Greetings All,
I am a fan of the older machinery and am keeping my eye out for a pull-type combine, as I am planning on sowing some oats next spring in Central Wisconsin. We have usually direct seeded alfalfa, and I don't even remember my dad or grandfather having a combine on the farm, but I'd like to try my hand at it. Can you give me suggestions on a make/model that has an enduring reputation? I've seen a few IH 76's, 80's and 82's in the farm papers. Also, any words of advice concerning what to "look for" on an older unit would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'd recommend an AC All Crop 60-66- or 72. You can harvest your small seeds if desired as well as over 100 other crops.

I'm partial to AC All Crop pull types. I have 4,
66's. Two for harvesting and two for parts.
Look for a housed unit. The outsiders are subject to rust and any number of other problems associated with exposure to the elements.
The IH 80 is a good unit, also.
Good Luck,

I have a 80 IH pull type. I used it on 2 acres of soybeans last year, Worked well.

when looking at a machine, check out belts, as they are pricey, if it all available. Check idler pulleys, as they are the same way. If it is canvas, check the canvases, a lot are still available from people who manufacture reproductions, also quite pricey. Bearings should be looked at, and any gearboxes if possible. Also, check for the ultimate evil... Rustout. If there is 1 rust spots, there are probably a few of them.

Housed machines are normally the best bet, and the cleaner looking, quite possibly a better machine.

Good Luck in looking,

For what you want to do, there is nothing, NOTHING better than a 60 or 66 Allis Chalmers All Crop.
