    Grandpa had one and all I remember is that it was red and it had a bench seat where two people sat one filled sacks and the other sewed them and tossed them off. I’ve never seen another one like it.

    I'm seeing this video for the first time and can't believe what I'm seeing. The camera work/camera angles are the absolute best I've ever seen anywhere in a farm video. Great job Farmall51. You should enter this video in contests for cinematography.

    I've haven't ever heard of that model or seen one. It's listed as 1950 to 1954. I was born in 54', so I know how old it is.(74) I guess my dad
    use a wider cut model, than that one. I own model 80 now, I guess the combine model that preceded the International 80 was the
    International 76, That must of been the one I rode around in the field, leveling off the oats when it was nearly full. The main difference was cutting width, 64" 76" and 80" From cutting bar to the grain tank was basically the same. except my dad's had the canvas apron feed.
    They are a neat piece or machinery just like the small square baler's are. The reason so many get scrapped is they take up a lot of room in your shed.

    Nice to see a little combine like this in operation. Most have been scrapped. Threshing machines had a much higher capacity but took much more work. Some of the combines like this were equipped with a pickup to pick up swaths. We have a rare 76 combine equipped with a pickup and I would like to preserve it. It is powered by a C-113 engine

    Wow,that is awesome. My Grandfather was an IH dealer in Petersburg,Va from 1943-1970

    We had one of these when I was about 8 years old. It looked alive when it was running, I think thanks to a pitman arm that was too long (kluged from another IH combine). The U-joint behind the motor was held together old rags wrapped around it so nothing could get away and the Scour-Kleen unit must've been shot because even though the sack for weed seeds was full, there were plenty still comingling with the oats. And Grasshoppers!!! It did a great job harvesting grasshoppers. This was before the era of herbicides and insecticides however. Junked it after getting an A-C Harvest-all. We had the motor in a shed for years and it finally found a home with a friend who used it to power a big old wooden bandsaw he had in his shop. He could cut wood to-beat-the-band after that.

    I like the video. I have a McCormick Deering 52-R combine it's a bagger with a Continital engine and still works.

      My Grandfather and my dad bought one of these about 1945 that had the flattop Continital 4 cylinder engine. The combine engine never started when hot. When I overhauled the engine about 1955 I found the engine was assembeled wrong. The timming of the cam and ignition was retarted by one gear touth. We used it until I graduated from high school in 1957. It was then traded in on a 76 international.. They towed it with the same tractor only much older. When my dad and grandfather bought their tractors neither had lights, starter or PTO. I installed starter, PTO and a hydraulic system on both tractors. They still run great to this day.

    Funny, but for all the advances in technology, the basic functions of combines has changed very little over the years, still use straw walkers and chaffers, ect. Nice to see these old machines doing the work they were built for.

    It makes all of the grain heads head in first onto the belt.

  • @ad356
    @ad356 10 років тому +2

    there might be faster ways to do things now, but think of how old that combine is, and its still works great.... very cool indeed. since its powered by a cub engine, engine parts wont ever be a problem for restoration. the rest of the machine, well parts would have to be fabricated.

    • @ad356
      @ad356 10 років тому +1

      the cub engine is actually known as the C60

      It's really amazing that a C-60 runs that at all.
