the only gleaner pull type combines in this part of the country were gleaner sixes. they cut six feet and most of them had a v-4 wisconsin hard to start motor. when i was a kid i used to ride in the grain bin, which seemed way up in the air, while my grampa combined wheat and oats. they were a bear to change over to beans. you had to change about every sproket and pulley on the machine to slow the cylinder down, grampa said that's why he bought it was because he didn't grow soybeans.

There may be a collection of info somewhere that am not aware of but info is kinda scattered. Best all in one place is in Norm Swinford"s Allis Chalmers book that has a couple pages. I have a model S which is like the Six that randy mentioned but a later version, the last ones were caled P-8o and I think that was around 1956-7 The larger 12 cut machines I know little about.

There is a book by Graeme Quick and Wesley Buchele entitled "The Grain Harvesters" listing several pull type Baldwin combines and their specifications.It was published in 1978 by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. ISBN: 0-916150-13-5 I don"t know if it is still in print, a library might be able to find a copy. It is a fascinating read covering grain harvesting methods and equipment around the world.

Ozark: Thanks for the ISBN number. I think I'll stop at the library when in town. Yep, there has been big changes in harvesting in the last 125 years. Glad I got a couple years picking up bundles for the threshing machine in '48-'51. Still it's the same need. Seperate the grain from the crop, clean it & store it. The "fun" is in trying to do it? ag

According that book the first combines were patented in the 1850s.

My Dad had a couple of pull type Gleaners he used in Texas in the 40s and 50s. They had 12 foot cut but I don't know the numbers of them.

The first pull type Gleaner was 1927 10' with a Model T Ford engine. 1928 the 12' was avaliable. Last year of the pull type was 1951.

I'll try to attach a picture of my 1927.
