Bought, then abandoned then found and still mine... a lon...

I bought and paid for a combine in 2008 on a whim and then went through some life events. I never got it picked up and had no place to take it. I thought the thing was long gone. I went on a drive the other day and thought Id stop at the man's place to see what ever happened to the combine. Well its still there! I told him the story and we had lost each other's phone numbers. I told him I didint expect him to hold it and wasnt mad if he resold it as abandoned. Well, its still mine and Im more than welcome to get it. It runs! When the snow melts I plan on roading it to my place- about 80 miles. Plan on taking it to tractor rides and show events locally. Im so excited to get it finally! Have my project for the summer!

Looks like a nice square back 95. I'm guess it spent a good part of it's lfe indoor storage judging by the paint. That Sund pickup makes me wonder if it is in Sask.? Got one just like it sitting in the bush here. Plus an older round back.

Yep, close, its in western ND. last winter was its first outside. I think it will wax out really well and make a good show piece. Absolutely nobody brings one around here.

I have always liked old combines and watch this forum daily. Kinda thought it was a lost cause but excited to get my hobby piece home.

It will be awhile, its in a big snowbank and sitting in about 10" of water (will drain when snowbank melts)
 
I thought there might be an oil derrick in the background. The Sun pickup looks like the one I had on a 715 and M gleaner.
 
Yep,sounds like some of the fine customers I have done business with in my lifetime Chris,as the deal was done with a handshake, and that was gospel.
