I do have one question for you though! How much wasp spray did you use when you where messing around with it in the pasture? <;0)
 
LOL very good point Kevin. I should have used some on my UO disc when I hitched it up...the little buggers. Had some fly out of the instrument panel on my ZB when we pulled it home and I was on the seat!
 
no wasp spray needed I looked at it and when I got back up there 2 weeks later the guy had it up by the shed with the head already off about an hour and a half to load and away we went
 
about them ZB's,i got #4 home now, ain't they something !!! put them M farmall too bed ! can you tell i like ZB's ?? PS NICE combine TOO !!!
 
Nice looking combine Clint. Doesn't look like it should be to hard to restore. Like the dual chrome stacks :) By the way, speaking of wasps, does anyone else notice how much they LOVE to make nests in the wide front axle tubes of MM's? Seems like one of my tractors sits idle for anytime they migrate towards that yellow and brown paint!
 
Kevin, What book are you looking at? I have Lloyd McCrays and it doesn't show a 570 model, only a Customatic model. My book shows the 382 series #s as S, SP, all below 38205113. Just trying to learn about the serial #s. Thanks, John
 
John, I have that one too! But I was looking at the yellow covered one I got that was out before his came out. I can't remember where I got this one from, but pretty sure it came from one of the collector's shows.
 
I know what you mean about wasps in the front end of the MM--almost got stung a few days ago when I was greasing M-5 that was only idle for a week--quick grabbed the wasp spray--shot and left for a while. I remember some 570 combines were in the yard at MM Hopkins in 1960. I think I have some literature up in the attic on them that I will try to find. I thought they were great then and had that brown Uni-Tractor; Jet Star paint color on them that seemed to just work out well on them.
