I see a couple on Tractorhouse that appear to be, this one is in central Nebraska. In the pictures it has a really wide stance though...

You know, I did look at the pic, and thought maybe he just hit the 7 instead of the 6...but that wide stance gives it away...
It may be a transplant from close by (ie, Washington, etc)...and I bet those tires were replaced with R1's, as most have the "knobby" tires for hillside work. I always wondered why hillside has the knobby tires...and finally, someone told be it was a slippage problem sideways...They will hold the ground better on Slick Wheat straw better than cleats.
And to add to this, My latest combine came directly from Nebraska...a 4425 that looks new to this day....I believe it was never in the rain a day in its life. And even with sheds, "here" that is hard to achieve with those summer showers that can creep up...so far, I have managed to keep it that way.

Hilside machine, but Im not so sure that is like the hillside machines I have seen. The one I remember was very tall off of the ground so it had space to pivot side to side on sidehills.

Subject: RE: 1470 Case Combine

The 1470 hillside combine was built at East Moline as basically a flat-land 1460 (only spec'd out differently) and shipped to RAHCO in WA for conversion to the final hillside configuration.

Some of the last 1470s never made it to WA for the conversion and ended up sold to retail customers as oddball regular flat-land combines. That's one of them.

The first year for hillside combine production was 1980. The last year (1670) might have been '89 or so. 100-300 were built each year.

A true 1470 has RWA, R3 diamond tread knobby tires, cutouts in the side panels for tire clearance and the operators ladder goes down the backside of the LH drive tire.

1470 is hillside was a story on them. Something like they sold a few then had extras and sold them at the 1460 price. I'm sure someone knows the story here.

This is a 1470 cutting edible beans in the Skyrocket Hills of SE Washington in August of 2016. Wish I would've had a chance to see the machine up close, but it still looked pretty cool from a distance.

Those hills look tame for the Skyrockets. I know pictures don’t do the slopes justice, but you can tell the combine isn’t maxed out in any of those shots.

I agree, the slopes in the pics don't look like much for what we saw while driving around in that area. If I remember correctly, those pics were taken NE of Prescott.

The hill side behind this elevator had already been harvested and it almost looks too steep to be farmed, but some crazy soul does. I think it's located south of Starbuck on a paved road.

That picture is very familiar to me. I even know who's truck that is. One summer I had to drive our semi to the river on that road to the river. It was 15 minutes faster than the highway for our location but still 1 hour 45 minutes for a round trip. That location is just east of the actual skyrockets. Now with our grain company merger we haul straight into Prescott as it is all downhill for us from the Blue Mountain foothills and it is only 15 miles so a lot more turns in a day.

That elevator was full at the time, but I kept following the truck and told my wife that more than likely, we'd end up at the next closest one since the truck was full. Ended up at the one on the river west of Starbuck and spoke with that guy driving the truck, to see where I needed to venture to find some harvesting going on. He was an extremely nice guy to talk to.
While we were at the elevator by the river, we noticed the charred hill sides around it. I can't remember if they said it happened about a week before we were there and torched 100-1000 acres. It would be TOUGH battling a blaze in that terrain!

Edit: on a side note, The Tuxedo in Prescott served one helluva good lunch!

That doesn’t look so bad, there’s a road at the bottom of the slope. It’s the ones that drop off into a canyon at the bottom that I find unnerving.

It doesn't matter road or not, it all does the same damage when it hits the bottom. Had the same four wheeler buck off two different people and go in the canyon and have to be retrieved and it lives on. Had a tractor and sprayer come off the hill and landed in the county road. End of tractor pretty well busted up but sprayer was rebuilt but never ran yet and that was 19 years ago. It is a lot easier to pick up the pieces though when laying in the road.

no, when you roll down the hill then fall off the canyon edge you will now pick up speed at 32ft/sec/sec till you hit the hard spot on the bottom.

We lost a tractor about the left edge of the photo. Just about lost the pickup too. My brother went up to see if it was muddy and barely made it up. Backed up to turn around and it started sliding. He put in park, set brake and got out. Watched it slide about 75 feet. It had three tires cross the road and the last one held. We had to get a bigger than loader tractor to remove it.

Again at least with the road it is easier to remove the pieces but a little more embarrassing.

My Palouse farmer in-law says you always have to think about how you are going to out of where you are going. You don't want to get to a place where you can't turn or climb out of and some loads you can't hit the hydraulics and lift them up and go.

Flying around the Blue Mountains is the same thing. Over the years there have been a lot of planes fly up canyons and realize they can't climb as fast as the elevation is climbing and it isn't wide enough to turn in so they eventually crash. There are several WWII planes spread out across the mountains as well as little planes that didn't make it. A couple months ago a student and flight instructor crashed but walked away.

Biscuit has the story on the 1470. They used the same engine as a 1480. I think they were able to level up to a 45% slope. A follow on 1670 was also made for a while until CIH decided to get out of the hillside combine business. At the very end RAHCO in Spokane WA was putting levelers under both CIH and John Deere combines for a short while.
Now I think Hillco aftermarket levelers has most of the hillside combine market.

John has the more to the story I don't see listed elsewhere. At least the hillside 1470 was a 1460 frame with a 1480 "big" engine for pulling hills and to pull the extra weight of the heavier hillside combine. I think they built a few more than the hillside farmers could buy so went out as level land. They were sent to Spokane where the actual leveling units were put on at Rahco.

My neighbor has a 1470 combine, but it for sure isn't one of those sidehill conversions.

That one on Craigslist doesn't look like a sidehill conversion either.

I wonder what the deal is? I always thought his combine looked odd, but just because of the decals and paint. They are the color of the 1600 series combines.

Neighbor of mine had a 1480 the same way. I think the last year or so of the 14 series did away with the white cabs and said Case on it.

cept the later ones that had the Cummins.

Wrong....... you can look up 1470 right on case parts site. They made one.Seen one that looked more like the ones in the sashington photo in person...... yep, at Mandan ND...See my thread above for parts link.

So the OP abbreviated some. Looking at the Craigslist ad that he posted clearly says Case IH so that person isn't trying to mislead anyone.

But looking at the product identification number it only says J I Case on it so you say the company doesn't know who they really are? Really.

I also remember that the Case IH combines had the white cab tops and when Case took over they had the red cab tops before they went on to the 1670 models in 1989. They were the combine of choice for many years for our steep hills as the JD 7722 just didn't have the capacity nor RWA and Gleaner level land rotary.

The last year or so of the 1400 Series Axial-Flow combines were badged as a 14xx CASE International combine and the cabs had red tops.

There are some out there but not many. I'm sure that between the farm economy being in the toilet at that time and people running scared of this new Case/IH merger, they didn't sell very many of these combines.

Not an expert on how tractors and such were tagged after the acquisition by JI Case just thought it was odd when looking at the tag for the combine
