Won't mount straight up.

The E's mounted with 4 of the patented (sic) wedge and hook mounts on all four corners.

K and F shared configurations with a hook over the pipe on top and the wedge hook set up on the bottom.

Not sure about the throat size. Gleaner was real bad on this. They made different head mounts for just about every model until the rotarys. Yes the F's and K's shared the same mount but you had to move the hooks to change from one machine to the other. Same with the L's and M's.

All that being said with a welder and cutting torch you can make just about anything work just takes some doing. Spend some time at the dealership looking at the appropiate parts reference materials for the corn head you are looking at it should show the parts that need to be changed if you want to try this.

If you are anywhere near NW IA and need parts for your base machine I have a E that I hope to get in the shop and put under the torch this winter some time. If you need parts I would be happy to let them go to a working machine rather than scrap. Sorry no Corn Head.
