Old Gleaner combines--worth messing with?

One of my neighbors offered me an old gas powered Gleaner combine with corn and small grain head for free. I'm not sure what model it is, but it has a white cab and I'm guessing it is probably an early '70s model. He hasn't used it in quite a few years (he upgraded to a newer diesel). It has been sitting outside for quite a while, so it will need more than a simple oil change and some new gas. I haven't been able to really give it a close inspection. Are these worth messing with?

I don't have a combine but was toying with using it to harvest my own oats.

GRAB IT. I just paid $425 for an E model in ok shape. The E has the 226ci engind and can go in a WC or WD tractor.

still running a gleaner G along side the 9660 jd when needed. great machine but hard on gas. traded up from an A2 that was a good machine too.we rebored the engine from the A2 and put it in a d19. maby you could buy a tractor with a bad engine and repower it?

White cab should make it 1970 or newer- older ones had the gray fiberglass cabs, around 1968 and on. Anything free is more than a bargain- likely has plenty of life in it yet. How do some people get so lucky? My first Gleaner was a used white cab K of that era- paid 12 grand for it with two heads and a bean bar.

For that price I would jump on it. Shoot if nothing else theres a couple 1000LBS of scrap iron in it plus the engine may well still be good and fixable. I know if some one offered it to me I would jump on it yesterday.

Assuming he doesn"t change his mind, I"ll have to wait until the weather warms up a bit before I try to bring her home.

You might be surpriced by the engine. All it may take is a tune up a battery and some good gas it, and it might just fire up and run. BTDT on a few tractors and have had good luck over the years with them. One thing I would do is if you can go fill the cylinders with tranny fluid and then when you get the time to pull it home part of the battle of getting it running will be done

i agree with old, soak the cylinders up good, get her to roll over. then i would pull the carb off, clean it up, maybe put an oh kit in it. grab a 6 gallon outboard motor gas tank, hook up the hose to the carb and fire her up. that way if the fuel tank is gooey, you can drive the little girl home on the 6 gal tank.
