Late 60s Deere combine being shipped

Jeff in ND · May 23, 2022

This was posted on a bookface page for local history in the general area I grew up.

A square back open station Deere on a truck. I can't make out what model number on the tank.

Interesting there appears to be some other rim/tire on there for shipping compared to the normal one.

Also love that cab over Ford flatbed truck.

Neat pic, thanks for posting as I have a 95 and a 105. Wonder if it was being shipped from a branch house? I doubt it is going to a customer
the way the grain head is unassembled (or maybe it is a pickup head?).You would need more equipment to unload than the average farmer would
have had. Tom

Thats How it was done back in the day... looks like steering tire bolted to drive axle ? John Deere 40

Our dealership ran a tilt cab Ford tilt bed truck and also a gas powered tilt cab single axle semi tractor which I remember riding up behind the
seat in early 60's

The bin looks too wide to be a 40 to me. That wheel and tire does, however, look like what the 42 pull-type rode on.

I believe that is a 95, possibly a 55. There's a letter following the numbers... could it be a 95R, and tracks are to go in place of the tires? Could also be a 95EB, but appears to be one letter to me, and
not 2.

There is a lot of assembly to be done- note no unload auger, no ladder, no reel on platform, etc.

Late model for sure with that quick tach feeder house on it. Every square inch of that truck deck was used, very impressive. I don't think I have ever seen a four headlight cab over ford truck, the ones that
use to be around here were all single headlights.

My dad worked for the John Deere dealer when those combines were new. They sold a customer a new 55 combine. The two bros that owned the dealership loaded the
combine on their truck. They tried to drive under the railroad underpass and the cab did clear.

Notice that is not a true quick tach feeder house. See how the face of it kicks in at the bottom. Also a quick tach was driven by a chain not a belt.

Tom, I vote for 95R, looks like our tank width and side shield and the auger spout, like your 95.
That could be an early quick tach throat, that they tried Belt drive?

We're in wheat now. 48-52 bu......

Elmer broke down with a reel tube wore into at the support collar. Took four hours to get back running. GG
