- Well it finally happened everyone. Harvest season is here! Everything went pretty well with this 90 year old sunshine waterloo harvester combine. Plugged it once because I was taking too deep of a cut. All in all got around 100 bushels from around 5 acres. not bad... Thankyou to everyone who helped me get to this point. I figure from what I've been told that this combine hasn't done a good days work in 50 ish years. Only a couple passes as a demonstration. Well I brought the demonstration to the big screen in hopes that many will see it. Took about 5h to harvest the field. Thank for watching everyone!

Howdyyawl from the land down under. Nice to see a machine of yesteryear in full operation. Nothing wrong with old time stuff, if it's not broke dont fix it My grandfather had one just like it. I would like to get one myself to do our 100 acres. Absolute treasure. Like it😊
Awesome combine, I wish there was video that had no music and just the sounds of the machine.
Great video. I would have liked to hear the engine and the sound of the machine running.
Was nice to see this old piece of machinery not just saved, but also put back in to usable condition... kudos to you for bringing it back to life.🛠️
It's amazing how early the Australians figured out the "standard" layout for a combine. Centered operator station, rear wheel steering, and a side unloading grain tank. It took us a little longer to figure out that layout in North America.
Impressive! Thanks for this video. I used a tractor drawn combine from the seventies on my farm up to two years ago and thought that was ancient 😂👍
Too much music! Let me here it run :)
Hear*
The use of drone footage really added a lot to this video. Great job!!
Great to see abit of old Australian machinery working on the other side of the world. 👍🇦🇺
We used to have a wrecked pto version of this header on our farm in Victoria, Australia . We used to play on it as kids but as I grew older I never asked the history of this machine. My parents have now died and the farm got sold ( against my wishes ) . I wish I had of asked more questions about the old header and other old machinery on our farm.
Cool video. Amazing how they designed it to have the engine right next the operator! Loud ,hot ! Oh but you could easily check the rad for obstruction and check the oil !😅
Would to hear it's sound running well done for getting it running
Congrats on the harvester working and congrats on getting married
For its age that old girl moves at a pretty impressive clip! I'll bet the first owner felt like he was the king of the world playing in the big leagues. I wonder how many 1 ton grain trucks that combine has filled over the years?
Magnificent combine , great achievement and it works well . 👍🏴
How combine’s have changed. Thank you
Too bad about that cap, but great video. Fun to see how it used to be done, thank you!! Congrats on taking "the big plunge" as well, all the best
Thankyou
thats great combine and nicely restored
I first saw this one and was very impressed I saw another one operating almost yesterday and now I'm back to this one I think this is one very cool combine and I'm interested in more specifications on that engine but carry on man I appreciate it
Amazing :)
Hi, nice work with the restauration.
Let me suggest that you let the engine sound in the video. I think i1m not the only one who likes to listen to the old engines purring.
jeez, needs more auger flights, lol. If you were bringing that tank to shops, there is a good chance somebody walked off with the cap. I've learned the hard way to keep careful track of items that attract attention.
Awesome congratulations
thats so cool. that's big news at coffeerow i bet. great to see older equipment working and not just rusting away.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Be good to here it running
Very cool seeing this in action but would have loved to hear it instead of the music. But all in all a great video!
Very nice
seen one of those for sale a year ago I should of tired to buy it, awesome video
Sunshine Auto Header. One wheel drive. It's a HST header (Headley Taylor Smith the inventior of that style of front and combine as ya call e'm overseas) like the Sunshine no.6 PTO, engine function and ground drive models. They were exported. lt's good to see one working overseas.
Can we hear it run please?
Coming soon! Drone footage is silent. That's why I did it this way.
@@littlefarmontheprairies9359 excellent, thank you
Was waiting for the engine sound...
I wanted to hear the machine working aswell
Would have loved to Heard the engine running Could have did without the music
Grandpa had one, tipped over with load grain on the side hill. Went back too stooking
Super cool
good old ausey header and number 4 comb
I would rather listen to the machine work than the music
Awesome old machine but no music and all machine next time
I'm interested in the design of the cutter and the width and a lot of other stats, a voice over without music would have been good. The least interesting thing about the combine was the engine. I would have loved more info on the threshing mechanism.
What is it like harvesting wheat rather than oats which are easier to thresh?
Hi from aus good to see. I have one that iv just got its a bit older with a fordson motor and 2speeds 12 ft head twin bager. mine is missing the brakes I have the pedal but that's all the link is just hanging and it's not obvious what's ment to be there
would have been better without music
Where is the sound of the machine working, I personally don't care to here music when you have history in motion.
You eat a ton of dust every day operating this thing. Also the engine sitting beside you will burn you up. Still a big step up from doing it by hand.
Got Married!!!... 0~o you madman you... >~< but congratulations and best of luck with the family.
This is a good video except for on thing. When you were doing the shots on the ground, why didn't you let us hear it run instead of covering it up with this background racket. Good
video except for that.
Dump the music! People who enjoy the old antique machinery want to be able to enjoy the sounds of the machines.
Makes me wonder if the person who made this video goes to events involving vintage equipment, hoping there will be loud music drowning out the sound of the equipment.
Pour silver seal in it let it run awhile fixes leaks
Use silver seal radiator leak fix pour small tube contents into radiator run for awhile seal it up.
would have been nice to hear the machine work rather than the music
Very nice. How was grain loss? Interesting header design. Looks like it did pretty well. Will there be a follow up video?
The grain truck is very interesting. I love the old COEs. Is it yours? I'd like to see more of it.
Thanks, best regards from Indiana, USA.
I didn't check the losses but I think they are high lol!!! There was a bit of return grain so it's doing its job!
would have enjoyed hearing the machine instead of the music!
Would do a lot cleaner grain sample if it had the correct sieves in place.
I had to turn my speakers off because of the music.
That's a great video thanks for posting. Does the unit have just the one powered wheel, under the engine side?
Hoy en dia por como van las cosas .si tienes un terreno apto para sembrar tus propios granos se debe considerar armarse de una maquina de estas...
Yo vivo en Chile y en zona rural. Estoy restaurando una
Mc Cormick 125 de 1946...
Cool, but I Iwould liked to have heard it run instead of canned music.
Woulda liked sound of machine instead of That Music .
Why this music? Why not the enginesound and the sound of al the mechanics? Shame!!
Would this have originally used a moto-meter, a thermometer in the radiator cap?
I don't believe so no.
Disappointing. Music instead of the good real sound...... no thumbs up for that.
that tipper looks....um british?
Where is the GPS?. OMG!!!
I would rather hear the machine running instead of music.
Just say no to the urge to add the music
To please don't beat yourself up over the cap.
And you don't let us hear it run???
😲😲😲😲😲😲👍👍👍👍
Get a new cap
Et entendre le bruit de la machine 🤷 non jamais quoi
Interesting video, but next time leave that annoying, irritating, loud background music at home where it belongs. I (and many others) would much rather listen to that machine at work. Because of that stupid music I'm giving this a thumbs down. 👎
Nobody cares about the stupid music. We want to hear her operating!!!
