Central NSW, Australia | I'm with Ham but I would add a couple of points: (I have a 1051 exactly as illustrated above)
While the comb fronts may have been designed with light crops in mind, they don't do a bad job in heavier crops so long as they weren't lodged.
All the "modern" comb fronts that I have ever seen have had a sickle.
The roller in front of the table auger and above the comb was designed to minimise the amount of straw taken in, but as Ham has said, could be a pain in certain weedy crops.
With the roller removed I have successfully direct cut canola. In wheat I think I traveled at about 5 to 6 mph.
I think they made them until about '91 or '92
I used mine up until about six years ago. I am still deciding whether my move to a Lexion 480 was a step up - just kidding!
