    My father had a 7300 White with 4 row narrow corn head, I believe 13' grain head for soybeans and winter wheat. Chrysler V8 gasoline that he loved the sound of. I think the better engine however for him was the Perkins diesel that was in his Oliver 1850 and later on, his White 8700! ....one of the reasons he bought the 8700. Keep em' coming Ross. God bless.

    Ross, love the outcome! Just a concern from a fellow pet owner, maybe you need to put Buddy in the cab when going down the road, he likely is going to get run over eventually. And we and you love him too much for that to happen. My late pup got bad at the following along like that, we got in the habit of putting her in the cab of whatever we were driving. Got along great! She passed at the ripe age of 15 from heart failure. About the combine, a neighbor here had a pair of red 7300s , used one for parts. He quit farming and sold things off, still has the parts machine. I wanted to buy it for the collection. But the motor is locked up and he had pretty much stripped it out, so passed on it. Wouldn't mind finding one like you did and use on the back farm where the 1660 don't hardly fit down there because of the creek crossing. The old bridge is too light and narrow for anything bigger than the old little machines. Just thought of something to add about pets. We had a scrappy old barn cat that got in the habit of prowling the fields for game. He disappeared for a couple of weeks. We thought that the big red tail hawks had got him! Cutting beans in the back 40, in the middle of the field, I spotted him wondering down the row! Guess he got lost out there and couldn't find his way home. He sure was happy to see me, he rode in the cab with me the rest of the day.

A ton of maintenance and cleaning involved. That's only the 2nd 3 row 700 series head I've seen. There was 703N for sale in northern, MN few years back.

Thankyou also for taking the time to expalin how the cylinder type combine actually works. I have a way better understanding of it now. You were explainning how the cylinder should just rub the corn off the ear and not break it. Is there an adjustment for that? I assume there has to be. Thanks Again...

Hoping if you're up to it and time's on your side maybe we might get to see the 545 in the field next year. Fingers crossed lol. I don't know why, but I love that 5X5 series of combines. Especially the 525s.

As you said, all but the birds nest, that was really clean. It was exciting to see it back in the field. You might want to consider a battery and check the charging system, lol. Thanks for your time and effort. I thought it was cool that you went through and explained how it all worked for those who have not been around machines like this. I did see a feature that our case and Gleaner didn't have. The trap door on top looked real handy to gain access. That's not a fun job to have to clean out. See you soon.
