Minneapolis Moline 4292

Looking for any information on these machines, found one today there was no answer at the door but it's close enough I'm going to pursue it.

I have two neighbors that ran those. Actually one was the Oliver 5542 but same combine. 42" cylinder and I know the Oliver had the big V-8. Talking to both guys that ran them, they were a mediocre combine on their best day.
 
Not 100% sure but that would be my guess. It was a Chrysler and according to my brochure it was 107 hp. The only other option was a gas 93 hp straight six. No diesel option.
 
I just remember that my landlord has a 4292. He farms over 30 miles away so I kind of forgot about it. He pulled it out of a shed so it probably could cut if a few issues were fixed up. I saw it a couple of years ago.
 
I'm pretty sure the 4292 was the MM version of the Oliver 431. Not sure what the Cockshutt version was. This is my 431 cutting wheat, it does a very good job of threshing and cleaning. The unload auger is kind of a pain to see and judge when pulling up to a truck.

MM 4292 made in Brantford by Cockshutt. Cockshutt made Oliver 431 with Chrysler 265 six cylinder motor. Was replaced with 542 and later with 5542. All had 42 inch cylinder. Made in 1962 to about 66.
 
the 4292 was the mm version of a 5542 cockshutt. earlier versions were the 431 and 542. 431 was only built with a 6 cylinder chysler. 542 and early 5542s had a 107 horsepower 318 opition later 5542s had only a 90 horse 318. 5542s were made as late as 84 and were still being sold as late as 86 in canada. i have one of each in the yard here. i only use the 5542. they were very popular in western canada. i can thing of 10 with in 10 miles of me.
 
Here's the brochure for the 4290 which was virtually identical to the 4292 with the possible exception the 4290 only shows the 6-cyl Chrysler motor.
