West Tennessee
Everything else should be fine but I HATED the spring hold down things. We have put them on and taken them off twice now. Still have enough for a 20ft head at the shop that I'll gladly give away If I haven't thrown them so far I can't find them. I resolved myself to accept replacing the plastic wear strips almost daily which was why we took them off of one header. The kicker is that the carriage bolts that bolt them to the "backbone" of the head can spin out in the softer aluminum hold down. If you have a cutting torch handy that would probably be the easiest way to get it out at that point. VERY aggravating and I had enough of that. We don't always carry the torch to the field with us and wrestling with that spun out hold down to accomplish a very simple broken blade change was more than my temper could stand. That's my two cents, your mileage may vary. BTW the adjustment part is as easy as it appears and works very well.
