Brings back such great memories of combining soy beans with my pop back in 1969. My pop and me (I was 12) rebuilt a John Deere 55 with a Hercules Engine. Fresh coat of John Deere green pepper paint, new belts and new wood on the header. It was a beauty. Pop let me operate while he walked behind to see if we lost to much beans. I will never forget those days. We combined soy beans, rye and corn (with a corn header bought at an auction). I enjoyed those days with my pop and thank the good Lord for every minute!
1965 my father put me on one just like it, beans was i harvested first. I was 10. I was alright until running with the wind at my back the dust was bad. So many memories of that time. Wow how things changed.
@@jerrydewitt8585 was put on a JD 95 in 1965 ,was 11 also west central mn, soybeans were dirty, barley was itchy and at the end of the day it was nice to hear quite when the combine shut down

I love seeing these old machines in the field, couldn't imagine running this in 95 degree sun cutting barely, first machine I ran was a 69 John deer 105. At least it had a swamp cooler as long as you didn't stop suddenly or hit a big bump with the machine or you would get a shower

We are alot like you, we are a small farm in northcentral montana and we use a case 930 tractor for putting up alfalfa two versatile 400 swathers ,a case 1370, case 2670 and we have a 1470 and 1030 that don't run along with a international 1440 and the newest machine we have is a case 1660 that we got just this summer. I grew up running this old equipment and I love it. Ya the new equipment is nice and all but I would get stir crazy running newer stuff with GPS. I like driving and not just sitting there and letting it drive itself. They were built with no plastic or fiberglass and don't have all the electronics and sensors that you need a computer to figure out what's wrong with it.
@@nascarf50 Exactly!!! Generations before us taught us that if you want to make a living on farming, you can’t be hungry for new equipment all the time.

I love seeing these old machines. Our family farmed in Eastern Washington from 1983-1999. There were still a good number of 95H combines around back then. Started getting scarce toward the end but as long as the metal didn't wear through inside, they truly would go forever.

Yeah I'll bet you a lot of farmers want to go back to the good old days of sitting on an open platform with 120 decibel noise blowing your ears out in the 100° heat moving at 1 mile an hour. Yeah the good old days.
@@JHruby Yea back when that thing was new you could ride it for a couple years and pay for a farm. Now you have to be a slave for 40 years and still never own anything.
When i was 16 i had a job at a wheat research centre in Australia. They used headers similar to this in size to harvest the experimental wheat. I had to stand on the side filling up large sugar bag size samples of the wheat. 11 hours a day in 120 heat + plus what ever heat the engine threw off. Not a fun job. But $700 a week for a 16 yr old in the mid to late 80's, sure put a lot of joy back into it.

Great vid. I don't know what year this machine is, but we ran a 1958 model 55 for several years in wheat. On this machine, I had never seen a sickle driver setup like this before. Looks like it is doing a good job.
Look at the size of the field.think how long it would take or did take using this and several others machines. Also even longer with horse drawn .

I learned to drive a JD 55 with a Neil leveler which was made in Garfield , Washington. My family farmed in Eastern Washington and used it 10-15 years before updating to International 403 combine with 4 way leveling. Doug Floch
I lived in Spokane on two occasions and remember well the Palouse area. Those endless fields of wheat were a sight to see. Like ocean waves when the wind blew.
I started operating a JD 55 Hillside when I was 12 in 1961. Bought it from my dad in 1969 and traded for a 95H in 1972. No one could see the back of the header or auger while seated unless you really leaned forward. 90% of the time, especially in short grain in rolling terrain, the operator had to stand up. Every independent farmer I know has disconnected the kill switch on the seat of his farm equipment unless he hires a lot of untrained help. Somehow we were smart enough to be careful and most all the farmers I grew up with are still farming and many of us prefer to drive rather than sit while GPS takes our job away.
That's early 50's, my Dad bought a new 55 in 53, the later ones had a 45 degree tilt to the steering wheel where the earlier ones like this one were straight up and down with no tilt.
Hard to believe this machine was state of the art in its day . To those in the know, was this a normal cutting/threshing speed for this vintage of combine?
Yes, it was. I'm 75 and do remember those older combines! Maybe slow but it beat shocking the grain and hauling it in to the stationary thresher in the barnyard! Ron

Tough machines. Only draw back , by the end of the day you ate half of what you harvested . Better have a outside hose. Wife wouldn't let you.in the house. Don't even talk about barley. Good days though.
I had a regular 55 when I started out back in the early70s. Did a good job working, but terribly under powered in the hills. That Hercules engine was a major disappointment.
By the end if the day he will have wished he had goggles on because of the chaff. Talk about it. I couldn't wait to hit the shower to get it off. People now days have no idea with their enclosed combines.

wow that so cool I really want a old combine like that
They are cool, but you get super dusty after a while. Even worse in soybeans

Sounds very familiar. My father, and later me, had one just like it except out bin auger didn't fold.
Are you looking at Size of that field field and how slow that's going
We started out with a 40 then 45's then a 55, Back then the 55 was going big from the 40.

