The little combine that did.... vid....

There were quite a few of the little 91s in this area at one point & one still pops up at an auction on occasion. Saw one last fall go to a younger guy that was going to clean it up & put it to work.

Enjoy the video!

Nice. The problem with reviving old combines is the availability of parts. My brother had a a pull type IH 915 shaded al the time. He pulled it out to use it and the internal pans were all rusted to the point he decided it was not worth the effort to repair it.

Ran one for my uncle when they were new , they were a little touchy on the road but worked well in the field . The umbrella helped but god did you get dirty . They made for easy square corners fast turns . And it took several long days to get the job done with a 10 foot head .

How did the C135 handle the combine? Seems like it would be easy to bog down in heavy or weedy conditions. I'd think they would have wanted to use something with a little more throw to the crank.

The parts machines & fence row units are usually pretty well worn down too.

Well with a 10 foot head and doing wheat and only cutting maybe 4-6 inches below the heads you were not feeding a bunch of trash thru .
