Wow...what an awesome find! Thanks for bringing this to us. That farmer deserves a medal for having old equipment looking that pristine and still functioning...not just parade pieces. I have so much respect for farmers who run older stuff and manage to keep it nice.

This machine may be antiquated by today's standard but in the 1960's it was a farmer's dreams come true.

That's harvesting just like the good old days😉👍 he will not have any problems with sensors👍😁 thanks for the video👍👍

My dad had 2 different 95's, one was an early model and the last was a 1969 model. The newer one was the first combine I ran and man did we put the hours on it. A neighbor had a 105 diesel and boy were we jealous of that.

Beautiful machine. It's in pristine condition and still going strong. I'd absolutely love to harvest with that JD 105 for a day. What an experience that would be for sure!! Thank you Jason 😊.

My parents ran 2 of these combines when I was a kid on our farm in the Peace River country. Always enjoyed harvest time, lots of memories! Thanks Jason!

Man oh man. I have said it before, and will say it again, there is nothing that compares to a BTP video showcasing vintage equipment like this!!! This may be my personal favorite of all you've done. The sound of that 6-cylinder gas, the sound of the unloading auger....all fond memories of when I rode around in one as a kid. I can remember when we upgraded from a 95 to a 105....really thought it was a step up. Soon after we added a 7700 gas. I would ride with mom in the 105...was always scared to climb that ladder up to the cab as a little kid, but eventually got the hang of it. It had an aftermarket rooftop A/C unit, which would sometimes work 4-5 days in a row without needing some sort of repair. We did a lot of swathing of durum wheat back then, and I can remember her working the clutch to ease in to bunches the swather had made on the corners, etc. I believe there was a diesel hydro available in the very last model years.... Thanks again, Jason. Yet one more incredible trip down memory lane. Both mom and dad gone now, but many harvest memories.

I used to ride in the cab, just like the boy in this video. That kid will have some very fond memories later in his life!

Back in the day that was a big horse, most guys ran 95's. The farm I worked on had a IH 503. Got to love the fixed auger, had to watch out for power poles! Always cleaned the auger out so if you had a few feet to the end of the row you could turn it on and hold a few more bushels!

Our neighbor had one of these. Dad hired him to combine oats and shell corn for us as we transitioned away from ear corn. It was MASSIVE for the day. I loved it.

Fun to watch an older line of grain machinery being productive. Thank you.

Awesome video. Brings back memories watching this 105 working. We had a 105 on the family farm for many years.

Love seeing the old equipment still being used. I especially enjoyed seeing the 2510 tractor hooked up to the grain cart.

We had one for years! It was always breaking down as it was wore out. Used to fall asleep in it with my dad on late nights. Rebuilt the top end of the motor when I was 12 because mice put beans in the cylinders. Good memories.

We had a 55 and 3 row 313 corn head in the late 70s . It was our first combine with a cab , seemed like quite a step up. Thanks for your video on the 105 , great memories.

I loved the 105. We used ours for years. It was a tuft machine and very reliable.

Hey, at least it's paid for... well almost anyway. 😃 The combines of today, you can't even hope to pay them off in your lifetime. Seeing these machines still running is a testament to how well farm equipment was made back in the day. - Dave

Wow.....what a line up of classic John Deere equipment. Probably sill got the 494 planter parked in the shed, that or something similar to still be planting in 38 in rows.

We ran a 105 for many years harvesting soybeans in Louisiana. A rugged machine that was relatively simple and easy to work on. Great times working with my Dad, hard work but I wouldn't trade those memories for anything.

I'm thumbs up #586! Great video! Can you believe John Deere used to build a combine that looked like that? Wow it's so much different than the 4400, 9600, 9770, 780, or x9. This is so cool to see this farmers 1960's period correct combine, 4020 tractor & grain cart. It brings you back to a day many many years ago. I hope it makes it to a movie someday, his equipment looks great.

