After a 16 hour 700 mile tripe from the east slope of Colorado over to the West slope I am now the proud owner of this 570 as well as a uni baler. This machine originally came from the Loveland, CO area was hauled over to the Delta, CO area in the 80's and last used 20 years ago to cut fescue seed. The machine is loose and pretty much complete. It does have some rust where water came in contact with grass heads but it shouldn't be a terrible repair.

Would be interested in it if not
Thanks

WOW! That is the first picture of one I have ever seen! Never even knew they were made these as the only ones were the UNI combine and pickers. This is the first combine I've seen with power adjust wheels on it too. Cant wait to see what she looks like when you get her all fixed up. Post lots of pictures please! Bandit
 
Lance,congrats on your purchase of your very rare 570 MM Customatic combine....Not very many have survived....It would surprise me if a dozen of them were left..I do have original sales literature for them..

The top picture is the 570 that Clint Youse got in NW Missouri..The bottom 2 pictures are of a 570 MM on a farm 150 miles from me over in Kansas..Theres lots of MM stuff on this place as they used to be MM dealers...None of it was for sale in 2009 when I took those pictures.

I'm a happy guy to get this bought. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to purchase one as this is the first one I have seen in person. I actually called about a MM manure spreader and asked if he had any other MM equipment.

By chance did you grab the serial number off of the one in Kansas or have their contact information?
 
Lance,I didnt get the 570's serial number..The man that owns them cant hear or talk but was glad to show me around..His mother was real old in 2009 so I dont know if shes still around...I can email you the location if you want..Theres 4-5 MM Unis there..

Helped the neighbor in wheat harvest when I was about 15. He had 2 machines that looked like the one in your pictures. Don't remember the model No. but the color is right. They had a button we were suppose to push every time we dumped that greased the machine. Really liked that feature. The farm was east of Ft. Collins CO, not to far from Loveland. Was the 570 the only one with that color scheme or were there other sizes?
