What does it have for a head, and how many acres has it done? They're good enough units for being built in the 80's. I have a 6450 and a 6650. The 6650 came with a 21 foot draper head that turned out to be too big for my use, so i sold the head and kept the tractor. I then bought the 6450 for its 15 foot draper head.
I used it on the 6450 for two years before I switched it to the 6650. The 6450 was a nice rig, smooth gas engine, never seemed short on power. But the 6650 has a cab with air and a diesel, so I switched them. This past summer, the wobble box up on top for the twin knife had a catastrophic failure. We cobbled it back together, and it suffered another catastrophic failure 50 acres later. Now I'm hunting for a replacement head.
If the head is wore out, the machine is worth scrap price. My draper head had nearly the the entire cutterbar frame rusted away underneath, a fair bit of stress cracks, and the parts needed to fix up the wobble box were still available, but cost more than I paid for the entire unit. So look over the head really well.

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
