Surprised to spot a McCormick 80 combine down in the dirt this a.m. but under cover. I don't know combines but have always thought they look cool, neat, etc. This unit has a 'deep' pickup apparatus ahead of the auger. The friend I was with (we had talked about combines last fall) thought the McCormicks had canvas until the model 82 but obviously not. He didn't have much interest in the 80 as he was there to look at an AC square baler. He stated to the fellow that took us out to look at the baler, referring to me, "he's into McCormick stuff!" Am I out of my mind to be lookin' at this 80? I've got NO inside storage space (they take a big chunk out of a storage area) and NO acres to combine but the buildings are going to be demolished and the new owner wants the implements gone. I shudder to ask this oft asked ? but, what is it worth? It is not known when it was last used. Miles down the road I got to pondering the combine..."you don't see many around" he said. He kept on..."are you gonna get that combine? If the new property owner just calls a scrapper it will be gone." More miles down the road and I stated "Should I just put it out of my mind?" We shook our heads and laughed. Does anyone own an 80 that would be willing to measure the outside tire dimension for transport...my friend will probably be renting a trailer so...
