Subject: RE: Tuning up a JD 643 corn head



West Tennessee
We looked at both of those options on our old 644 over the years. We decided that just welding some stainless patches along the worn out edges was good enough for us. We only run about 500 acres through ours though. It's also a 4 row converted to a 6 row and so not worth much money for sure. We felt like we'd have a hard time getting the chain covers to seal up and not leak. We just oil them along during harvest. We do replace the chains somewhat regularly though and if you can make the oil bath thing work you could probably run the chains about forever.