I remember our neighbor had one of these new in 1969. It was quite the machine back then in our area.

My daddy had a 44 open cab and cab 45 😢love that old steel 🇺🇸✊🏾

Great video! I grew up on a farm in WNY in the 50s. They had the latest and greatest...a two-row pull behind corn sheller pulled with a Farmall H. In muddy conditions, they would put half tracks on a Farmall MD and pull the H. Later in life, I worked on a large grain farm here in WNY. We had primarily 4WD tractors to work the fields and 7700 JohnDeere combines for harvesting. It was quite a step up to move from the 2-row machine to 6 rows, then to 8 rows on an IH 1480 rotary. Now, after I retired from construction, I'm back at the same farm using computer system farming with 40-foot planters and a Case IH 8230 combine with a 40-foot grain head and a 12-row corn head. I look back at the evolution over the last 60 years and wonder, if we are still here, where will agriculture be in the next 60.

Thanks for showing the vintage equipment working Jason, that’s quite a find. I well remember when the 105 was the big horse in JD’s lineup. Around our area during this time were mostly 55s, a few 45s, and a 95. No 105s that were capable of (6) 30 inch rows of corn as the migration to ‘narrow rows’ was early in the game. Now I see 20” rows too.

Looks like he had his own field of dreams there! Nothing looks better than the old Deere combines with the yellow tops on a sunny day!

The capacity and speed is mind blowing. I think we are witnessing harvest capabilities at its technological peak. I just can’t imagine the human race improving or matching this machines efficiency ever.

I grew up with a JD #55. I think it was the first of the series. A #45 followed, then a #95, and finally #105. We used the #55 to harvest seed crops (primarily). It was open station - we did build a roof for shade. We ran it for six straight weeks, late June to early August. It had a belt pickup because the crop was swathed beforehand. The header was 12 ft wide, wider than we wanted, but all that was available. The tank was about 45 bushels, but we added an extension, making it about 65. The unloading auger folded in half, along a horizontal axis. The transmission was three speed (not four), with the V-belt, variable sheave pulley system. The side of the machine with the ground drive and flat-belt beater drive was fully open, no shield. We only used spike tooth cylinder (28" wide?), not rasp bar. The engine was about 50 hp(?), but I do know it was a 6 cylinder Hercules, gas powered (no combines had diesel). Our typical speed was 2nd gear, bottom of the range, about 1.5 mph. I heavy crop, 1st gear, near the top of the range. It was unusual for its time with "sealed" bearings that were greased once per season. It replaced two Case A6 pull-type combines, with bagging station.

To me the real star of the video is what looks to be a john deere 68 auger wagon...

Nice video. We had a 1966 JD95 squareback. We used it in wheat and milo (sometimes with a Hesston Headhunter for downed milo). We had corn too, but I don't remember that we ever used it in corn, or even had a corn header for it. Love to see any of these vintage combines from the 1950s - 1970s cutting wheat.

In 1971, I drove the basic machine from Centerville Md. to LaPlata Md. across the Cheasapeak Bay Bridge. Took an hour to cross the bridge.

thanks for this amazing video, it brought back so many memories of our 95 combine. i love to watch your channel with the mix of old and new!!!!!

That is a beautiful machine. Hard to believe that back in the day that was a big combine. I am glad to see that machine out in the field. I remember riding with my uncle in a 45, then 55 John Deere. No heat, small cab. It was fun to think of those days.

Have to say that’s one of the best. Good too see some old John Deere,s out in the field working .

I bet he doesn’t listen to a bunch of sensors going off all day. Lol. 😂.

I've ran a John Deere 9660 STS Bullet Rotor combine and I really like it. I ran a John Deere 7800 with a 740 Classic Loader on it to pull an A&L F705 700 bushel grain cart for corn harvest. My boss's son ran the 9660 STS Bullet Rotor combine and used an 893 8 row 30 inch spaced corn head with hydraulic deck plates.

