I remember going to John Deere Days when I was a kid in the 60's with my dad. They would show films like this and then have coffee and donuts. We even got to take a day off school to go sometimes. We bought a 1958 Hi 95 with a cab in about 1970 and still have it today, We had 3 other low 95's after that. We were using so much gas running 2 of them that when we got a Massey 851 pull type and pulled it with the diesel tractor that the fuel dealer thought we'd quit farming.
This ad is so accurate, around 1960 or so Dad sold his Case model 12sp and bought a used 95. What a great improvement. We operated a 95 through the seventies until Dad bought a 7700 around 1980. Then another jump in efficientcy. This was west of Wichita, KS. Yeah I ran an International model 403 one corn harvest wich was a good combine also but the JD I think was a better small grain machine.
We had a round back 95 when I was growing up on the farm in the 70's and 80's. It was well used and was a beast to operate but it just kept running year after year.
In all the years I’ve been alive, I didn’t know they had a round back 95 . Dude thanks for sharing really ! I’m almost 60 and still learn something new !
@@gleanerk I checked it out & no leveling system. Did find a really nice IH 1470 on there. Wish I had the money to bring it all the way back to Wi. It is cheap!
Yep me wanty 95 but low on doe. I totally understand! Oh well we got pictures. This gonna sound stupid but when I was a teenager I looked at girly pictures now I’ve been married and divorced and I’m looking at farm equipment pictures and wanting them . Lust of the eyes , lust of the flesh it’s pretty much the same. Just need to remember to be content with what I’ve got where runs or don’t. The past was so much easier than now ( in a way) like you say regards. Don’t worry I’m still going to watch the videos u put up 👍🏻
Thank you! I'm unfortunately too much of a perfectionist to not notice. A few other videos are passable, this one would go from clear to beer goggles in a couple frames. It took a bit, but I got it. Thanks for watching.
Those were the days... combines without cabs. A guy would be completely covered in dust by the end of the day. You fry in the sun doing wheat and oats, then get chilled to the bone in late fall doing corn. I'm glad I farmed in the days of cab, heater and A/C.
My dad had a 95 B he bought it for primarily cutting soybeans and winter wheat but, in 1960 he leased 3 farms that had rice allotments he was raising medium grain rice which at the time was a high yielding crop 100 plus bushels per acre the 95 B being a raspbar cylinder was bad at processing rice was bad about plugging up. It would have been better to have a spike tooth cylinder for rice. In 1969 he put my granddads 2 row wide corn head on it to harvest corn he had on 70 acres. The corn was non irrigated and only cut about 70 bushels/acre that two row picker head was bought for a JD 45 combine originally..
My dad, had a 95 B, whick was a mistake... he acquired 4 farms in the early 1960's that had rice allotments and since the landlords wanted to keep their full allotments he had to raise rice, and a combine with spike tooth cylinder would have been better.... rasp bar cylinders were horse power robbing in rice but one year he raised corn and he used my granddads 210 corn head to harvest that 70 or so acres of corn..that year...
I’m starting hobby farming my grammas 22 acre field, and I’m looking at buying a mint condition never restored 55 combine, the only thing I’m worried about is the gas these damned things eat. It’d be probably $1000 worth of gas
Turns out milo (grain sorghum) is commonly called “maize” in Texas and thereabouts. Perhaps the term had spread up into the Midwest back then, but has since faded out in favor of the correct names for milo and corn.

We had a 55 square back, 1968 model. It was a great combine!

Greatest summer days of my life as a kid, running a 95 on the family farm

Glad you enjoyed! I thought all 95s were square, too, until this video. That big round back looks neat! Regards!
I found one intact in Idaho for sell , looks good in its work clothes. TractorHouse
@@gleanerk I'll have to check that out. Might have the leveling system on it, being out there. That would be cool!!

Thank you for putting this together so we could enjoy it
Glad you enjoy!!
Never noticed the distortions, you did a great job getting this to video, Thanks.

As always, super cool footage! Thanks you so much and go on as possible 👍

Good job on the video for it to have been in such poor shape... Kudos! OL J R :)
Thanks! Though this one was rough, some of the ones in the IH folder caused me to bypass common foul language & come up with my own words. Lol!
@@ikonseesmrno7300 Sounds about like working on some of my old antique equipment LOL:) I know what you mean! Later! OL J R :)
the most copied design ever!!
