Hauling another Massey Harris combine home today.

I purchased this MH 90 combine today here in Western Kansas. I hauled it home header in all today. I'm thinking my wife believes I need a intervention. A few photo's for you guys to look at.

Hey Masseypride,How you ever gonna have time to finish that Claas if you keep hauling them old Masseys home? Just kidding,Thats a nice looking older combine.You never see any Masseys any older than the 300 series around us.Thats a nice looking hauling rig too,I've always wanted to find me an older small combine with a 10' head that I could throw on a trailer and move easily to cut the ends around soybean fields before we move in with the row crop heads.
 
Nice find....Good looking old 90...Does it run?


Earlier this year a real nice one owner 80 Massey was probably junked near me..I never had a chance as the heirs didnt bother to have a farm sale...The fools lumped everything off to one buyer for 10K including a nice one owner 4000 hour 1206 IH which alone was worth over 10K..
 
Nice find.. Know of a 92 or 72 in a shed near here.....hasn't seen direct sunlight since the '70s....can be bought...SW Ontario :)
 
Guys,

It really is a MH92 combine not a MH90. I drove it on and off the trailer. We had to adjust the thresher drive belt so the machine would not run while moving it around. Yes, its hard to find time to work on the Claas but I will finish it, but you have to buy it when I'm done with it. This machine is in better shape than I thought going to get it. Tech 7 do you have any photo's

Case,

This one is a gasser Chrysler Industrial 265 Flat Head. The combine looks like has new cylinder bars and real nice concave. I will cut some milo here in a month or so.

Would it be possible to get more info on that shedded 92/72 in Ont. What's its condition. Might be interested.
 
Masseypride: BIL rents the farm where the combine resides, I will see if I can get nephew to get some pics but it might take some time. I know I would like to see this machine in a collection, Bob
 
Where did you find out about it? I would give anything to bring one home! I grew up west - it looks just like ours (but we had a super 92). I WILL bring one home to play with some day.
 
What was the differents between the 92's and the Super 92's. Had both on the harvest.
 
I don't recall all of it, but I know that the walkers were four inches wider. That difference is visible between the two from the back. There was one other thing I thought. I spent many hours of my youth laying on those walkers working on that machine. I don't care how many old chenille throw rugs you lay on them they still hurt!

Interestingly, they said that the super was a higher capacity machine due to the new width, but they didn't make the cylinder any wider. They both had the 265 Chrysler with a Perkins diesel as an option. I never once remember slugging one up tight, so I'm not sure that walker capacity was an issue to start with.

That 265 makes beautiful music in a heavy crop. Da*n fine machines.
 
Guys,

I found in on NEX-TECH Classified its a similar to Craig's list. There is a real nice Versatile Combine on the same web site. The trailer is 102" wide. It really is nerve racking driving the machines up and down on this trailer. Depending on the tires that are on the combines. You usually have between two and five inches of tire on the trailer when loading. You need a good spotter to make sure you don't slip off. I have a left over mid 70's Demco combine trailer that I want to convert over to carry these older combines. I just don't have the time to mess with it right know. I'm just trying to save as many of these Massey Harris combine that I can before they all get scrapped out. I own a MH21, MH21A, (2)MH27, MH92, MF Super 92, MF 410. This being the first machine I have bought in running condition. All of the others are either waiting for parts or waiting on me to reassemble the motors.

I absolutely agree about the sound. Had a Super 27 with that 265 and a 3 inch stack years ago. Nothing purrs any better.
 
Dad farmed with a 92 for many years and then bought a Super 92. The Super had an extra straw walker and a wider beater. The 92 would start to bring straw back around the feeder house when in heavy windrows where the Super would keep it moving through. We traded the Super 10 years ago on a tractor and hauled it the same way but had to make extensions on one side.
