A different take on this conversation. Probably going to take some doing to find but maybe a JD 6601. The 6601 was a pull type combine made from the core components of a 6600 self- propelled combine. We are talking at least an 85 to 90 pto horsepower tractor without getting into mud or steep hills. Have not paid attention as of late but used to see them advertised for a couple thousand in fairly decent condition. I wish I still had the old literature but I believe you could outfit it with a cutting platform, pick-up, or corn head. The one thing I really like is the being the brother to the 6600 means parts are available to a much better degree than the older 6, 12, 30 series. Of course this has to fit what you are doing. If this is for show and themed to a two cylinder or early New Generation tractor then I would see where you might want to go to a model 30 to match in terms of age and horsepower. I like the idea of the 6601 if you could do it because it might be a little more rare at this point in time and if you could outfit it with say a 343 cornhead might turn some heads at a show. Just wanted to put something different out for consideration. They would have been made from 1970 to 1978 approximately. Good Luck.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
