Didn't know that any reapers were manufactured after McCormick and Deering combined. My grandfather purchased a new McCormick 8 foot bull wheel drive grain binder in the early 1900's. It was much like the latest binders that were made by McCormick Deering nearly 50 years later.

Is it a Reaper or grain binder? I have some picts of a Deering reaper that I sold to a neighbor in 2004. What are you trying to find out? -paint colors??? or parts???

I was in error. My son informs me that indeed McCormick Deering did manufacture reapers. I guess there was a period that they made reapers and binders and grain binders concurrently.
