looking for a combine to restore!

isaacjibben · May 12, 2019

Anyone know of some combine collectors that would be interested in selling one of their old self propelled combines made between 1940 though the 1960! Email me at [email protected] or by phone at 320-226-7701 Thanks!

I?ve got a 9500 I?m looking to burn! =)

About 6 months ago, you spammed most of the Boards here and asked the same question.

Did you not like any of the answers you got?

Also, when looking for an item that is BIG and $$$ to transport as a combine, it would be a good idea to list your location, and how far you are willing to drive or haul one, IMHO.

Thanks for the advice! Yes I did ask earlier in the year but just wanted to make sure everyone in those forms now that I am looking! I got a lot of answers to the posts and have put these people on a map were they are and what they have. Combine restoration is not a cheap thing to get into and I just wont to make sure that I don't miss any cheaper opportunities! If I am going to have to spend a lot of money restoring the thing than I mine as well be something further away that is in better condition.

With combines the cheaper they are the more you?re gonna
put into them anyhow. Even if you have to get it hauled you?d
still be money ahead to pay more for a decent machine that
just needs belts, bearings and a little love vs. buying a
machine for a song that gets you into replacing tin and custom
fabricating worn and broken parts that you?re going to dump a
small fortune into. Then if you don?t have the means to do any
metalworking or fabrication on your own, the price probably
just doubled getting fab shops to make stuff. Since this
sounds like your first machine make it easier on yourself and
spend the cash for a good solid unit, it?s going to be cheaper
in the long run.

Yes, I am sorry that I didn't get back to you! Someone hacked my computer and deleted everything on it including everything on my email and pictures of me and my recently past away grandpa that I will never be able to see again! I had just got a new phone and computer and now have to start over! I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

Case Nutty 1660 · May 14, 2019

you are right I will just cut this one up, no need to save anything for anyone since you seem to know its junk already, thanks for the heads up, I know little about combines, going to do the same with the first model SP Oliver I am getting that has always been shedded,,

oliverkid · May 14, 2019

I never said just cut them up and don?t save them. I have a basket case Oliver model 18 that the whole under side of the thashing chamber is rotted off the head had no bottom left and the grain tank and unloading auger are hanging on by a prayer. Gave 50 bucks go it when I was 15. At the time I did not have the skill or knowlege of parts sources to mess with it so it got shoved in the corner of the barn. Bought my Oliver 525 a year later for 900, bright it home as a running machine and started going through it and had it back in the field by that fall. Learned a lot about fixing combines on that machine and most importantly learned who to talk to and where to source parts from to make it happen. Then my 7300 came along and it was second nature by that point. Now the only thing stopping me from tackling that 18 is lack of a shop big enough to tear it apart and do it right. Trust me, I want to save them all. I?m just saying if it?s your first time start with a good machine to learn on and go from there. You get a basket case right off the bat and it?s easy to get overwhelmed.

casecollectorsc · May 14, 2019

Just curious...what engines were available for the 7300?

casecollectorsc · May 14, 2019

Where did you find a early Oliver in your country? Or isn't it local??

oliverkid · May 15, 2019

318 Chrysler V8 or a 354 Perkins. Mine has the Perkins.

Case Nutty 1660 · May 15, 2019

long time friend had it and used it for many years custom cutting not far from me I am sick of buying other brands and hoping some one wants them,, all they do is take up space and with the city getting closer to me by the hour I am going to have to clean out my junk rows someday, just as well start with things that take up the most space first,, my Case ones will be the last to go of course

oliverkid · May 15, 2019

There?s a shed kept Oliver 33 in Illinois right now that ide love to have but don?t have anymore shed space. Can?t bring myself to drag a shedded machine home and park it outside.

moll · May 15, 2019

Around here its not hard to find an A Gleaner in anybodys' price range, easy
to work on, parts still around and a really good combine, period.

ACD-21 · May 20, 2019

I have a 1955 A-C Gleaner T-3 SP combine with 10 foot direct cut header. RUNS AND DRIVES. Shedded in the Grand Forks, N.D.
area. Calls work best. 701-290-6214 or 605-720-9687 Marvin

Levi · May 21, 2019

would love to see the 7300 on youtube i miss your channel

71ford100 · May 23, 2019

If you get tired of the Oliver being in your yard it might look good in mine on the other side of the state!

MattLF9 · May 25, 2019

I'll get the gas and lighter, I'm surprised the pos JD hasn't burnt itself yet??
