55 combine article

[DeltaRed]

Was just reading from a Feb 2011"Green Magazine".There is a very informative story about 55 combine development and history.Also a story about turbocharging 'two bangers'.
pretty cool!I may have to suscribe....

Green Magazine lost its luster when JR Hobbs went over to 2 cylinder. His article he wrote on the 55 back in the 90s was a lot better.

I thought it was a pretty good article too. I'm glad they are doing the articles about the older combines. It seems like a lot of people have forgotten about or just don't care about the older harvesting equipment.

Got a month/year on his article?? I can get some copies from (cumbersome) resources, but need to know month/year. Thanks, Ralph.

I used to take GM for years but it seemed the quality (and the accuracy) of the writing really went down hill. It got so bad I had to stop it. I would find major mistakes in every issue. I couldn't see renewing. Mike

Mike,

My exact sentiments. But I only took it a year or two. I pointed out mistakes via letter (back then) and they never acknowledged.
Two Cylinder has acknowledged (in private correspondence) on their errors.

I"m not trying to be ornery, just that the readers need to know if there is an error!!

Was his article on the 55 done in Green Magazine?

I don't remember when he came to Two Cylinder, but he wrote some combine articles (with some errors) for them in 2005 issues. At least I think he wrote those articles.

i think JRs combine articles were in 1995 and 1996 green mag runs a index in their december issues hope this helps
his combine stories are worth the effort to find them
