In the early 1960's Leon Claeys in Belgium launched a range of combines. They were purchased by New Holland and marketed under the CLAYSON name from 1966 onwards

1966 model M133 made with 10ft & 12ft headers.

The M135 was upgraded model with larger diameter threshing drum & increased size grain tank, 12ft & 14ft headers

The M140 was much larger model with 14ft & 18ft headers,

This M133 is owned by a collector and used for shows & working day
 
nice shots,, would you mind giving us some more data on them,, bin size,cylinder width, engine ect. also the ones like this I have seen before have no cabs did they have a cab, A/C htr available ? thanks again for posting I really like seeing the different machines used around the world, cnt
 
Very interesting. This Clayson looks more similar to the New Holland than the "Super" Gleaner A looked to the domestic version.
I worked at a Gleaner dealer through most of the 70's, and into the mid 80's, or until about the time AC died. We were also a NH, NI, Brillion, and many short line dealer. I'll never know why, but we had a few of these NH's out. Mostly 975's. After working on the straight-forward Gleaner, oh how I hated to work on these. This was my first exposure to metric fasteners. So first of all I never had the right tools. And the Europeans engineered everything differently than we did! Even went to NH service school on them. (Not that big of a trip for us here) I still remember the parts in "Clayson" packaging. Ours were all Ford gas engines. If I recall correctly, by the time I went to school, they had switched from red and yellow to all yellow. I know they had some there with "Dorset" diesels. Nice sounding engine.
 
Bob, so the 975 was a import machine? well learn some thing new every day, there was two of them around here at one time but I never got close enough to look them over they were the red/yellow ones must have been in the late 60's some time cnt
 
Sure was. Don't know what magic was done with money so that they could be made over there, shipped over here, and sold? They worked OK, but I'd say between us who fixes things, you did well to keep your distance!
 
My old 985 (300 cid gas, red/yellow, I think a '70 model) and the 1400 I have now (380 Dorset diesel, all yellow, '77 model) were both made in (I think) Belgium.
 
Hi David, used to sell these combines in the late 1960s, also been to the Clayson factory in Belgum. A friend of mine has a 1962 Cleys M103 combine we get out for working days. Good well made machine but very dusty. MJ
