Great to see these old simple machine s at work. Good video.

My grandfather had an all crop but never had the corn head. Great setup. Thanks for the video!

Hi Antique Allis - great video, thank you for posting. I am an "Antique IHC" but I can appreciate the genius, design, and productivity of these vintage farm equipment companies that help farmers feed America and win two World Wars. I remember the excitement of going to farm machinery shows in the 60~70's when we had all these companies trying to out-do/out-perform each other. I also remember the "Snap Coupler" implement attachment system to compete with the International Harvester's "Fast Hitch" system - those were the days! Peace be with you, Ciao, L (Morningside and Starshine Farms, Inc.)

Great video, Mr. Anderson, and thank you so much for filming it and uploading it for us. You did a very nice job of filming the action of the header and everything.

I don't believe what I just saw. Those 60+ year old machines are still out there. Simplicity in design never goes out of style. For the part time limited scale farmer these machines are all that's all that on the market for them. Hopefully they will be around for decades to come.

My granddad used an Allis Chalmers All Crop, great combine, would love to have one today, just to have it!

just love old farm machines ....can't get enough ..its just cool to me

Old school that is the equipment we use to work great to see it still working.

Nostalgia and the good ole days, if you were able to talk to my dad he would have told you that the old equipment was not that great he always said if we were doing it like we did fifty years ago not many would do it. It was hard backbreaking work..

I love to see the vintage machinery still working.

Years ago my uncle had 2 of these AC combines with corn heads on them, We shelled 75 acres with them for several years . One of them had the AC side hitch to toe a small wagon beside it to dump on the go, Its the only one I've ever seen to have one on it and it worked pretty good . Glad to see this old girl out there still running. Thanks for posting this video on here. Bandit

Thanks for sharing. I did not know there was a corn head for these old Allis's. I don't remember it being that hard to stay on a row. Find a spot to drive your tractor's front tires down and stick with it. Look back just once and a while to see if the combine is still following you. We had a pull type picker. This setup would take some getting used to though with the head being on the left hand side of the tractor. Full watch and like.

all the noises of the tractor and combine seems to relax me, like a past life as a farmer , our ancestors would hear these noises

Very cool video. I had a model 66 which I just sold to a friend this past summer. I hadn't used it in about 7 years and it had been sitting outside so I thought it was better to sell it to someone who would use it. Turns out that the floor of the cylinder chamber was rotten out - I had no idea. I never had a corn head for mine. Although I'm an Oliver guy, it's cool to see this machine pulled with an AC tractor.

Gawd you just took me back about 50+ years,,, they were good days,, we didnt think so then but now I know they were good days,, and the sweat and hurting never hurt us a bit

Wow! A corn head & cylinder tach! You're a lucky man. I passed up on a 66 with the tach ages ago, as I didn't know anything about it at the time. Still kicking myself for that one. Would love to find a setup like yours, but they didn't make a lot of those corn heads. I see you have a bunch of All-Crop videos. I'll be checking them out & you have a new subscriber. Regards.

I recall Dad using one. Good video!

Thanks for The video Great job !!!! Im going to check out all your other video’s 👍🏻🙌🏻

to me its just simply fasinatinty to watch old farm stuff work

I love the video I have never seen one work my grandpap had a one seting around

Combine performed very well. The head had 2 issues. 1st the corn was planted on 30" rows and the head is a 38", because of this the stalks get pushed to the outside and drop ears on the ground. 2nd was that the newer variety of corn is much taller now and the apron could not move the trash away fast enough and I had to slow down or stop so it could clean out.

Excellent video Dennis, excellent.

Amazing a corn head is on there. No many pull types with those. It was handling some pretty heavy corn too!

Honestly that's the rarest Allis-Chalmers I've ever seen I've seen them all with the platform head but never with corn head

Just used mine yesterday. So tomorrow I will repaint it.

WOW! I'm stunned...God help this country...to regain its roots.

very nice video gotta love the old Orange

Nice video

Thanks for posting this great video, will you be picking corn with the matching row spacing?

