Help to identify old combine

Andy C · Sep 2, 2019

My grandson is fascinated with "old " combines lately and saw this one when he and his dad were combining. I like to encourage him along with information that he might not be able to get easily. Does anyone have an idea of the Make/Model of this machine? Sure is fascinating to me the condition it looks to be in! They live in North Central Montana. Thanks in advance. If there is any place with the knowledge base to identify this I am sure it is here!

IMHO, it's a John Deere, the model number escapes me at the moment, but I've got two of 'em back in the trees somewhere.

I love those old galvanized combines. Don't see many around anymore. Definitely from a very different era.

I agree with Bob, possibly a #5 Deere.

Huber used to make a combine looked lot like that...in galvanized. Some were called Huber "Beaners".

If You look carefully at the front "shadowed" part of the grain tank... I think I see an E, & an R at the end of a word! like Gleaner, or Beaner! Could be wrong.
