    Cotton Stripper Question

    What kind of feeder house system do newer cotton strippers use? Is it air delivery from the back of the header to the extractor? I'm asking because on the Allis-Chalmers 860/880 strippers, there's a rubber belt that runs on rollers. Works like a combine feeder chain, but has limited capacity in...

    What was the easiest harvester combine to work on ?

    I've read that part of the reason the Gleaners are so simple (bearings, drives, etc) is because they were designed initially for custom cutters, and knew excessive down time wouldn't be welcome on the big harvest runs.

    What was the easiest harvester combine to work on ?

    Any of the self propelled Gleaners, hands down. I've always been around Gleaners, so I couldn't say anything for other brands, until I helped a guy at harvest once who had a 6600. When I got up close and looked behind the shields, I about passed out from shock. I couldn't believe how many...

    John Deere 55H combine pictures

    Have you seen this yet? (Hopefully there is a hyperlink attached) Pretty neat, I think. And that's coming from an Allis guy... I also found several unique photos just by doing a quick Google search, so you might try that. Untitled URL Link

    John Deere 99 Cotton Picker

    Thanks! I would appreciate it. Also, if you can get any photos, that would be great! Also...out of curiosity, what part of the country are you from? I'm in Oklahoma. Just curious as to where these things were common back in the 50s/60s.

    Wasn't it more or less mounted on a tractor?

    John Deere 99 Cotton Picker

    Hello! Does anyone here have any experience with a John Deere model 99 2 row cotton picker? This is a 1960's era machine, and was Deere's first "true" self propelled picker. The one in question is a high drum model for picking tall cotton, but that doesn't make any difference to the questions in...

    Combines I've had and human nature

    I've had the same thing happen with my L3. It always overflowed on the front, and when you notice and slow down, it really rains! Yikes!

    McCormick No. 76 Harvester Thresher

    Wow!! I wish I had that many friends with combines to come harvest wheat! So far it's just me and 1 other guy with Allis drag combines.

    McCormick No. 76 Harvester Thresher

    Awesome! Wish I could do that with one of my granddad's old 55's.

    McCormick No. 76 Harvester Thresher

    x2. I know it's your machine and you're free to do as you wish, but I'd leave it original. It still looks really good, and they're only original once. I'd just rebuild it mechanically and call it good.

    She's home!

    Hi Ralph, we farm not too far from you. I'm looking for an early Gleaner A, preferably a 54 or 55, as that is what my grandpa had. Do you or anyone else know where I might could find one? Thanks!

    Converting an M to gas from LP

    Can anyone tell me what all I'd need (other than the obvious gas tank and line) to convert a LPG M to regular gasoline? Would I have to do something different with the steering system? Thanks!
