  • 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 😂👍

      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 !😅

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
