Watching this brings back a lot of memories. For a number of years we ran one Green, One Red and one Orange (Allis-Chalmers rather than case). Spent many a Fall day, and many nights as well - when it stayed warm enough that the dew didn't form and we could keep going all night long - throughout the 60's into the late 70's on a 1959 round back, open station JD95, while my brothers (and for a number of years, my mother) ran the International Harvester 181, and an Allis-Chalmers SP-100. Even though it was pure torture on these open station machines when the wind wasn't cooperating and the chaff & straw were so thick you couldn't breathe without a bandana tied over your face...I miss those days dearly; maybe because it felt so good when you could finally quit for a few hours, and take a shower & get a couple hours of sleep before it was time to get the machines greased-up, fueled-up, and ready to hit it hard again. The old open station machines we had were eventually replaced by a New Holland 980 and a couple JD7700's with cabs...then by a few JD8820's...and over the past 40 years - the newest, biggest machines John Deere had to offer. It's hard to explain to youngsters today what farming was like 50+ years ago, before air conditioned & heated cabs, navigation systems, self-leveling platforms, grease banks (a lot of folks don't know what it's like to find all 50 to 80 zerk fittings on some of these old vintage combines)...even running a machine with reliable BRAKES!...just like it was hard for my Father and uncles to explain to my generation what it was like pitching shocks into a threshing machine pulled to the field by horses and run off a long belt from a Steam Tractor or stationary steam engine 60 or 70 feet away.

I have a John Deere 6600 and I love using it for wheat harvest, I can’t imagine how much fun using one of those would be.

I was 7 years when me anda my dad used to harvest with equipment just like that. He had 2 machínes just like the two first ones on this video. This is worth my tears!! Lovely ❤️

Bonjour, JD 55 pour l'époque était déjà moderne: chauffeur au milieu de la machine, commande de scie par un roulement oscillant. En France peu connue, comme Case. IH était répandue= premier grand réseau dans tout le pays mais la 151 avait en concurrence Massey-Harris , mon père a eu une 780S en 1956, moteur Chrysler ou Austin 6 cylindres essence. En France il y avait aussi Claas et Clayes devenue aujourd'hui New-holland vers 1961 ces 2 marques ont devancé les ventes: robustesse et fiabilité. La Clayes 103 une grande réputation de débit de moisson puis la 122 ,135,140. John Deere en moissonneuse-batteuse est apparu surtout après 1967( fabriquées en allemagne): 430, 530,630,730: un bon début de ventes. Si IH n'aurait pas développé les Axiales: ils auraient perdu la bataille......Elles sont encore en 4° place des vente et bonne réputation de simplicité et solidité, actuellement.

these old machines are amazing

The world needs more of THIS, instead of the other event, for old combines.

The core of America and heart

My grandfather had 4 55,s in Calif. He harvested wheat, milo, corn, ect..., i remember them well.

Love seeing those old combines in action

We had a 151 on the farm back in the 80's. Reliable machine.

so awesome.......amazing what we use today.

I miss our 55 combine

Had an international 101 and a case 660 combine spent a lot of time with the grain dust running down my neck.

well that is old--but I rode a bagger unit--then picked up bags--misery

Krásne video Seattle je dobrý súdruh na verejnosti radšej len v Mengusovce Jánovce Vernár Vikartovce Tatranská Štrba okres Poprad prešovský samosprávny kraj a Poľska!😥

When the whole word goes to hell we will be using these old machines again..

Old oddities to us High Tech for their day!

Where was this video recorded? The buttes in the background look familiar.

Hello super video. I've got a question how many hectar did you harvest whit this set-up?

Why was the jd operator only cutting half a cutter bar full and putting the walker row through ? Seems silly when the others are taking a plfull width.

So it shoots the berries out the back then you go 'round with like a rake attachment or something?

my grandpa had a 203 ih
