I got my Heritage Iron magazine today and saw that they had a Gleaner combine parade in Hesston,KS on Aug 17th...This was to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Gleaner...

Somehow I never heard about this parade because I would have sure went to it..Its only a little over 3 hours out there..Looks like there were several old AC tractors there..

Anyways heres a link to some nice pictures of it..The first C2 Gleaner was there..The Gleaner dealer at Kalvesta,KS hauled in an early A Gleaner on a 58 Chevy truck.
Google and you can find more pictures and even a video..

Nice to hear of my old stomping grounds. The farm was half way between Nickerson and Buhler. Mikes is an excellent place to get parts and is a heck of a guy. He also has many salvage tractors. He got me a great deal on a Char Lynn steering motor for my M.
 
Dad had one of those pull type combines with a Model "C" Ford engine. I rode in the hopper leveling the grain when I was a kid.

Looking at the pictures, I had a thought: "If the only combines being sold now are really big ones, what are small farmers going to use in the future?"
 
Wonder Blaine if "Roger-Kansas" was there,he usually takes good pictures too
Great post Blaine
 
Ande,I'm thinking that Roger might have been there..He hauls combines for Schmidt and Sons of Winfield and Mt Hope,Kansas...These dealers have sold lots of Gleaners..
 
happy to know that such an event occurred,, wisht , I woulda gone there too ,,, ind state fair has a early Baldwin combine wrapped around a fordson ,, and I got to see it dry run ,, really neat
 
Haven't you heard there are no "small farmers" any more just "Hobby farmers" LOL I heard rumors that John Deere was going to offer a machine the size of the old 9500. as I said rumor or wishful thinking not known. My answer to your question is we will keep repairing the old ones or hire it done.
