The 4296 was sold new in 1968 in New Iberia Louisiana. It was traded in to a dealer in Stuttgart Arkansas in 1974. The second owner put the Mud Hog axle on in 1976. I purchased the combine from the second owner in 2009.
 
My dad in 1967. Towner County, North Dakota. Durum wheat. 1948 JD 55. No folding unloading auger (or spout which I had added later), no hydraulic ground speed control or grain tank leveling auger. Gas tank was still on the left rear of the machine. Innes NW Special windrow pickup. There had been a strong wind that scattered the windrows and it was necessary to feed the main windrow in as far to the left as possible to get as much as possible of the scattered stuff. That field was really flat. Photo taken with my old Argus C3 35 mm camera.

Merry Christmas to all you fellow YT'ers. Ron

I came home from the service in the fall of 66. My brother and I helped a neighbor combine oats. My brother drove the neighbors 45 JD and I drove his 55 JD. All was good until we got to racing and slugged both combines. The neighbor would be called a BTO today because back then he was the only farmer with 2 self-propelled combines. Your picture brought back the memory.
 
My dad's uncle was running 3 Massey Harris 90s back in the day. Guess they were super BTOs. They traded all three of them in for a JD 105 in 1966.
 
Great picture Ron, looks like a good crop too. Bet he was a happy man with the crop. Thanks for posting.
