Ok, I'm beating they are not half moons, because they just used it to cut Milo. I will let know this weekend , you are the bomb! Thank you you rock!

I talked to the previouss owner last night and I learned that the c doesn't have rpm gages? Not one in the machine... Owe and itdoes come with operators manual!

Looks like a clean machine
 

[Jkasper123]

Yes he took pride in it , I was pleased 27th it's apperance!
 

[JimIA]

That is a sharp machine. Not going to find a cleaner one.
 

[ND856]

Thats a very clean combine, Nice find! I wouldve guessed it was a C II.
 

[Bob Bancroft]

No tach. in the E,A,C. Just the red light for stone door. The next generation, K,F,G had multi function tach.

That was my feelings when I saw it! The guy who owned it didn't think he has much there , I was pleased as punch when the other bidders stopped at 1300! I really thought I was going to pay 2 or more for it! Baring a disaster I felt like I made out like a bandit!

You sure that isn't a C 2, with the widen out hopper is all i got to go bye, but that looks like a real gem, what it say up there on the hopper ?
 

[GreenEnvy]

It has to be a C2. I have a early A2 and it doesn't have big levers and the big light up there in the cab. I looked at my A2/C2 brochure and the pics it shows of the operators' platform matches the picture.
 

[Jkasper123]

Maybe it is a c2!? When were they built?
 

[Jkasper123]

I can see C but not the 2 it may be a C 2 I'll be up there tomorrow. And I'll know for sure. Now the C2 is just a bigger version of a c right?

Updated version, nearly identical. Most Gleaners were modeled as such, the first model was identified by a letter, then in a few years, a number was added to that letter as improvements/options were added to the original. Yours is the cleanest nicest old Gleaner I have ever seen, it must be 50 years old. They are a good reliable simple machine, but keep the channel concaves for harder to thresh crops. 15 minute job to change them. Make sure the concave door is not twisted from stone damage, keep the raddle chain snug or update it to metal slats if you intend to harvest corn. Been running Gleaners for 40 years.

Do you have shed space. That is way too nice to let it set outside. Looked at pictures on Purple Wave. Serial number starts with a C. Does anybody on here know if CIIs had serial numbers starting with CII?

Thank you ben! I can't wait to get it home. According to the owner it had only cleaned Milo and wheat. We are leaving today to get the header and next weekend we pill the machine it's self home. I will posting pictures and updates as we go and I'll have lots of questions. I bought it because I want to collect combines and I will be cutting barely and beans with it. I raise corn as well but I will use the he 3300 for that. I feel very fortunate to have gotten it. Thank you guys all for the responses and future help!
