just a tish NE of central ND | Oh man,OH MAN>>>>> youre a couple years too late,I could have provided you with two #6s', one with 2 row and one with pickup head. Both the scrapper got. And they were in quite nice useable shape yet. Sort of a shame but no one here wanted them.... I believe they were made in 1956 or so. # 6 used a v belt. Im thinking that the #5 used a flat belt.Not sure about the flat belt though.

They are flywheel type cutterhead machines. Knives are in front of the flywheel and paddles on the outside perimiter,they blow the silage up the spout. 2 spring loaded feed rolls on top and one smooth roll just ahead of the shear bar on the bottom.Ahead of that is an apron chain that runs beneath the row units and the elevators feed the rolls/ apron chain.The chopper had a forward and reverse gearbox and a sloppy pattended excentric type of a pitman that ran a sickle through a seris of troublesome ball joint drives that absoultly sucked to lay under and fix or even grease. since the hydraulics didnt lift the row units very high off of the ground.
