From Agco?
71485011 is the dropped floor from a 2008 and newer. It's also a LOT heavier than what is factory in a R62.
71397143 is the rear of the feeder housing, and I have shortened and dropped it when installing it like Dan does. An R66 is about an inch shorter, and 3/4" lower than an R65 and earlier, and the S9 shortened it some more. We modified an R62 to be more like an S9, and I'm not sold on doing that much again...makes getting the metal seal plate in there REALLY tight and bends it. Hasn't caused issues, but just don't like it.
The rear feed floor we definitely like the dropped kit...but I think modifying the tube in front of the pivot shaft, and the false floor does more for feeding than dropping the rear of the feeder house floor does.
I attached those instructions from AGCO

EDIT, 71397143 is $412.05 from AGCO, 71485011 is $946.72...I haven't priced Dan's kit, so his may be more affordable than buying from AGCO. I tend to stick with factory parts, because it's easier to keep track of what we're doing to machines, and I can just tell the parts guys what to look for.
