Case Nutty 1660

Well-known Member
this pic is interesting to me not just because of the amount of machines on this barge but from what I see they were all bagging machines

Looks like F2 galvies. That was the first combine we had on the farm. Wisconsin powered, and pulled it with the old L and later with an SC. We got an A6 after that, and then a 77, and then the 600SP.

That is a neat picture Case Nutty. Do you think all of these were going to one particular farmer or area being all bagging machines?

Loren I have never seen a F2 as they were too small for our area, what did you think of the F2? how about some stories?
 
my guess is they were going to South America as I know they used mostly "baggers" even later on with the SP models but again I am just guessing
 
In the early 1950s, quite a few Case combines (we call them headers) were shipped to Australia. They were all for bagged wheat. An uncle owned one.

They competed against the locally manufactured McKay and Shearer machines.

By the late 1950s we switched to a bulk grain handling system and the bags disappeared. The bag system was very hard work.
 
I have a model f and what is displayed is to big for the model f combine. My guss is they are model a combins.
 
I don't know nothing about combines, they never seem to help much with tobacco . I do like the pictures and read about them. I have a question. What was the last year that case made a pull type combine?
 
Nice pics! I have two A6's that i saved from the crusher. one is in very nice shape. Hope to have it going this summer!
 
tom , i will tell about pops F 2,, He Bought the used Sc and newF 2 when my sister was born in 1951,,he custom harvested to pay for it,,i think it was 6 ft cut ,i recall it had wood pullys to run the reel, nything weedy with the sc in 1st gear,, in clean oats and barley 2nd gear,,dad liked to tell about being in the river bottom , combining heat when he noticed a case dc tractor that had his uncle combineng across the ohio in ky ,, dad run quite a few acres thru that F2,.in thick grain e would run in 1st .i recall taking dinner to dad with mom , only to learn he was well fed by the good folx there and had movedon to the next farm and planned to run til the dew fell...the next day mom and i would take gas to him...often dad would unload the grain on floor at home nd shovel it into the ood grain ,,claimed it was easier then monkeying with the auger .there was a slide gate on the bin thet could work to sack from the floor..
 
Here's a photo of a galvanized A6. The tractor is a G JD and the truck is a 29 Chevy. Photo was taken in the early 50's

Neighbor had one just like that in his trees when I was about 14, and it was galvanized. We took the PTO drive off it, and put it on our newer A6. The 800 had a slow enough low so it worked great. They are both gone now.
