That is John Deere's first attempt at a haybine type machine and from what I have read they were not very good. I was thinking the model number was something like 480 but can not remember for sure. The 1209 and then the 1219 were the successor models and frankly they were not that great either but much improved compared to the model pictured.
Anyway, I have run a 9'3" Hesston model 1120 sickle based mower conditioner many times behind my bone stock gas model Farmall H. It does fine with it. Have ran it with my John Deere A as well.
