I have a 60 self-propelled I got on here and man it sure is nice running machine when we have that Fall breeze combining Soybeans. Couple years ago, I had no breeze on a Gleaner no cab, and my eyes were watering from the bean dust. My grandpa started farming in the 50's with a 60 pull-type and I was told they were better cause you weren't sitting behind the header eating the dust as much. He liked it so much he convinced his brother to go buy the same combine.

I have one and think it is a great machine. It has the Continental F140 engine and much more courage than an AC All-Crop.
Why do you want one ?

It was the first combine my grandpa had when he started are farm in 1954. He loved it so much in Soybeans he convinced his brother to go by a new one for himself. I'm a combine collector too but it would just be supper to have a working one as family history. I got a self propelled one just because I still haven't found a pull type PTO module. Hopefully one comes up for sale soon before their all scraped! Everyone tells me I'm too young to be collecting old equipment at age 22 but the way I see it another 20 or 30 years there wont be any left not scrapped!!!

I had a Massey SP 60 as well. I liked running it but it was too small bodied in oats and barley. To be honest it was an absolute pig on fuel
too.

Your talking about in the last ten years or way back in the day before yields started skyrocketing? I would really appreciate hearing more about your SP 60! I also have a 1954 T3 Gleaner which was in the same class as the 60SP Massey. They both have a 10-foot header but that's were their similarities end. just looking at the Engines the Gleaner runs a 4-cylinder Ford and the Massey runs a 6-cylinder Chrystler so that tells you which ones doing better on fuel. Just size comparison the Massey is a lot bigger than the 5500 pounds that the T3 Gleaner is made of but the Gleaner dose seam more efficient even without all though different adjustments you can make on a Massey. The Massey PT60 my grandpa had only had a 7-foot header on it I think so he probably didn't face the probable's you did. I've never run anything but soybeans in my SP60 so never had an issue with plugging.
