Drove one of these for many years in the 70's

Yes older folks know more than this generation will ever will about working.

Guys like your grandpa are a wealth of experience and knowledge.

Owned and ran. 95 in the 70s. Chevy gas engine. Put a good sample in the 80 bu tank. Fan in the upper right corner of the cab blew dirty air on you. Different world from my S670! Memories.....

Hearing final drive whine brought back memories. Also split doors,if bottom door was closed, top open for air,then closing top door and not placing fingers just right,a finger nail would be lost.

I remember operating a 105 one year cutting beans for a farmer in North Monroe County Alabama. I think it was 1977. Hearing it start up with that belt slapping brought back a ton of memories.

Oh man lots of memories watching the old 105. I used to run a 105 as a kid. Ran a 4 row corn header and went as fast as the engine had power to run it.

My Dad had two 105's and we ran them for months every harvest. Barley , spring wheat, in July and August then millet, flax and finally sunflowers usually in November. Started running them when I was 9 years old.

At 9:30, it’s funny how you remember the distinct sound of the final drive gear whine, especially when you pull back on the variable speed with the sound of that in-line six engine!

I love those combines from 45 on up

when every thing was still metal. i would love to run one of those. there simple and it seems like you could really enjoy it.

My first combine was a 95EB. Hydrostatic Drive. Man I was awesome

Like how you respect your grandpa

I really like the older farm equipment run on the farms I'm a big John Deere fan Happy holidays and stay safe from covid

brings back so many memories when i used to run a ole 45 and 95 thank yall so much keep her running

We started off with an old 95 dad kept it and Bought a 105. Both had four row heads, and we could combine five rows of beans. both were awesome combines

Hi it's Don my first combine I ran was a 105 brings back the good old days ! Nice Drone footage tell your grandpa hang on to that machine you don't see them around anymore .

105 runs pretty sweet.

Really cool to see that little guy still working 🙂

The smile on your granddad,s face was priceless!!!! As proud of that machine as the day it was new!!! And him telling how to operate it. Pride!!!!!! Thanks for making this video! My Granddad always wanted a Deere combine got a used 6600 and the a used 7720 when I was younger. Spent alot of hours with him in the cab!!! I bought a couple of 40 Deeres with 10' grain heads. Granddad was so happy to see me cut wheat with it. He's gone now but have the memories!!!!! Thanks a bunch!!!!

Amazing classic John Deere combine in action! Mike from Missouri

I love this video thanks so much🤠❤️

Love the old machine. That you for the video

Had a 105 for about 10 years from the early’90s to the early 2000’s, nice combine in it’s day.

That dust ain't bad... Try running a 45 open station... lol.

Good to see some still running out there. We have two 105s (one diesel and other is gas) and a 95 diesel. The 105 diesel has hydrostatic drive. Not very common I'm sure.

I also have a bin extension on my parts 95 that will also work on a 105 you just spread it out to wider holes to fit the 105 bin.

Another great video! Sure was great seeing you guys run in Rantoul again.

Nice 105, we had a 1967 55 with a 235 two-row head when I was younger...

That's handy dandy nice

I ran a 105 open cab in a rice field over a summer when I was a kid. Ran it about 3 days and had enough and quit lol

I have a 69 105 hydro diesel. Ran a 40 series 8R22” on it. Held 143 Bu dry corn with factory ext. had to dump in old gravity box. Unload Auger couldn’t get over side of hopper trailer.

You should get a 4 row 30 inch head for it. Love the video. That combine brought back some great memories and times.

Last combine my dad owned was a 105 corn special. I wonder how different things would be if John Deere had never switched away from the cab being mounted in the middle.

Took me a minute to realize the in-cab video was flipped! I was like why the hell would they out the clutch on the right lol

She's a beaut!

We did all our corn with a New Idea picker and a New Idea picker sheller.

I used my grandfather's JD 95 combine to harvest 250 acres of corn with a three row header from 1970 - 2000. my mom bought a new JD combine in 1995 and quit raising corn. I am sad since both mom and dad passed on before they sold the farm for 2- 300,000 sq ft+ shopping centers.

Nice video! Looks like the unloading auger just barely reaches the sides of the semi 😆

had a head like that on a 4400 seeing you adjust brought back memories what machine are you running in corn farmer john

Man that's a rare combine. I own a John Deere 45EB Combine.

Love it I did subscribe🤠

friend of mine had two 105,s only drawback was that drag chain under cyl other than that they were bullit proof

What was the capacity on the graintank? Corn quality looked gre at. And ground speed? 2.5 mph?.Never seen one run..My first was 7700 with 843 loved that old girl..keep up the great work !

Hey man is that a diesel 105? I own 3 95s 1 corn special. Then 2 55s I love these machines really want a 105 cs one day!

The inverted view really throws you for a loop

Is this a diesel 105? Expanded wire for a bin extension would be so pro.

Our neighbor found someone who would swap out his 105 gas engine for, I believe, a 4020 Diesel engine. They DID ❤️ gasoline‼️

What amazing content your channel is great do you allow people to watch your plow days just asking we don’t live to far away

LOVE this video. The quote "she's a dandy" made me smile. I attended HS in Belleville IL, but am from Nebraska. Is that 105 a diesel? My dad had a 95, but our wheat acreage (and his 3 drills pulled by a 4wd Wagner tractor) was way ahead of what even a 105 could do, so he hired custom cutters to take off some of our wheat. He did start growing corn, but I don't think he had a corn header for the 95, so I'm not sure how we harvested that. The inside the cab shots are great, but it seems like the video is backwards (things that are supposed to be on the right are on the left, etc).

Last combine we owned was john deer 45 wished I had a 105 th I s is Leon gainous from CAIRO ga

Have you ever measured your crop loss out the back , it would be interesting to know and compare to the new combines .

Working on reviving a gas 105 Corn Special with 435 corn attachment. Glad to see Sunny Grove isn't the only ones still playing with old combines. We have a 45 and 95EB as well. The 95 was responsible for our wheat harvest this year

👍

I ran an international 403 without a cab.

I'm not a Deere man but a video like this inspires me to look for a nice Gleaner G or CII. Been some nice ones I've passed on with no shed space but I could rent space or been thinking on building a 50 or 80 foot extension to my shop. Even if I tarped one for awhile, better than the scrappers gobbling them up. I do have an E that I've had since 1988 or so. Also have an L2 and R52 but they aren't toys.

“I think she’s a dandy” 😂

What year is the 105? What would happen if you harvested 30-inch rows?

Man, those choppers are just right out there, ready to decapitate! 🤯

My Grandpa had a 45 eb.

That 105 is giant when you run a 40

Is that the original corn head, or is that a newer generation corn head? Looks like the same corn head as the 4400.

I don’t know the story behind them. But there are 4 of these JDs lined up in the fence row on I 80 mile marker 17ish in PA. Maybe if you are looking for a project?

at 2:12 or so, I don't any safety stands down. I think my 105 had them

How did you get the mirror image???

Does that 105 have a diesel motor?

We ran a 105 diesel hydro for 15 years. Pump was set up max with a second radiator to keep it cool. Shelled a bunch of 200+ BPA corn pushing a 643 corn head. Shelling corn we would remove the bottom screen, tailings elevator belt and cover the tailings auger trough. We had a speed up pulley for the clean grain elevator. In really good corn we could put 1000 bushels an hour through it in a long field with an auger wagon.

i meant in beans

2:56 'What the...?' And at 8:09. Might wanna have a chat with your editor. Still, enjoyed the content. Thanks!

When they were real combines
