Thanks, David. And, I'll keep that in mind. The best one that didn't get filmed was when I forgot the unloading auger was extended and ran it into the back of the other combine.
i had a love bar on a 403 my beans were solid seeded and wanted to hang on the end of the bar, i wished i would have planted in rows looks like is better
I did, and it was. The original owner has passed on, but he wrote notes all over this machine and several sticky notes in the cab indicating various instructions and what service had been done and what was needed before the next season!
@@rustyrelicsranch ok had a friend years ago in south Texas, my grandfather had a non cab Massey and it was a cream puff and ended up in Mexico. If you don't mind spending a few bucks run avgas and you will never have issues with carb and rotten fuel.
Love to see equipment that I grew up with still making it happen .👍
Thanks, Mark. I agree and that's why I'm doing it.
I had 403 but it was an older model. Good ole combine.
I agree.
My neighbour had one of these many years ago. It was a good combine.
I agree with that. Just curious, what area are you located?
looks really clean, and as usual the production quality of the video is top notch...still waiting for the blooper video :)

This video is such a great reminder to live in harmony with nature
I try. Thanks for watching.
Nature's wonders, captured beautifully
Thanks for watching.
Hey that is a good looking 403 you've got there. You need some bigger fields to spend more time playing haha.
Thanks! I do need a bigger field! It takes me 10 times longer to clean up the combine than it does to use it.
@rustyrelicsranch yeah it does take a while to clean them up. Will you be back up at the half century of progress show this next year?
Yes we will. Already have rooms booked.
403's were fairly popular in my area the were equipped with a 4 way leveling system. Two cylinders on the back and another single towards the front.
Sounds like a hillside special. The land in this area is flat as a tabletop.
I two small machines back in the day a 403 and a JD 4400
I'm not too familiar with the 4400. I guess it would be about equivalent to a 715.
That was the combine of the day. Don’t remember many of them burning down not much plastic on them
Right. Can't think of anything plastic. Years ago, had a 915 catch fire from bean dust. Battery exploded. Saved the combine though.
One more payment and it’s mine 😂 looks great 👍
Ha! Thanks!
Other than a bigger grain tank, do newer machines thresh better or?
Just my opinion; I don't think the newer ones thresh better, but with the long rotor running longitudinally, they have much more capacity.

I don't know what a love bar is. Googling it was a mistake!
@@rustyrelicsranch its a brand name for a floating bean bar made in the 60s and early 70s
IF you did not know any better you would swear it was brand new the way it runs .
It's been well maintained and preserved.
You found an old cream puff,and it was taken care of.
I did, and it was. The original owner has passed on, but he wrote notes all over this machine and several sticky notes in the cab indicating various instructions and what service had been done and what was needed before the next season!
Are those the same beans you cultivated with the 100?
Yes they are.
@@rustyrelicsranch that’s really cool and neat. Doing it all like it’s 1970. Keep up the good videos please
Thanks! Yes sir, I intend to for another season at least.
Looks like Texas but could be wrong.
You are correct. Near El Campo. Southwest of Houston.

I use non-ethanol gas along with Sta-bil. I can get it here at the local Co-Op. 90 octane.
