Some old combine pictures that I've recently came up with....The SP-12 Case one says taken in 1958...Notice the plane flying over the Massey's.....I had to throw in the picture of the two 30-60 Hart Parr tractors plowing..

We had a G2 MM combine like that. My uncle had an old Chevy truck like that. It was common to take the doors off of those old trucks; must have been to keep the cab cooler. My uncle's old truck was missing the cloth top on the cab so you sat in the hot sun anyway.

Thanks for posting the pics. You sure that's a 12? Almost looks like a SP 9 because of the shorter hood.

I used a SP 12 for one season in beans. It had a 'DC" engine with the regular air cleaner. The combine in the pic has what looks like a" S C" air cleaner. Any other ideas on this ?
I do know that SP!12 was a nitemare to operate. Many controls and such seemed very much backwards and unhandy to use. It was a learning expierence! clint

Here's our G2 with a Hercules engine. The G3 had a lot more engine power with a "Z" tractor engine than the G2. MM combines in those days were built like a tank.

Guys,it could very easily be a SP-9 which are few and far between today..

It is a SP-12 as you can see the hand covers on the pan on the DC Case engine.....the 12 had a DC engine.

Might be a late SP-12 or a 120 model. I have a 120 in the yard that belongs to a friend and has the same cleaner as the photo.

I keep coming back and looking at these pictures. They fascinate me. I can't imagine what my grandfather would think of the combine I use to harvest. It's just an old 9500, but it's like another planet compared to any of those machines.

I agree Steve a SP_12, when you see them both you can see the SP-9 has a much shorter straw hood and rack than a SP-12, here is a SP-9 I hauled out of MT for a friend

Great pictures thanks. Here farmers could remove the doors and not have to license the trucks if used for hauling farm products. We had an old Chevy that we ran between farms hauling water, no license or insurance. Water for livestock, for the sprayer, fire fighting, hauling fruit, livestock. Not for going to town. I was able to do this before I was old enough to get a license at 14. I drove the old '47 Chevy 4100 to shear sheep around the community in 1969-'70. I would even haul feed to and from Coop, seed, fertilizer, fuel and farm equipment....James

That reminded me. When I was 14 my parents made me take Drivers Ed. I had to leave every day about 15 minutes early to drive trucks to the elevator (wheat harvest). No one even blinked at a 14 year old rolling into the Co-op in Macksville. That was also when the elevator would stay open late. Now they slam the gate at 5:00 no matter who you are.

Thats a decent looking old SP-9..
