nw NC | Here is a picture of the JD 64 on our farm. It has different angle steel bracing than the one pictured in my post above. ( In foreground is the windrow pick-up head for it). Ours , like the one pictured in post above, had a spout that could be used either to the side or to the rear by unbolting it and reinstalling it to the direction desired. Not quick to change and it was rigid to the rear so not able to shift it side to side. When it was to the rear it was bad to plug the spout due to the abrupt direction change and resulting slowing of the flow of silage coming out of the cutter housing. To the side it was no problem. Dad removed the bolt on spout from the 64 and replaced it with a spout from a junked JD no. 8 he found somewhere. He had a local welder mount the spout transition piece from the no. 8 flywheel cutter housing onto the 64. The no. 8 spout could be easily redirected by simply removing a pin and shoving the spout to direction desired. The no. 8 spout looked like the no. 6 spout.
