You said it's been running really well for over ten years. The gear head tinkerer in me would probably put on a matching head. But if I never saw the part number difference, it wouldn't even be a thought. Do what lets you sleep at night.

Maybe keep an eye out for a matching head but don't sweat it if it's been going over ten years.

Cool tractor