Aqui em Dom Pedrito conheci uma dessa,estáva num galpão,saiu funcionando, RGSul
I learned to drive a JD 55 with a Neil leveler which was made in Garfield , Washington.
My family farmed in Eastern Washington and used it 10-15 years before updating to International 403 combine with 4 way leveling.

Doug, I have one of those as well . Might be running next year!
I lived in Spokane on two occasions and remember well the Palouse area. Those endless fields of wheat were a sight to see. Like ocean waves when the wind blew.
Dad had a 203 international. For 1200 acres. You prayed for rain
Don't like that the head doesn't disengage when he gets off the seat 🤣
I started operating a JD 55 Hillside when I was 12 in 1961. Bought it from my dad in 1969 and traded for a 95H in 1972. No one could see the back of the header or auger while seated unless you really leaned forward. 90% of the time, especially in short grain in rolling terrain, the operator had to stand up. Every independent farmer I know has disconnected the kill switch on the seat of his farm equipment unless he hires a lot of untrained help. Somehow we were smart enough to be careful and most all the farmers I grew up with are still farming and many of us prefer to drive rather than sit while GPS takes our job away.
@@bobcrump3745 Ah yes the old safety is your own responsibility argument. Still true no matter how much crying takes place.
Just wondering does it have autosteer?? Joking
Old girl still has it
My dad owned a MF 585 PTO header. Haven't seen a new one that can do a better job on oats!! Though it was never that good with wheat...
My great uncle had one but he only had probably 50 acres to cut.
Old Machine getting it done! I’m guessing late 50s vintage? I had a square back 95 in the early 70s.
That's early 50's, my Dad bought a new 55 in 53, the later ones had a 45 degree tilt to the steering wheel where the earlier ones like this one were straight up and down with no tilt.
Hard to believe this machine was state of the art in its day .
To those in the know, was this a normal cutting/threshing speed for this vintage of combine?
Nah, he's just trying to make the job last since he's having fun. Raise the header and giver 'er hell!
Yes, it was. I'm 75 and do remember those older combines! Maybe slow but it beat shocking the grain and hauling it in to the stationary thresher in the barnyard! Ron
@@loisgustafson1558 Thank you for your reply.
You are lucky if things built today last five years.
Jd 55 aprendi numa agasolina nao era graneleira essa e mais nova o musificada
That's cool

Run johon deer 3300 love johon deer combine it was head of there time
I would hate to have a 1000 acres ahead of me.
U got gps on that thing
How wide is that header?
14 ft.
Hillside 55 ok
ee eee
Tough machines.
Only draw back , by the end of the day you ate half of what you harvested .
Better have a outside hose.
Wife wouldn't let you.in the house.
Don't even talk about barley.
Good days though.

Third world country would love to have machinery of this type. Trouble is parts availability if any at all.
I had a regular 55 when I started out back in the early70s. Did a good job working, but terribly under powered in the hills. That Hercules engine was a major disappointment.
Gee how can anyone get things done, Without a computer, internet and thousands of dollars in sensors?
apparently the reel is being used as a prethresher..
Ich denke die Maschine ist älter als du, sonst würdest du das nicht schreiben
I notice on almost all of these old combine videos that the reels are running way too low.
probably throwing over less then the new x9 lmao
Poor wheat plants. They must be thinking, "This is like making love to an old woman"?
Don't knock it till you tried it.
After 44 years of neglect.
In india this technology is beginning
I know at least 50 people I wish would walk into the back of that with their heads down.
The wave speed is too high. You shake the wheat on header. Not nice.
All that spinning metal and open belts, no wonder so many people got/get killed/injured on farms
The dumb were killed, now the dumb live!
Your 8 year old son could work on them then.
That's wen people were though
👍👍👍👍👍👍
TECHNOLOGY
No thanks I'll stay in the cab of my combine
Fucking send it
By the end if the day he will have wished he had goggles on because of the chaff. Talk about it. I couldn't wait to hit the shower to get it off. People now days have no idea with their enclosed combines.
wait:
no auto tilt?
no auto track?
no auto anything?
