1960's film from Allis Chalmers of the Gleaner Combine factory at Independence Missouri showing the designing and construction of Gleaner combines. Taken from the out of print "Machinery of the Past" VHS.

I sure was glad to see the six Gleaners at the end of this movie. I remember the day when Allis Chalmers took these movies. I was number 4, 18yrs old and only Canadian on the crew. Three of the six combines were owned by Bob and Katy Davis, of Carman, Oklahoma. The other three combines were owned by Don Zahorski. The picture was taken on July 24 1964 on Fred Brugger’s farm in Lusk, Wyoming. Allis Chalmers was always #1 in my books. Thanks for the memories!

Gene Allen and Jerry Boone at 5:30, two of my first leaders when I began my engineering career at Allis-Chalmers. Shop area and the workers in it - fond memories of my first 22 years in engineering.

I was an exchange student from Switzerland working for a grain farmer near Winnipeg in 1978. This farmer had a Gleaner L2 combine, as well as a D21 Allis and a 7580 Allis fourwheeldrive tractor. It's only 41 years ago. MS

Hi J and L Videos, thank you for sharing with us this part of our past which made America/Canada the leader in world harvesting/harvester production. Thank you for reminding us of the ingenuity and work that went into these impressive machines to help with the labor-intensive life of farmers. Happy New Year and may God bless America, Ciao, L (Morningside & Star Shine Farms, Inc)

Like the movie said at the end, there are still plenty of these machines running 50 years later and getting the job done. Great video! Thank you for posting.

I have a gleaner E, just got a Oliver 7600 so it's second string now but was my main machine on 10 acres for 7 years. Loved it just doesn't have the capacity I need for 60bu beans. But they were right 50 years later there she sits!!

When I came along in 1960; I remember my Grandpa having an "F" Gleaner. I loved riding with him on it & playing on it.

Z Not trying to be too critical but unless this was an Allis Chalmers promo. You spent too much time in the factory with tolerances etc just like they do. If it's an Allis promo they should've made the factory part shorter lol

Back in those days, people cared about what was "under the hood" and they demanded quality. SO showing how they were built, the machinery and techniques used, was very impressive to that generation. Nowadays most people don't know how it works and don't care. Course we have a throwaway society too; back then people DEMANDED stuff they were spending their hard-earned money on to be built to last... if it wasn't they'd buy something else. "Cheap junk" came from Japan and was fine for a 25 cent pocketknife, but for high dollar purchases, most folks demanded QUALITY. A few years back, I was at the county fair in Indiana and they had a new Ford CUV thing (like a station wagon but not, can't recall what it was called) and I looked it over and was talking to the salesman to find out more about it. He told me all about the stupid wifi hotspot and all the "accessibility" and stuff and how it could connect to "all your devices" and all this Gen Z and Millennial rubbish, and I kept asking questions about what kind of engine and transmission it had, stuff like that. He kept talking past me about all the electronic gibberish. I kept asking about the performance and engine and transmission and mileage and stuff like that. After going around the mulberry bush a time or two like that, I kept asking him straight out about the mechanicals, and he couldn't answer-- the salesman didn't even know! All Ford had trained them on was all this electronic rubbish. I told him outright, "I buy a vehicle to get from point A to B, not to be a mobile entertainment center..." He just stared at me like I beamed down from Mars... Go figure! Different time, different priorities... Later! OL J R :)
