Today I pulled out a Early to Mid 1950's Allis Chalmers All-Crop Harvester Combine Brochure
A lot of model 66 were made from around 1936 up to 1960 then replaced by the model 72
Early models had 60" cutting head. This brochure has the 66" head
It is a 18 page brochure and here are 10

I have been posting this Bi-Weekly thread on Literature for almost 3 years here on YT
I have been trying to keep track on which brochure I have post so that I don't Repost any from the past
I hope that by showing these brochures out of my Collection they bring back memorys
If anyone wants to see my past postings use the search tab at the top right. Put Literature and then my handle Craigwis

My FIL had a 60. Didn't use it often bc one field of grain could give him enough for several years of feed on his small operation. When he gave up the milking he sold it. As I recall he got $200 for it, two years after he spent $400 for new canvases.
 
Dad ran a 66 when I was a kid it was a PTO version with a bin. He pulled it with a 1950 JD G. We did oats, wheat and barley. You wanted to let the combine wind down before you pulled alongside or you would get a good dusting. My grandfather ran a 60 bagger with a power unit, during the war. He did a lot of custom work as it was one of the first machines in the area. He pulled it with an early JD B. He used to joke it was double B powered (AC B power unit). Does anybody remember laying in the straw rack changing cylinder bars.
 
My Dad’s uncle had one. I remember in 1969 the local AC dealer had two of them all painted up and for sale. What I liked about them was the straw would make piles that rabbits loved to nest in.

I do on a 90 that I had. Cylinder really took a beating
 
'Scuse me fellas, but I have just one question: You brag up your auxiliary "motor"[sic] as being able to switch from one machine to another, and that's fine, but just precisely how would a guy go about using it on both his forage harvester and his blower? :unsure:
