IH26: Many of the older combines will easily fit in a 12 foot door. I started out with a JD 45 and it fit easily in a 12 foot door. That was all the taller my shop door was.
As for easy of repairs. The repairs on a old self propelled combine will not be much harder than a pull type machine. The older Gleaners are easy to work on they just have a lot of moving parts. They rarely stacked the drives up. That makes them easy to work on but makes them have way more bearings, chains and shafts. The engines and ground drive usually don't give much trouble in dry ground. So the thrashing and separating systems would be about the same as a pull type.
As for needing sun flower pans. You are going to need them regardless of which machine you get to harvest them with. The problem is when you have a sunflower head turned away from the direction you are traveling the sickle will cut it off and the weight of the head will make it fall forward. Where it will fall out the front of the grain head. The grain pans catch it and hold it for another stalk or the reel to push it on into the combine.
I have seen people just take 3/4 inch plywood an make vee shaped dividers and bolt them on the sickle.
