[AT] 2 row corn combines

[John Hall]

So far I haven't encountered anything that was NLA. It shares a lot of 
parts with a 4400 and 4420. Lots of bearings, pulleys, sprockets 
interchange with the larger models as well.

Until recent years, I don't even remember anyone around here running 
over a 16 ft grain head. Now it seems everyone has wide heads and a 
header cart to get down the road!
