Been awhile since I checked in here.

Recovering from surgery and bored to death. So this is how I'm killing time.
My Oliver 431 harvesting wheat for the K&O Steam & Gas Engine club. About 2008 / 2010.

Good to see you back on YT. I remember your posts showing your 431 Oliver (and nice old Ford truck). My dad and I had a couple 431 Cockshutts, his was a 1962 model while I had a '64. Good, simple combines - I think there was only about 5 grease zerks on the machine.
 
Remember 3 neighbors used Oliver combines in the 1950's. Wife's cousin also used them. The last one he had was a White which he replaced with a JD 6620 in the 1980's. Said he liked the White but liked the JD better.
 
Nice pics ... Roger I Hope You are getting well . I am
sorta under weather myself with stomach flu , and a
bad bout of nnalert... Things are not the same here as
it used to be ,Lot of guys are gone .. You might post
these pictures on Tractor talk to stimulate
conversation . BTW, the 1st self propelled combine i
saw was a OLIVER , I was not even in 1st grade .It was
big , but small compared to your combine . I recall we
raised the electric lines to bring it up the barn lane
to get to the wheat field
 
(quoted from post at 03:31:19 03/14/22) What was the number of it when it was a Cockshute combine,was it a 413 or 421??

The Cockshutt version was also called the 431. There was a Minneapolis-Moline version but it was named 4290 and was painted yellow and brown.
 
The 431 WAS originally designed by Cockshutt. They put
it on the market same year they were taken over by
White. It was to replace the SP 429.
