Any help would be nice. I have inherited my grandfathers mccormick deering 22-36 and a JD thrashing machine. I know the 22-36 weighs around 6000, does anyone know how much the thrashing machine roughly weighs? I do not know a thing about them, probaly early 1930's. I know it was used in 39. Grandpa was just a poor dirt farmer in SD, not a whole lot of money was everspent on equipment.
thanks Jay

I tried to respond to this earlier but the net was being finiky.

The weights posted sound right. One thing to keep in mind is height. Just watch the bridge heights and lines as you are driving to where the machine is. If there are any low bridges take note of the clearance. Measure the machine and add the height of the trailer. Usually the clean grain elevator is the heighest point.

I hope the machine was stored inside.

thank you for the info. To answer the question the tractor will run with a "few" hours of work. It was started atleast once a year for as long as I could remember ( I'm 29 ). The tharshing machine is in need of care. It did have the SN plate on if from the Hart-Carter company. When I get them here I hope to post a pic of them. I am going to try to get them on Sat. Like I said I dont know athing about the tharshing machine, honestly last weekend I found out it was my grandfathers. It was great hearing about it from my uncles, who "became men" while running the tractors for the tharshers when they were 7 & 8 years old.
Thanks again for the info
Jay

55 50, I don't know the big difference in horse power as the technical info says that the cylinder on both are 22" and no. of bars is 12 on both. The only other information that I have is as follows:
"John Deere and Company, Moline, Illinois, entered the threshing machine business later than most of its contemporaries by purchasing the Wagner-Langemo Company of Minneapolis in 1929. The purchase included a stock of already-completed threshing machines and parts. These were marketed for the next two years as the Grain-Saver. These machines were peculiar in that the wind-stacker blower was alongside the machine, rather than in the rear. In 1931 they were updated with the more conventional blower position and were known as the Light Running model. Both types had a raddle system of straw-grain separation. These had extra width, compared to the competition, which was used as a selling feature. Introduced in 1937 were another two models which featured straw walkers. The width was reduced to a more normal 22 X 36 and 28 X 42. Rubber tires were an option. After World War II, the machines were painted the traditional green and yellow, as the galvanized steel used previously was difficult to obtain."
This info as per the book Threshers by Robert N. Pripps and Andrew Morland

Jay, According to my threshing machine book the John Deere model 28X42 weighed in at 5,800 lbs and the 28X50 weighed 6,300 lbs. Both machines were 24'9" long, capacity of 200 and 250 bushel per hour and required 25 and 35 horsepower. These are the only JD threshers listed in my book. Hope this helps! Roger

Are both cylinders really at 28 inches and the straw walkers and sieves areas are 8 inches different? Seems there shouldn"t be 10 HP difference if the cylinders are the same width since most of the HP requirement is at the cylinder.

Most all farmers farm "in the dirt", don"t they? (Sorry, couldn"t resist the temptation there!) I would guess that the machine weighs about the same as the tractor. (a technicality here - thrash means to move about violently, thresh means to do the separation of the grain kernels from the straw and chaff) That"s a nice set of equipment to inherit. Consider yourself very fortunate. I was at an auction last year where a nice threshing machine sold for an astonishingly high price. Folks in the crowd were shaking their heads trying to figure out the bidders. Do you know if your units are in working condition?
