Combines 974 Corn head

I had a 974 purchased new w_out rubber paddles. I asked and was told they quit putting them on. I ran it about 5 years w_out problems. I would at least try it before I purchased paddles or try to get the seller to put them on now.

The change was made to make the vertical shaft with a grease zerk in order to get grease to the top bearing. By not having a seal on the one side of the top bearing it became possible to get grease into the bearing via the zerk on the shaft.

So that means that my head (snap ring style) can use the same bearing top and bottom, rightIJ

That's right. It's a good idea to pack grease in the cavity between the bearings just to keep moisture from getting in there.
