I remember Dad having a Massey 82 and later a Gleaner E,then an E III,3300 Deere and a 4400 Deere. I started out in 1989 with a Deere 45 without a cab when that machine was lost in a fire I got a second 45 and then a third one. When we mover I bought a sharp 95 then a 55 and a second 95 and 105. I parted the 55 out and the one 95 has water in the oil so for now just the 95 and 105. Tom
 
Model 66
1972 Model K Gleaner
Model F Gleaner
Model F2 Gleaner
Model M2 Gleaner

Hobby combines are a Model 66 with 2 row corn head, and a Model SP100.
 
Dad's list of ones he used. All masseys from 1972 to date.
1st 410, Lemon
410 diesel I think excellent machine
I can't remember the specific order from here
510 track combine owned with his brother ran in the 80's, did some custom work.
550 gear drive with right hand drive for six row
550 gear drive pinky (faded)
510 needs trashing clutch currently, any volunteers????
860 worked on it almost as much as we used it, currently needs front grain pan, any volunteers?
550 hydro with right hand drive
750 red cab hydro, transmission went out few days ago.
750 gray cab hydro, pretty decent machine.
Might have been one more 410 in there somewhere.
Plus about 40 others that he bought sold parts off of and then later scraped various brands but mostly masseys.
 
First remember my dad on a McCormick 22 PTO on a Farmall M
122C and a Farmall SMD

JD 96 square back on a 706

Great grandpa first was a 1928 Gleaner.
1940 something Minneapolis Moline.
Massey 410 gas
Massey 510 diesel
Gleaner LII

only five combines on the farm from 1928 till farm was rented in
2014.
 
Bought one Massey Ferguson 500 built in Scotland before the 510 was made in Brantford. I had to scrap it because too bad of a shape.

Bought one Fortshritt E512 with 12 ft header, then a second one with 15Ft header. The one with a 15Ft was rescued from the fence row. It had big performance issue the first year with lots of shoe losses. The former owner had parked it for that and blamed it on being from East Germany. I found out one day that the windmill deflector had fallen and was totally out of adjustment, creating big issues. After that, she worked great. Both of them got sold to Poland, where they still use older machines.

With that money, I bought a Massey 860, V8 Hydro. It is a fairly uncommon model here. She has the heavy duty 2300 series header but only in 16 feet. Owning a canadian Massey was a dream because I spent so much time playing with a Massey 760 toy made by Britains from the 70s to 90s.
The 860 is still in running condition altough it is time for a good overhaul during the winter. The paddle conveyor has given me some issue and I have add some paddle coming loose twice which create damages up to the chopper knifes.

I bought a French made Masssey Harris 890 which is very close to a Super27, definitively not as modern as a US made 90. I still have the electric table lift, no power steering, and I have the wooden bats reel with 10 feets. That one has a chrysler 6 motor that turns freely, but has a broken distributor cap that prevents it from running.
It would not take huge amounts of work to let it go but she needs to undergo a full restoration with all new bolts, paint, etc, before she goes back to the field.
The motor will be rebuilt, because it is a fairly cheap engine to overhaul, with all the suppliers for Dodge army trucks that we have in Europe.

Last one I got is a Massey Ferguson Super92 with a 10 ft pick up head as well. That one was made in Brantford. Mine is a Diesel, with the lovely sounding Perkins 6-305. That is for sure a nice, smooth engine that is quick to throttle up.
The cutterbar was made in France I believe, as it looks very similar to an 892 that was made in France in about that time. Only major modification made to it for French market is the cylider drive that is a variable speed belt drive instead of the chain and sprocket stuff of all others Super92, plus a Redekop chopper that is installed nicely. It is a nice machine and is close to go to the field, altough I want to restore it before that.
 
First combine I bought Was an ih 1460 way
back in the winter of 2016.

Have had opportunities to operate a deere
9500 and a gleaner n5. That gleaner was one
issue after another, but was a dairy
combine that was probably the neglected
piece of machinery on the farm for 15yrs.
Really liked the 9500 and the 1460 has
treated me well in our first year together.
