Checked on my 460

Thought I should check on a combine I bought a while ago, and still haven't gotten it home. But its getting time. I'm wondering if a rim and tire off a "A6" could be a spare?

Ande,

Is that in North Dakota? The straw chopper belt looks a little light for the job. Pickup is probably not a Melroe. Dad had an Innes Northwest Special pickup on a JD 55.

Never knew Case made such a machine. What years were these around?
 
Looks like a good catch ,Dan. I have a sibling to that one, a 460 set up for edible beans with a bucket elevator, spike tooth cylinder and all bristle brush augers. Looks like a Sund pickup. That is what we use in the edible beans to minimize any stones getting to the cylinder and to eliminate as much dirt as possible. I also have the original Case draper pickup with brand new canvases on it. They were a very smooth running machine. Enjoy !
 
Yes, Ron, its about 20 miles from the farm. It has a Innes chopper, Sund pickup, from Newburg, Lloyd Sund made them. My Dad sold this "460" new.
 
That Sund pickup sure will pick up short barley. One dry year our barley was only 5-6" tall in places. We bought Sund pickups for our 2 self propelled Co-op combines and paid for them with the heads we could pick up off the ground. Some places all you could see were heads on the ground, no swath.
 
Looks to be in pretty good shape Dan. It would be great to see it running again. I've never seen one of those pull type combines in this area, possibly because all the Case dealers were at the end of the line here in NE WI in the mid-late 60's.
 
Yes Bradley, they were a smooth running machine, and overlooked, but they could so a lot of work.
 
Oh it has some rust, its not perfect, but with some care and repair, she could do what it was design for, and like Bradley said have some fun.
My Dad sold this new to a customer, and my understanding he sold this customer a "700" and traded it back in, turned around sold it to this customer I bought it from.
 
Mu neighbor Loren has one like that, that little bit of rust om that front auger isn't that bad, i took my two grinders, with wire brush's on them, buffed it and when i threshed with it, at his s combine show, that auger cleaned right up,he too was impressed,he oiled it and put the machine inside, still thanks me, every time he see's me. But i don't think the A-6 combine tire will work, in fact i know it's smaller, but maybe the bolt pattern is the same. Loren's doesn't have a straw chopper on his, just a spreader. Loren's dad had bought a new one like it.
 
@FastFarmall, Yes I realize its a smaller tire,(A6) but for a spare it would work I think, but not sure of the bolt pattern
 
Dan great to hear you have plans to make it a working machine again. I have never seen one in this part of the country, never knew CASE made them. Steve's was the first I had seen. Looking forward to see future progress, Rod.
 
So you got the 12 foot cut,on your 400,case collector? My neighbor Loren, only got the 10 foot,but that was big enough the year i run it, 2016, we had up to 99 bushel wheat that year! His made about 75 !!
 
Rod, I doubt I will restore this one, going to sell as I don't have room to store. It sure is a cute little thing
