    sickle bar mowers ?

    According to the book "The Grain Harvesters" by Quick & Buchele. The first reapers made in the 1830's did not have a canvas to bring the cut grain to the edge of the platform. A left hand cut reaper was easier for a right handed man to walk along side to rake off the grain. When twine tie...

    J.I.Case Harris Hillside SP combine

    Hello All, Thanks Ande and the rest of the contributors for proof that this combine was offered for sale in the Case catalogs of the day. I am a co-owner of this machine and it is displayed at Rollag, Minnesota each Labor Day weekend. The parade spectators refer to it as the "tipping...

    JD pull-type

    There were many of the high style 65 pull types in North Dakota. Shortly after WW2 our local small town Deere dealer sold 45 of them in one season. Very few of the low style 65's were sold in our area. By then more capacity was needed and the 96 was the pull type combine of choice. I know...

    IH 403 503's

    Got this pic from a friend this week. It was taken within the last month. Understand one was sold, one donated to threshing show group, and rest went for scrap. Owner passed away recently and when one broke down he got another, from the shed. Enjoy! keith

    Info on pull-type John deere combines? - 96, 106, 6601

    When 4430"s and 7701"s were new, we did corn and soybeans with the 454 All Crop head. Fit right on the 7701 or 7721 or maybe even the 9501. Yes they made a 9501 too but I have only seen pics. Worked OK in corn but in beans it was a pain to keep on the row. When you turn to correct it...

    Possible to date this threshing photo?

    Would really like to know the manufacture, model, and years built of the tractor in this photo, so we can date it. My sister is working on a family history book and dating pics are important in her project. Picture location is in NE North Dakota so Canadian built tractors could be part of...

    Harris 98 Hillside question

    Was in Spokane WA over the 4th of July. Was given a ride on a always shedded Harris 98 (not Massey-Harris) Hillside combine. It has the rattle chain instead of walkers and spike tooth cylinder and some really interesting ideas. I suspect most of you guys are from the mid-west so hillside...

    Corn Harvest Ice

    Fall harvesting of corn in ND is always a challenge. This fall with 10" of rain since Labor Day and the last 3" coming as freezing rain makes things just that much more interesting. Thought I would share photo as they speak lots of words.

    Great Photos! Nice you shared them with us. Those old Hi/Lo combines still can earn their keep.

    JD Quick tach

    In the fall of 1969 when the New Generation 6600/7700 combines were released with the 40 series heads, Deere anticipated demand for that head on the older machines. Deere built the Intermediate Feeder House (called "quick tatch" my most everyone else) so the new heads could be used on the 1964...

    JD 105 - Wheat harvest 2008

    Thougth I would share pic of this old machine while working a 65 acre field of wheat this past Labor Day weekend. Rain was in the forcast and my brother offered to run it (8820 main combine). The 105 worked 10 hours without fail but burned 75 gal. of gasoline....I had forgot how red in color...
