For the head drive, we replaced the yoke on the shaft to fit the 8010. The speed is fine, although we may have changed sprockets before, we ran it on a 2188. I can't remember. But a neighbor also uses 8010 on 1293 and i don't believe they changed any sprockets. The kit that bolts on does require you to cut off the two brackets where deere's pins lock the head on. If you were to ever put it back on a deere, you would need a bolt on bracket similar to the 8010 one, or weld those brackets back on.
