That is a neat one!
I see that Case went from a left-handed product
engineer to a right handed one at some point!
Hope you are able to save that SP9! Please take

The combine in this picture is my SP-12. You can tell by the extra 3 feet of header on the right side. It has the DC motor.
I do have a SP-9 but its not running and sitting outside. I was hoping to purchase a better running machine or another parts donor.
The second machine in this picture is an 800 belonging to SDLars.
The third is my 1010 with the 318 Chrysler.
Thanks for posting the picture.

I had a good visit with Harry Kline one time years ago. I asked him why the platform on the right, the unload auger on the left?
He said the engineers at the Case combine factory designed an all purpose platform similar to MM and New Idea. A power unit with the operators platform, engine, drive train all mounted off to the side, leaving room for interchangeable harvest units to be mounted on the frame. This allowed Case to market an SP baler, combine and picker/sheller.
So, you have a self-propelled baler for hay season, swap out the baler for a combine, then after grain harvest, mount the corn picker.
He said the combine factory did a lot of stuff without Racine's knowledge. When they had it all perfected they showed it to the powers that be in Racine and they nixed the whole thing. They were told by Racine to mount the combine permanent to the frame and be done with it. No more changes. Sell it as is. So we ended up with the operators platform on the right side.
I've yet to hear of anyone else having been told this story to them by Harry but its the story he told me and I'm sticking to it.

I remember a guy in the community that had one of those goofy things. The fender on his old chevy truck was all beat to hell from him hitting it with the header. I can't imagine why a company would build a combine with the unloading auger basically in a blind spot for the operator. That combine set in the trees for years but got cut up about 10 years ago.
A nice picture of the three Cases cutting grain.
The second yr of my farming career, A guy loaned me a SP12 to cut my beans. That machine was an allnite long nitemare to run! The 12 ' head did not fit the row spacings.One frt. tire was on top of the ridge and that made the header cut uneven. The seat was not easy to get to or get away from. And like someone said , How were you to get over the truck or wagon with out hitting the very low hanging unload auger? I solved that by having the wife stand way out frt. and direct me to the truck. BTW, she was not happy doing that.
One way or another we got about 100 acres cut that fall. It was a memorable fall! clint
