If anyone is interested to see them, I tried to post pictures in the combine forum, but I couldn't get the job done. However, I did have success in posting a picture in the Galleries section under Implement Photos.

As a kid , I was always told the Case combines did such a good job because they had such a long body and straw walkers. Basically self propelled Case Threshing machines. Made sense to me.

Hey Brad: Thanks!!! The 3rd 1 back looks to be pretty good size. The 2nd 1 back looks to be an "Edible Bean" Special. I've got a 1665 Special in the barn ready to go.

John, I just realized there's no description on the picture here like there is on the Galleries photo. The one in front is a 1950 SP-12 with a DC motor. The second machine is a late 50's 800 with a Case 700B Series motor. The third machine is a mid-60's 1010 with the Chrysler 318 V-8. With a 12 and two 14 foot heads for a 40 foot cut, it didn't take long for the wheat to disappear!

My dad used case 120 combines to do custom work in the late 50's & 60's. He ate lots of dust til he finally built a homeade cab with a car AC unit. He thought he had it made then. In July and August in Texas' you had to have AC or better off without cab. Both machines had been scrapped before I got interested in restoration.

Kirk, I grew up on a 1010 without a cab, but later on we also ran a 1970's 1660 with a cab and factory air. It could literally freeze you out of the cab if you turned it up and we never had trouble with it. Very dependable. I'd bet Case would have sold more cabs if they had offered that option earlier on.

Brad, Our homemade cab with AC unit above you would dump ice cold condensation down your back if you pulled back on the variable speed lever or hit the brakes. It would wake you up fast.

I ran my neighbors Versatile self-propelled swather with a cab and air. It dripped water on your head all day long like a Chinese water torture.

Here's the picture. There is a trick to posting it on the discussion board. Left click on the picture, select properties, copy address and paste in box below. The optional image URL box will post the picture on the board. Use the other boxes to make a link. If make a link you must give it a title (any title you want).

The picture is really great. My Dad had an old Massey-Harris self-propelled clipper. I just barely remember it. Can you believe those guys used to sit over the reel in all of that chafe and dust!

Hey Todd, Thanks for moving the picture over to the discussion forum. I grew up on a 1010 without a cab and we used to try to wear goggles and a dust mask, but was so miserable as it was always so hot during harvest. Barley dust was the worst. Sweat in your eyes stings, but barley dust with it and your in trouble.

This past summer on my farm in South Dakota. I don't know all the history of these machines, but I'd almost bet they've never straight cut 80+ bu/ac spring wheat before.

I would have been there if I knew about it, I'm trying to get Dad's 800 restored someday, I would love to see one running now. How far are you from Granite Iowa? I heard there is or was an 800 at that show. If you do this again, post it on here, I'll drive out to watch, heck I'd even run the 800 if I could.

I'm in the Northeastern area of the state. Near the small town of Mellette. The 800 belongs to a friend of mine. He also has an A6 pulled by an SC just about ready to go. We hope to add it to the mix next year.

Roger, I'll keep my eyes open. I found Lake City on my map, but not Granite. Is it near Lake City? Or what is a larger town close by?
Our local salvage yard had a whole row of Case combines up until a few years ago. They crushed the whole works. They only saved a cherry 1660 or 1665 that somebody drove onto the lot under its own power and a year or two later, they crushed it too. The farmers are done with them, but what they don't realize is that the collectors are just starting.

Brad, Granite is clear up in the far NW corner of Iowa. I'm east of Ft Dodge about 17 miles, near Webster City Lake City is about 55 miles from me. I know what you mean about the junk yards, they figure nobody wants them anymore so get rid of them.

Roger, I found all the towns. With Granite being only a hop, skip and jump to Sioux Falls, it's about a 3 to 3 and 1/2 hr drive to my place from SF. (Depending on your driving habits).

We had more fun after harvest as we used the 570 and 230 baler to bale up the straw. My kids sold the bales for their summer wages.

The first combine we had at home was the old pull type, not sure of the model number but it sure did a great job. Never had the fields turn green afterwards unlike some units. Would be fun to go out an run one of those self-propelled units again.

For all of you CaseNuts.In about 1964 I viewed a promotion movie film that Case Co. had produced to aid in selling their combines.The film was an actual show of a custom combine owner with maybe as many as 12 machines in operation.Each following in a stepped or staggered line.It was a thrill to witness this show where one after another the combines came into view as they topped the break of arise in the field.I had the good fortune to borrow the film for a couple of weeks and showed it to lots of friends.The entire show followed the operation of the custom work from season start in Texas and followed the harvest all the way to finish in Canada.It showed the fleet of trucks employed to transport combines and headers,cook shack truck, operator crew trucks and lots of aireal photos following the entire operation from farm to farm to compleation of harvest.My father in law had followed the harvest this way when he was a lad and told me lots of tales about it.I lived in Maryland in the 1960s and operated a custom combine and hay making business with a partner during summers while I was on vacations from my normal job an merchant ships.My partner who was a neighboring farmer ran the operation when I was back to sea.We had a Case 600 machine and did small grain and also corn so it kept the combine busy for many months each year.If it was a very wet fall and impossible to operate in the mud we sometimes had to wait until the ground froze to get corn in.I remember that one year my partner could not harvest our own corn crop until January 6th.so we lost about ten % to stalk rot.I also recall coming home some nights black and itching all over from cutting bearded barley.At present I own six Case tractors and a 700 and a 900 combine.Both combines have been outside for to long and need to be restored.I do not have shed space but would surely enjoy getting one of these back in operation.If anyone has an inside track with Case Company possibly the film I described above could be borrowed or even purchased.It would make a great show for 4-H ers or FFA kids.

You wouldnt be thinking of the film called "On the Go" that was produced by Case following the Carl Reiger harvest crew from Bellview Kansas that starts down in Texas & heads north with 14 new Case 1000 combines? If so, that is available on vhs tape from the Old Abes News club, I'm glad I got a copy a few years ago.
