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.
