John deere #8 forage harvester

Does anybody out there have a John Deere #8 forage harvester? Do you collect the chopper or is it still used? I bought a chopper and it came with a windrow pickup head for the #8 but I don"t need it. Anybody interested in this head? I would really like to find somebody that could use it. The head is located in Illinois. Let me know. Thank you

those are some nice pictures! i always liked the #6,8, and 12 choppers
never used one, just thought they looked good
 
Same as other pic. A 1968 4020 with M&W turbo that my dad bought new. You mentioned direct cut header. Are there any in your area? I would like a nice 8ft one to fit my 35 or 3940 chopper. Tom
 
Trying to think what that one was that I had. Had two as a matter of fact. Number 6 I thought. Knives and fan ran off a flat belt in front.
 
Thanks . And no the only time I’ve ever seen a direct cut header was in my picture books. Would love to see one run
 
Thank you for the responses. TomsTractorandtoys: those are very nice looking choppers and tractors. I am an implement collector and love to see The implements getting used. The chopper I bought was a #12 with a 1 row corn head and somebody previous put a #8 windrow pickup head on it. I hope this winter I'll have enough time to get my chopper in working order and then I can play around with next year.
