Long story short, the head sold as a package deal with our 892 doesn't fit.
It's a 770 2 row narrow, and I never even thought of checking it before agreeing to it. We called and we can bring it back for what they sold it for if we can't sell it or trade it for one we need, but now we need a head.
My dad talked to one dealer, and they said either an 822 or 824 are the 2 heads we're looking for. I found an 822, but it's quite a drive for me to go and find out it won't fit up.
To add injury to insult, when I pulled the Fox 3000 around just so I could chop something last weekend, I opened up the knives to find a chunk missing from one, from the center of the outer bolt hole out was gone. Dad put it thru the blower pipe while doing straw 3 or 4 weeks ago, never knew what it was until Saturday. That chunk bounced around a bit and really took it's toll on all the knives. I managed to put one of our scab knives in and got it set to match the rest, but I really don't wanna go through the trouble of installing (and modifying 2 bolt knives to 3 bolt) if it's got one tire in the junk yard already. Got new 2 bolt knives, but I'd rather sell 'em.
I got 3 loads chopped and the head lands off the small field, but I really remember why I want to quit using the Fox. That head sucks royally in wind blown corn. Moderately sucks in normal modern day corn. Works fine in short corn....

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