What is the gauge for that I saw on one of your shots?

A combine like this was designed for 80 maybe 100 bushel corn at the most. Yields have come along ways since the 1950s.

I want one! Never saw a corn head on a pull type combine before. Probably no one else did that.

Nice set up. Don't see very many all crops with corn heads on them. Where in Illinois you from? I live near Geneseo and about 3 miles from Antique Engine and Tractor Association show grounds. I would love to see that outfit working there sometime.

Wonderful video. Is it difficult to install the corn head? What is involved?

Is shelling the corn very hard on the cylinder bars on that combine?

How dry does the con need to be to pick and thrash and do you need a dryer afterwards?

Do you find this type of combine collects more of the grain then the new combines? There seems to be a lot of new grain growing in the fields after the combine is gone today.

Is a one or two row?

If the rows where spaced better to fit the harvester, what percentage do you think this machine could pick?

Wish I had a thousand acres to farm like that

What model AC tractor was that pulling the combine? Good video, great combine.

Wonder what this corn was yielding and is it hybrid corn.

How many horsepower does a PTO need to run this.

Wish it could still all be done that way

Is that a two bushel grain tank.. Lol things sure have came a long way

It's me or the track on the rear wheels is wrong?

Lotta people didn't know you could put a corn head on a 66,... I didn't till a few year's ago,.... the cylinder tach was new to me,.... Allis Chalmer's did stuff like that.......

What is the waste or lost crop with that combine.

Good

Was there anything those old things couldn't handle.? And the incredible simplicity of their design. No wonder people are on the lookout for them today. Their only drawback is that they coouldn't cut a million acres in a day

Is that a 60 or 66 model? I cannot tell. Kudos on this video by the way.

I believe I'd rather have a D 17 on that 2 row head than the D 15.

all the dislikes are people who own john deeres wishing they had an Allis

I used operated the #60 on many acres, but never knew there was a corn head made for it.

I'm thinking that corn should have been planted in 36" or 42" rows.

....And, we don't have to listen to a John Deere 2-cylinder in the background. Our "60" had a Jeep motor on it and was pulled by a Farmall F-20. The carcass is across the road in a stand of trees. RIP

At about 1:48 is that a 7000 parked in the background? If it is , how you like it?

Looks like he's using a D fourteen instead of a D seventeen

You probably didn't have to run to your banker for a loan back in those days for machinery .

This is a scene that will never be real again in Medina Co Tx. All the farms are being chopped up into 5- 15 acre homesites. The local irrigation company is controlled by the city of San Antonio. No more farming, no irrigation, Just greedy real estate agents, raising our taxes with each sale of land.

if you stare at the corn going into the chute, it looks like a bunch of witches getting sucked inside... maybe this is why its always associated with Halloween and witchcraft

Farming would be better off if we were all Farming 360 acres and going to town on Saturday night.

I like those machines and if anyone can employ me as farm machinery operator I'll be the happiest man ever so if anybody is interested please contact me we talk

Think you would have better luck you had planted in thirty six or thirty right inch rows endstead of thirty inch rows.

quite ovious he cant follow a row and over steering constantly otherwise a good demonstration

She ain't pretty, but sure gets the job done.

This machine was made when the land and its crops actually paid for itself and the machines used on it, unlike today, where farmers get checks from the government just for existing. Now farmers' incomes are based on the number of acres they farm instead of the crops they produce. That's why little farmers are in trouble, and big farmers buy $500,000 combines, and the small, affordable machines like these are no longer made. Don't believe me? Try $14 an acre (what the fed pays) times $5,000 acres. Mr. Big Farmer gets $70,000 of our taxes! He can afford to lose a middle class income and still live middle class, all while producing no profit from his farm! The small farmer can't lose anything, because a 200 acre farm will get only $2,800. That's socialized agriculture in America. We need to stop this farmer racket and let them earn a living based on their product and abilities, so they''ll grow something we actually want to buy (not more soybeans!) and the small farm will have a chance once again.
