JD pull type combine (with pics)

Ralph Bauer · Feb 22, 2012

Just following up on a couple combine leads I got.... (thanks, pea grower). Had the pics for a couple weeks, just no time to post. Here's the first one, I think the engine is gone. Steering wheel reminds me of a boat...Also, someone used the (front) grain tank and fuel tank(?) for shotgun practice ...Anyone has an idea what model it might be? Couldn't find a serial or model number....

I think that made a #1 that was built like that problably others. Great grandpa had one like that dad still had the grain tank from it that he built a stand for. Dad said it had a Hercules engine and I imagine dad scrapped the thing long before my time. It was replaced by a new Super 27 Great grandpa bought still have the books for it.

Might be a No. 17 John Deere. Here's a picture from my 1942 full-line JD catalog.

Its amazing how well that stuff holds up in the west. If something that age were left out that long here in the east, you would be lucky to find any more than the heaviest iron parts.

Look on the frame above were the front wheel should be. The serial number is stamped in the frame. The first number of there serial number is also the model number. It looks like it mayebe a #5 or a #7. They are some much a like though its hard to tell by the picture.

If you want to restore this i know were one for parts is in oklahoma. Its in tough shape but it has alot of parts you would need. If you get me the serial number i can also look up the year it was made. A buddy of mine has parts catlouges for some of these old combines with serial numbers.

Is that sitting by Eldorado ?

WyoDave · Feb 23, 2012

It looks a lot like my 5A. Any chance there is a header there? My combine is pretty complete, but I need some header parts.

Dave:
I may be able to help with header parts. There is a remnant of one on m farm in Kansas. I'd be glad to check the next time I go down there.
E-mail is open.

WyoDave · Feb 23, 2012

Keep your eyes open for this little fella, because it's probably my biggest concern.

It's the gearbox that is used to change the power direction to drive the reel. Most everything else is fixable, but this casting is broke and part of it missing. I e-mailed you to.
Thanks

That should be there. I'll check the next time I go down there but I don't know when that will be.

430WLPG · Feb 23, 2012

Does it have any casting # I have some old nos combine parts, you never know

WyoDave · Feb 23, 2012

No rush. I tried e-mailing you, but it says "server error"...

WyoDave · Feb 23, 2012

It might. I'll check it tomorrow.

I have a couple of these JD combines here with engines still on them and the front wheel assembly. No headers though. I'd sell you the Herc engines and parts you need or the whole combine. I bought them years ago for the galvanized sheet iron for another project I had.

Ralph Bauer · Feb 23, 2012

..... smile.....!!!! Excellent guess!

Ralph Bauer · Feb 23, 2012

Gosh, very tempting offer, but my money printing press is wearing out, and it looks like it is HEAVY and won't fit on regular trailer...transporting will be a challenge....even if it is only about 40+ miles from my place! And I "really" have not done any inquiry as to if it for sale....hint, hint.

430WLPG · Feb 24, 2012

There was an auction there 15-16 years ago and the wheel and header were there then, and there was a few old tractors there to and none of them were for sale at the auction, and all the other old stuff disappeared except for that much of the combine and then the tractors showed up at Sw Metal and I bought one of them

Ralph Bauer · Feb 24, 2012

There is a lot (6-9 pieces) of today's farm equipment parked around it and itlooks like it is being still used.
BTW, do these pics look familiar? I was focusing in on the JDs (45/55/95???), but there is quite a bit other stuff, including several old tractors, at least one of them is a MM, around it..S of Gould...

430WLPG · Feb 25, 2012

Yes, I know where those are, had forgot though

jddriver · Feb 26, 2012

so you where there illegally you know trespassing

Ralph Bauer · Feb 26, 2012

Not really, no fence, no signs, right next to the right-a-way( literally a few yards), and good camera (wind though didn't help). Can't help it if my big feet hung over onto the (private) land on occasion though....LOL
Now, having said that, I would never walk deep into/onto someone's property or climb fences without getting permission first. And even then, I always park my vehicle next to the gate and highly visible, many times with a note on the dash who I am, what I am doing and who gave me permission, with cell number.
