I was recently going thru some old papers and found a neat custom combining story..It was from the June 7,1970 Kansas City Star newspaper...It was about the Gene Watson family from Wayside,KS...
In 1969 they purchased (7) new 105 John Deere combines (no cabs) with 20 ft headers..They also had 7 grain trucks,2 pickups,3 travel trailers,and the family car..Their total investment was some over $200,000..That wouldnt go very far today..
At age 44 this was Genes 6th season of custom combining...His 5 sons ranging from age 12 thru 24 were part of the crew..Their run started at Temple,Texas and ended up at Bismarck,N Dakota..
One of the pictures in the story showed them putting a new engine on one of the 105's..They carried a spare with them..
