Thanks for your interest earthmasterk; I am in Melba, Idaho. I am new to this discussion site and now realize that this item of discussion should be under "implements" rather than here; sorry. Also in walking around the site there is already a bunch of stuff on this combine including photos. I am very impressed. In the way of discussion,I purchased this thing at auction on a whim (have a place to store it, but don't know what I'll do with it). But old stuff is neat and I will do something with it. It didn't take long to realize that I had also purchased a "challenge" since it had 4 flat tires and needed to be moved through the Boise/Meridian area. The tires were no problem; just money at the tire store. There was a fear that all wheel bearings were gone when each of the hubs appeared to have severe slop. Closer inspection of a hub showed bronze sleeve bearings in good shape. (Please put up with me, I'm a collector not an old farmer). Pulling this thing home is the way to do it, but one must realize that it must be nearly 12 feet wide. When pulled center-on a vehicle, there is a lot of overhang to the left, and one must use caution. Use plenty of red flags and a triangle slow vehicle sign. I would recommend ginning up a hitch to the extreme right of the tow vehicle. Anyhow I have moved this thing part of the way home and have it staged at my sister's house. One more stupid question; is there separate serial for the combine different than the little power unit? Thanks, Bud Dawson
