Several years ago I was on a tour in Israel and saw an old Allis Chalmers All Crop 60 or 66 up on the Golen Heights.It was parked in weeds beside the road and looked like it had not been used in some time. I have wondered how they managed to get it set up and I have wondered if there was a dealer. looked like no small grain crop in the immediate area. What would they do if they needed a bolt with our thread system.I could also imagine an Arab farmer with his robe wound up in the PTO shaft. I knew they were sold in New Zealand and in Australia But Israel?
 
Israel has been a long-time US ally and preferred trading partner. Having said that, most of the world went to the metric standard decades ago and finding a proper bolt would be a challenge. Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Great Britain were the last holdouts for the "English" system which we still use.
 
We can still get Imperial Whitworth etc.(and US NC and NF) bolts in New Zealand even though we went metric in the mid 1970s.
The Allis Chalmers 60 combines were very popular in New Zealand in the 1940s and 1950s
 
Ran an ALL CROP for many yrs and never did need a bolt. Best small grain combine they ever made very simple and easy to adjust. Lots of grease fittings. We had an Owatonna 10ft windrower for the oats then ran the pick-up on the combine when dry worked good. Best way to do oats no bugs oats is dry and super straw.
 
Isreal goverment bought a number of those
combines to use as camoflage over hardened
foxholes and bunkers!
It fooled you, and will also trick an insurgent or
invader. It time of crisis there are 50 cal nests
and anti tank weapons hidden inside those shells
of "old combines". Hidden cameras photograph all
passing traffic for anlyizing traffic patterns.
