Restoring a late 40's (?)6-foot swath tractor pull combine with a Wisconsin 4 cyl (not in-line)air-cooled engine hand cranker so I can cut a few acres of wheat and rye (will it handle vetch?)Questions:
1/ What do I have? Can't find a serial number or model?
2/ Anybody know what color we should paint it -- I'm not a purist, but if we can get close to an original, why not? Looks like it's been a JD green, some red and mostly a yellow. And the name of a paint supplier.
3/ Does the Pittman, other wood parts -- like for the reel -- need to be ash or can easier to find wood be used? Does anyone have a great way of replacing the wood block things that have zerks in them and hold some of the various axles?
4/ Anybody know a supplier of either the belts or the canvases in case the ones I have give out?
5/ Is there a way to find an Operator's or a Repair Manual? Kermit's Corner Bookstore -- one of the eBay stores, had a parts manual for the 9' and 12' Case model 110 but I haven't been able to find one for the A-6.

Thanks a bunch for any help you can provide.

Bill, I looked at one of my A-6's yesterday and discovered that I told you wrong about the model and serial number plate. It is located under the header auger trough on the right side of the machine. Should have a letter "A" in the model designation block.
I do have some photos of one of my combines that were taken as we moved the combine out of 35 years of storage. If you would like, send me your email address and I will scan them and send them to you so you can get a better idea of original colors.

Thanks everyone. Paul: from what you say I'm pretty sure it is an A-6. The outline of where the serial plate used to be is right where you predicted. The header auger trough covers are wood, though not the original. The original Case stencil outlines are there but no #65 that we can see. Tim: Where is the Combines & Harvesters board on this site? I haven't seen it and would like to very much. Sorry nobody has a color picture of one. Guess we'll just do a primer for now. What is Wenger's or a URL for them? Stan: Thanks for looking; appreciate it. Having trouble with the Wisconsin engine now. See my post under today's date.

Sure sounds like you have an A6 but you MAY have a 65. The A6's were by far the most common but there aren't alot of obvious differences. As I remember, there should be serial number plate on the left side below and slightly behind the grain tank. A couple of other differences: The A's header auger trough should have oak covers while the 65 has metal. The 65 has a longer unloading auger (although the A could be ordered with either a 69" or 94" auger) and has a brace from the grain tank to the auger. Every 65 I've ever seen has the number 65 stenciled below the Case logo on both sides of the combine. The header auger trough shield on teh 65 is square while the A6's is best described as triangular. Case also made a 75 and 77 in very similar configurations. The A6's were galvanized at first but later production was flambeau red with Case's implement green on the wheels, hitch and various other parts. The combines I've been around had oak pitmans and used oak blocks as tighteners on some of the chains. The straw walker pitman bearings you mention were also oak. Ebay usually has some A6 items listed. Just search with Case combine. Hope this helps

I'm not real familiar with Case combines, but this is what I know from growing up around old machinery on my grandpa's farm. The pitman should be a hard wood. The reel bats could be anything, I suppose. The wood bearings are probably hard maple. If you have dimensions, a wood shop can turn out a bunch at a time fairly easily. Case used variations of dark green, flambeau red, yellow, over the years. I'll have to look through my literature collection; I may have a color ad for an A-6. Stan(FL) may also be able to help. Go to the combines and harvesters board on this site and do a search for canvas. There has been a supplier mentioned several times over the past year or two. Flat belts can be made up by several different shops, I've used an Amish guy in Pennsylvania.

Didn't find a color picture of an A-6 in my collection. I went to Wenger's collectors corner and didn't find a good one there. However, I did note that they have an ad for a straw chopper made to fit a Case A-6 or a Case 75 combine. Could you have a 75, which may explain why it looks like a small 110? Only Case combines that I have seen with my own two eyes are 660, 700 and 900 SP machines from the '60s, so don't take my info as gospel truth.

Tim,

You give me way too much credit, I'm afraid. My only connection with a Case pull-type combine was one my uncle owned in the mid-50s. As I remember, it was a silver color, most likely galvanized steel. Other than that, I'm less than no help...sorry!

Good to hear from you, though,

Stan
