Free combine

DeltaRed · Jul 1, 2019

I got a phone call. Guy asked if I was interested in a combine. JD #30. Yep ,how much? "Free" he says."come get it".OK,cool! Catch,It needs tires."bring rims/tires to put on". Funny thing,I bought it 30 years ago,repaired it and acctually used it on my farm! Sold it 25 years ago when I bought my 55.It's been sold at least 3 times since I sold it! It's coming home.

"Anything free is worth savin' up for." And if anyone can name the movie, I'll be very impressed.

A little off topic but somewhat related being a JD 55 was mentioned. My first combine was a well worn out JD 95, 24' sickle head. Threre I learned how to dismantle just about every type of cylinder JD used on their equipment...Quite an experience. After completing the mechanical restoration, first time out I misjudged a local power company power pole right in the middle of the oat patch in an unknown field. Got the header past it just fine but forgot I had the unloading auger/chute sticking straight out.............need I say more.

How old is something like that? Think we had a new JD 30 maybe 55 years ago, first JD equipment on the farm, every thing else was Farmall/McCormick.
