Until the late 1960s most combine heads were not easy to swap from a grain head to a corn head and back. By then most combines were 4 row narrow or bigger. Corn heads need to match the row spacing of the corn planter. A 1970s or 1980s small 4 row unit would meet your needs if you can still find one in usable condition. At that age condition and parts availability will mean much more than brand, stay with popular models as more parts will be available from salvage yards. Deere, IH, and Gleaner were popular brands. Gleaner has a reputation for being easiest to repair.
Pull type combines are generally limited to the grain head that is on the combine as very few corn heads were ever made for them. Allis Chalmers pull type combines had a good reputation for producing clean grain. A Scour-Klean attachment cleaned the grain before it went into the grain tank. Replacing the canvas in draper heads can be expensive.
Try advertising in antique tractor club news letters to find an older well cared for combine sitting in the back of someone's shed.
