Went junk yard scrounging today and enjoyed the
weather. Found an old salvage yard that I think
is pretty much forgotten in this area.
Anyway, I came across several MM "L" combines that were pretty much complete. What I thought was interesting was the motor in these. They have a (I believe) MM built V4 motor similar to the old Wisconsin motors. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there were two separate motors in these combines. I think I saw a motor with the spark plugs on the outside of the "V" and I think I saw one that had the spark plugs on the inside of the "V". Am I mistaken about that? (I had to really rush through the salvage yard; I couldn't stay too long in one area) The motors seemed to be complete.
Do these have any value? I'm sure they weigh a ton, but looked to be real interesting.

I think one combine looked complete or nearly
complete. I guess I meant to say that the ENGINES were complete. Anyway, I think the three engines were all complete. Now, did I see two different air cooled engines, or was I mistaken? I am located in far north Kansas and am an Oliver man myself. I recently purchased an Oliver 70 and cornpicker from this man and was just looking through the whole yard.

Kruse,
The engine was built by Moline. The early versions had the cylinders from a ZA engine mounted in a V. I don't remember if the plugs were on the inside our outside. I've got one of those engines from a parted out L down the lane. I'd have to go look at it to be sure. The later Unis had a slightly different V engine based on the 445 tractor motor. Both of these V motors were liquid cooled. I've got 2 complete Unis (L). I'd probably sell one if someone was interested. I think the motors are stuck from sitting though. I've got a couple combines and picker/shellers attachments for these too. These can be difficult to haul due to their width. I'm in SE Michigan. Drop me an email if you want to know more.

Brian
