I'd pick up a 3970 before I went dumping money into a 35 to make it work. The heads are roughly the same anyway. I think the only difference is that the 3970 requires a jaw clutch to be on the head's drive shaft and the old heads don't have that but can be adapted. Around here were can buy 3940-3970 class harvesters for 500-1500 and often find the heads for 200-500 in workable condition. So start collecting... As far as your present problem goes... make sure you've got the filler bars removed from the front feed roll flutes. Also make sure the rubbers in the gathering chains are sync'd or they tend to not feed so good. Personally I'd say if you have broken shear pins in the feed roll drive... it's NOT going to feed at all. At least the later machines would not.
