies numbered there heads.
Seems to me Massy did something similar to IH with the corn head numbers. Is this right?

Today's Featured Article - Trailering Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the fun things of summer and fall are the parades and tractor shows that go on across America. Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that ‘quick look over’ before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
