MF Super 35

[Anonymous-0]

I am restoring a 1963 MF Super 35 combine and I have a few questions. How widely used were these machines? What was their main use for? Were very many sold?

I don't know how many were sold, but my dad used one for several years as his only combine on a 400 acre corn and soybean farm. The combine was very reliable; Dad's main complaint was the small grain tank. We had a 222 corn head with our Super 35. The combine was still running well when he sold it in the late 60's.

There were several 35's sold new in my area and were mostly used on 160 acre farms or smaller.Quite a few were sold nationwide and quite a few have survived.

They harvested corn,beans,milo,oats,wheat,barley, etc.I have a 2 row corn head for one of mine.They were light and would walk on water.

Do you have any pictures for us?Super 35's are rarer than the regular 35's.

There has to be a small but profitable demand for those combines. Shame they ever stopped making them. Seems to me like one of these days it will be easier to get a small combine down these suburbanite roads than the huge john deeres now.Wish i had the time and trailor and money i'd like to have one. But they are so expensive to find and trying to use one on a small farm and worry about parts if it breaks down.If i cant rebuild my 72 allcrop might have to get a E or K gleaner. While ive been around the big stuff dont want to have to maintain one and enjoy this small equipment.

I will try to post pictures over the weekend. Combine looks rough due to being left out for the last four years, buthas very little rust out, mostly just surface rust. I live in South Louisiana and we did not have any combines like this around. Combine came from North Texas panhandle. Thanks for your information
