Ya'll may not know this Mr Hammer but 3 or 4 breakdowns with an old combine is wonderfully good and seems to me to be incident free. This will truly help you to be a better man who fixes things with his hands. Don't ever say something like, "I'm not a good mechanic". Be positive ya'll can figure it out, it is nothing but a stupid machine that will sit and rust away without YOUR magic to have it serve humanity.

we used to have a 55 I used to ride in the back seed bin when I was around 5 years old, I still have all 9 toes

Shalom! I am very happy to see that your big green machine is working. Seeing you out there gathering up the fescue makes farming and critters rangling a true blessing. Thank you for sharing with us, I send your vids to my son and grandsons. Thank you and be blessed.

Great Job...Good to see the Ol' Combine out there working (with a lil fixing here and there) She did her job pretty dang good 👍👍👍👍👍

Beautiful drone footage. Through the wonders of technology, that 20th century piece of equipment is featured in a 21st century You Tube production.

Good for you, keeping your eye on opportunities to expand you operation.

A few years ago all we had to cut hay was a Farmall cub with a 5 foot sickle. We have grown to alot bigger operation now(still only about 100 acres) but I have had to make a few new pitman arms and literally have the original in the safe as a template lol. Hold it likes its gold and put it up when you make a new one! Good video!

Thanks for posting 😀😀😀

NJ It looks really clean. We ran an old 45 back in the day....

If you still have the combine mount the coil upright. There is a screw in the centre tower that can leak oil from the coil and it will over heat. Make sure the points are clean and gapped right and maybe test or replace the condenser regularly. The cap and wires need to be clean and free of oil so there is no ignition arcing. Its old reliable ignition and easy to look after. Treat yourself to a 12volt test light from walmart. Its very handy.

Awesome video once more, very good infor and hope your get your fields done

Great job and nice to see you back on again. I missed watching your post. Next time you have to look for used parts, see if you can find a fan. Something so small as a fan can make your day a lot better for you. Hope to see you on more and have a great day !!

Hockey stick paddle ! Cool !

Good video. Nice hockey stick

Nice old machine keep it going

Great background music

My neighbor used to grow 300acres of rough fescue for seed and he baled all the straw in big squares and for a few years I bought his year old straw in the spring and it worked good. Too bad the seed companies sell it for $3/lb but you get $0.61/lb.

And I love your vids. Peace.

Much better than the new ones with all the electronics to mess up

Im from missouri as well! Everything breaks around here seems like! 🤣🤣🤣

Where do you sell the seed at? Also do you hay after harvesting the seed?

Tractor supply and Northern Hydraulics has some car fans about 6" with a switch they cost about $15.00 wire right to the battery or tie in somewhere in the cab they work great Good Luck

I just so something looks like your idler sprocket should be on top of chain pushing down on the chain to keep it tight talking about the one next to the pitman arm not sure but you might want to look at it might save sprocket s and chain

Nice video, beautiful combine , im from Brazil

And you said it wouldn't work hahahaha...Cut that fescue... You got gps on that thing.lol...

So cool to see that machine operating! Awesome work Isaac. Any plans for the waste, ie can it be baled?

What was the yield per acre? Love seeing these old machines running. I know it can be a handful to keep them up. I am in the middle of buying my 8820 Titan 2 I sold in 1999. I plan on getting it back into service as a backup machine to my 9600

The grass will you bale it or combine it again.

In your one video that I watched you said that here in Missouri a lot of fescue is raised and that might be a little bit true but as far as the hayfields goes I have mainly seen Timothy Hay for alfalfa fescue mix which is mainly cut for bailing up. The forward most part everywhere I've been in Missouri and which I am from Missouri lived here all my life I drove trucks all around the whole state of Missouri before I retired and I mainly have seen cornfields wheat fields soybean fields Milo fields. And either Timothy Hay or alfalfa fescue mix hey fields. I personally don't know any farmer that raises fescue for harvesting fescue seed only. So I'm just wondering what part of Missouri are you from. And who do you sell your fescue seeds to? If a plumber was interested in raising fescue for seed only who do they contact in order to sell their seeds to? That's the part that you left out in your video when you was talking about raising fescue for a seed and selling it for extra cash.

Just subscribed. Where you at I'm Mo?

Nice ol combine. Would you want a 1969 model 55 hydrostatic?

I farm about 600 acres of grass seed western oregon out here we cut the grass in rows and use a pickup heater to thrash it I have a video at craig tw-20 check out sometime

How many acres of land you got

wow what a body lol to bad Im old enough to be ya grand pa,just kiddin .Hope that things starts working good for ya ,another great video ,love you mate keep them comming ,hugs till next time.

I just got a 1967 45 square back open station in mint condition not running with corn and grain heads for $450 btw I also live in Missouri and we’ve been getting close to 70 for our seed

Do you sell the grain for seed grass or do you feed it to your cows?

I worked all summer when I was in high school to pay for a 95 it was sure a good one

At first glance while running it looks like you are going way too fast over the ground with that small seed. I may be wrong but that is fast even for wheat.

Glad to see you got her in the field. No bad on brake down!!!!! For a machine that old! Modern machines have same problem plus some! Taker slow and lots of lube!

I mean this jokingly,but you should've called the video.." You can't polish a turd". I would've giving up on the fourth breakdown. Best of luck in the future with that old Combine. Thank,you for sharing. Take care.

The gears are extremely worn. You should probably also check the play in your chains. If there is a lot of 'play', then those need to be replaced too. The more worn your chains are, the faster your gears will degrade. ...also, keep the chains lubed. I love that you're working with the old girl.

Brasil 💪🤠

might slow down a bit, you do not want to break the stub shaft that drives the auger in the header. been there done that, they dont exist.

TW-20 Craig

You should take up the left overs and bale them

Do you have any seed for sale?

Looks like you might be running a little too fast the reason you're having trouble with your sickle

Who all is going to the Missouri state Fair this year DM me if you are @butyenekbrett

man you better put on a mask

Too bad she croaked

It's an old piece of s*** machine what do you expect not to break yeah okay
