I think this would be a great project, especially if it could include some pictures of the machines. There is not enough info out there on the history of these threshing machines and combines. While we talk about the tractors, there is little doubt that the advancements in harvesting machines allowed for farms with larger acreage which thuse required larger tractors. almost a chicken and the egg scenario. The harvesting machines and tractors were equally important for agriculture to progress. I for one would love to see a detailed book along this historical front. I just got a JD 55 out of Texas that I am restoring, and I can't wait to take it to a show when I am done. The reality is that most folks don't mess with the combines because they are large, have a ton of moving parts, take up a lot of room, and are difficult to take to shows. That's a shame, because I think there are a lot of folks who would enjoy seeing them. I remember when I was a kid, we liked playing on the combines a lot more than the tractors. Anyway, I am also looking for a couple of old threshing machines. Any help would be appreciated. How about those of you with pictures available of old combines posting them in the photo galleries here. Perhaps in the vintage photos? I think it would be great, and would love to see them.