I was great to see that lil tyke in the cab waving, the future of that farm hopefully, making memories he will never forget.

Very fond memories, my favorite was the 55. That's only because my father and uncle started me on it in 1965 when I was 10yrs old. Boy was I proud. Still today I'm operating a combine, so much different then they were back then. I'm still a John Deere lover on a S 770 machine.

Literally just sold one. First combine I was ever in, as it was my job to get her running after forever in the pole barn. She is being sold to work again !

That’s awesome to see it’s still working in the field as it was designed to pretty interesting shape Field too I’ve never seen one quite like that

Awesome thanks for sharing this vintage combine still earning its keep on the farm.

Awesome to see a giant that old so well kept and continuing to run in the field.

The 105 had an 8 row head option JD 812. Ours had an intermediate chain feeder house with extra cost of $750. We had 400 acres that averaged 167 bu of dry corn. The popular cart was a Big 12 400 bu grain cart made in Lubbock. The first 105 I rode in was at Stratford Texas owned by "Buddy Miller" in fall of 1960 or 61.

This is in my neck of the woods! Thanks for representing farming in Wisconsin.

That’s cool. We had a 55EB we used for beans. For corn we ran the 545 Oliver. Great video!

Those were some really good machines back in the day. Good to see this one still going to work.

I ran one of these in high school and later. It was totally worn out and made me a pretty good mechanic. I replaced chains, belts and learned to diagnose problems with it. I was glad to see it go and was replaced with a new 7700 deere.

Glad to see the old iron still alive!! My uncle had a 105 with a bean platform. The only time I ever seen it leave the shed was when my dad got it running because it was sold to a new owner in 1996.. The new owner bought it to pull the diesel motor and put it in his 4020.

Wow, that brings back memories. The farmer I worked for back in High School had a JD 105. We used it to cut rice and soybeans.

Fantastic. This video literally takes us back to the the 60s on the farm.

My dad had a JD 105 hydrostatic that we combined with in the 70s. I bought a 6 row 30in row crop bean head to replace the grain table since we did not raise wheat, it worked great. The hydrostatic drive was much better than the sheve drive on the JD 55 he had before that. We upgraded to a used JD 7700 towards the end of the 70s. It had the sheve drive. I sure missed the hydrostatic drive. But, I liked the 7700 machine operation better.

Sweet video love to watch these old combines I have a 95cs in central neb would love to find one that is low hr and was stored inside... But picked 5 grain tank fulls 500 bushels of corn with it this fall. 2022 and had a blast doing it... 303 gas... Found a hydro 95 I wanna put a 329 in it but been sitting out since 95 next project I got and hopefully. Can make happen!!!! Awesome vid looking for more old combines..

Hey Big tractor power. I have a 5 month old son who watches your videos. When he gets mad we turn on one of your videos and he calms down and watches intently. He first rode a tractor with my father in law and has been mesmerized with them since then.he doesn’t Rouen cartoon tractors he wants to watch real ones.

I enjoy the old equipment and the new. But the old is back in my generation.

Don’t see too many combines that old an in that nice shape we have a 79 4400 jd an they changed a lot from that one keep up the good work always enjoy your video s

That was quite a machine when it came out. It's in great shape yet. Very cool.

Great video , amazing piece of equipment , thank you , stay safe , very enjoyable ! Memories !

What amazes me is the 105 was Deere’s king of the hill back in the 60s, and a well equipped one with a 16’ platform and a 6 row picker head could be had for less than 20K. Now your gonna spend well over a million for Deere’s largest combine and two heads. I’ll take the 1960s equipment over the monstrous we farm with today. Although a cab with heat and A/C is nice.

Pinnacle of John deere combines!

Wow. Gotta love the old gear still getting it done

Great video Jason. That fella is a close friend of ours 👍👍

Great video. We used 96 JD pull type. Upgraded from 65 JD. Thought we hit the big time!

