Combines Jd header to 850 massy

I put a 920 JD flex head on my 850 last summer. Does your 200 series head really have a pet.(dialamatic) or reed switches. If it has reed switches ( older style) You can just cut off the JD plug and hook it to the Massey plug. If it is really dialamatic you have two options. Cut off the JD plug and pick the right three wires, you have three choices for the height of cut. This way will work I was told by the Service Manager at logan John Deere in Mitchell ON Canada; however, the switch on the header will not last all long as it should because MF and JD don't run the same voltage to there heads. Also you won't have the true dialamatic, three positions of cut height adjustable from the cab.
