Run across this old John Deere Model 55 combine in NW Kansas on a vacant farm today. Just had to check it out. Don't know a thing about it but wish it was closer to home as I would lover to see this old machine resurrected. I didn't go up on top of it, but the paint, sheet metal, and decals all looked to be really good for a 70 year old machine. Who know if it has sat outside and for how long. Amazing is that the drive tires were in good shape and holding air. Grew up on dad's 1950 model 55 which he bought new.