That’s a very nice classic combine with the tractor and cart to go with, good ole iron

Before retiring Pop's last combine was a 95 Corn Special with a 4 row 30" corn head. On the auction it sold for $1625 with the corn head and a 15 foot bean head. 1255 hours was all it had on it, 1968 model. His 1967 4020 with 1900 hours brought $2995. This would have been in 1974.

👋 hey 👋 from Dexter,Missouri Super awesome video. Have a super awesome night🌉 Be safe.

That's a great find. A farmer north of Logansport IN is still shelling corn with a eary 70s Ford combine. On the plus side at least there paid for.

Really nice combine, especially for it's age. Seems to run really well. I appreciate older combines. I harvest my corn, oats, and soybeans each year with a JD 4400 which still gets the job done here in western PA.

Beautiful old working combine!

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy watching the older machines. How does the 4400 compare?

Gotta luv the unloading auger rubbing on the standing corn!!

We had a 105 for a long time and I think it was just as good as the 6600 we got. It had a four row head and a 16 foot grain platform

Now that’s really neat 👍👍

Super video!! Génial !!

In past years in combined small grains with the 105s little brother the 95B, stepped up to the 6600 followed by my 7700 turbo that I still combine with today.

In the UK back then JD had the 430, 530, 630 and 730 combines. We ran a 5 walker 730 for several years.

I remember seeing a couple of these machines sell at auction for more money than 6600 in the same sale. I'm certain that they were diesel hydrostatic models that had been converted to use quick attach heads, but there still had to be farmers willing to pay a premium for them to get it

When I was about 12 years old I remember our 4H Summer farm tour went to a farm that had just bought one of these. I can't remember if it was 6 or 4 rows, but we though it was just unbelievable. Most people just had corn pickers back then.

Perfect combination with the 4010 and auger cart.

Nice!

That was the biggest combine in its day. My dad traded a 55 JD for a 105 JD. He wished JD had just widened the machine to get bigger capacity than going to the 4400-7700 series. The 105 was simple and easy to repair. The newer versions not so much.

I loved seeing that he had a John Deere tractor as well as grain cart

Nice old machine and oddly shaped field, I'd say that's a good combination

Cut small grain with the JD 95 B combine for several years, still know of three operational 95B and one 105 tracked combine now parked in barns!

Wow! Love it!

Very cool ,how did this model compare capacity wise to an IHC 503 ?

Love those old machines. I wander what the grain loss is on a old machine like this?

Wow your channel is awesome as always. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍

Not many around in that condition. Used to be a lot of 105s around when I was a kid in the Texas rice country.

Sungguh luar biasa tekhnologi modern saat ini, mantap 👍👍👍👍

We had 2 55 corn specials good machines hardly any breakdowns

I just finished rebuilding a 1971 jd 630, it had lived in the corner of a barn in 30 years so a lot of work. It is build in germany and I live in denmark, har to get parts as the local john deere dealer dont have Any info on it, i was wondering if the 530,630 and 730 only was build in Europe?

friend used a 105 jd combine to harvest oats for us back in the 1980s.

have a friend between boyden and sheldon iowa has a 15 jd combine.he made a feederhouse reverser for it.

What other OEM combines compare in the era of the 105?

Is this a nostalgic set up or actually an every day use for the farm?

What was the year and model of the John Deere tractor? What was the year of the John Deere auger wagon and its capacity. How many 105 combines did John Deere sell in its 8 years years of production?

Combines & other farm machinery have come a long way. Now they can practically drive themselves

I remember being the kid in the cab watching the corn being cut and thinking how big that combine seemed to me.

John P Halpin and sons I believe sold only 1 of the 105 combines. Big sellers 95 and 55 models.

How much does that corn head weigh? My dad liked buying 3 row corn heads...that we put on the trailer with a come along. He claimed those weighed 3 1/2 ton

Nice video
