Ever own a Model 76 McCormick Combine?

It's been sitting for a long time, but looks pretty restorable to me without too much work. What do you think?

Whats the sieve look like, are their a lot of fins missing, My dad bought a new No.64 combine,in the summer of 53,It wasn't trouble free, That's the combine that that followed the 64, i believe, in fact i have got a book for a 76! You know it doesn't have straw walkers, just a straw rack,If you want a old combine to play with, i would suggest a 80 or 82, their still around, a much better machine,and there available in PTO drive. In my opinion their just to wide of a cylinder, and to wide a back end, it blows the grain over so easy !

My uncle had a 76 and we had a 64. Fairly close to the same machine with a few changes like the 76 has a one foot wider cut and unloading auger placement. If you knew how to set the machine, they did and excellent job. Not much for capacity though. especially when the grain was down. My dad had an M&W hand clutch installed on the Farmall M to help keep it from plugging. Later he bought an 880 Oliver. That worked well in the downed spots. Low gear with the power booster was slow enough.

It looked pretty good on the interior. Looked like a lot of the interior parts are galvanized. i should have taken a photo.

It's in Wytheville, Virginia. It's sitting on a vacant lot that was sold recently. I'm not really interested in buying it unless the owner is going to scrap it. I haven't been able to catch anyone there. I need to research the new property owner's name. Check out the old Farmall F-30 that is parked beside it. I posted photos on the Farmall Discussion Forum.
