Rudolph, WI | Dad used to have a pull type JD 25 combine with a 4 cyl. gas. I think it had a 5 foot grain head and used a canvas feed instead the auger feed that was used on the model 30. I remember Dad combining oats with it until about the mid 1970's. Also used it for harvesting alfalfa, clover and timothy seed. Wish I had some pics, but I think you might be able to find some videos on youtube. |

SW Saskatchewan | JD started with the 1 and made several models, including the Holt models. I believe the only pull type versions without a motor were the 6601, 7701,7721 and 9550.
Though I wouldn't doubt engine versions were made of adapted for Amish customers. |

NW Washington | John Deere made thousands of 6 foot cut Model 12 and 12A combines and a lot of them had "auxiliary" engines that powered the combines. In the days before live PTO and tractors with from 3 to 6 speeds running a PTO combine was a little tricky. Here is a You-Tube of a JD 12A with an auxiliary engine. I think the engine is the same engine that was used in the littlest JD tractor at that time, the LA.
The other brands of farm equipment had similar engine powered combines from about 5 feet up to 12 feet or more.

Ea. Washington | John Deere made pull type combines back in the twentys and thirtys up untill the late fourtys. Most popular was the 36 JD hillside which had a 20 ft header and was powered by a JXC Herc engine. Actually didn't invent it but acquired the patten from Holt- Cat back in the day. Check out this video of three of the most popular pull machines. The red one is a Harris 30-38, the orange one is a Case V-2 and the Green one is a JD 36-B. All were powered by the Herc JXC. We do this Vintage Harvest every fall the weekend before Labor day and have 5 machines running now including a 51 International and an older MCormic Deering. If you want more info call 509-721-0130. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBhved_BkyY

High Springs, Florida | My dad used to have a 12A, and I think it had a Wisconsin V-4 on it. I know the old side delivery wire tie baler had Wisconsin V-4 on it, can't remember if the combine did. |

northwest missouri | We had a 12A when I was growing up - they had a 2 cyl JD motor the same one that was in the LA tractor as JohnW above said. I think it was about 14 hp worked good except was a bear to start if you shut it off hot. I thought about buying it back to restore when we had farm sale to divide Dad's estate, a neighbor bought it for his son to restore and as far as I know he still has it but hasn't begun restoration - the motor only had a few hours on overhaul at the time and was not stuck - wish I had bought it back. |

| We had a 12A back in the day,dad bought it to get in on the Ky31 Fescue boom. Paid for it the first season then the price of Fescue seed went to nothing. They called Fescue the Wonder Grass back then.It had a 2 cylinder Jd gas engine and a sacker instead of a grain tank. A person rode the combine and sacked the grain. a trough attachment let you carry several sacksfull on the combine and a rope trip would release the sacks that way you could pick them up without driving all over the field. Pulled it with an A Farmall untill they got an H in 1950. I sacked wheat on the rig when I was about 12 Hot Dirty job as I remember. |

ECIL | Wow, does that bring back a few memories. My Dad used to have one when I was a child. I can recall him working on it in early fall to prep for harvest. Used it for soybeans. He didn't have a shed for it so it stored under a tree. The engine was always a chore to get started the first time each year but ran great. Eventually the canvas rotted out and rust took over so it went to the scrap yard. He wished he kept the engine. IIRC the hopper held 40 bushels. |

Northern Idaho | For hillside combines here in the west they made the model 36 combine and the smaller versions the 33 and 35. They bought the model 36 from caterpillar in 1936. Cat made them starting in 1926. JD made the 36 until 1951. They made the model 35 from 1936-41. Not sure on the 33.
We have an old JD 35 sitting down by the barn. Used it from 1950 to 1961, it is a 1941 model with a 14ft header. Pulled with a D4 cat which we still have. The 36 combines were bigger and usually pulled with a D6 sized crawler. Hardly ever saw any pulled with wheel tractors. Pulling the combine was apparently the hottest job during wheat harvest because you were sitting between the engine on the cat and the one on the combine plus no shade from the sun.
The first four pics are of our 35 in its present day condition, you had to pull a lever by hand to keep the combine level, heard a story about the neighbors almost tipping one over because the hired hand threw the lever the wrong way on a hillside.
Last two pics are not mine.
Next one is the model 36 but it was still owned by cat and not JD at the time I believe, an old cletrac crawler is pulling it.
Last one is a model 33 pulled by a D4 in 1967, a few of these pull types ran into the 70s.

S.E. IL | Galvanized John Deere combine? That's interesting. |
|
| |
|
Ea. Washington | Cat and Holt combines were all galvanized, maybe some early JD. Should have made them all this way, the old galvanized ones sitting around are still in pretty good shape. Painted ones setting outside are mostly junk. |
