Thumb of Michigan | There were a fair number of 105's in my area. First combine I got to drive was our 55, that was traded for a new 105 EB (edible bean). Nice to be able to get inside a cab, that was quite an improvement. The EB's were pretty similar to 105R's (rice) in the threshing dept, but if I remember right the final drives were heavier in the R's. There was a jockey who brought an awful lot of R's into the area in the mid to late 70's . Seemed like most of those were Diesels. Guys were rebuilding the tin and making them into very durable dry bean machines. We replaced the unloading auger on ours with a belt for dry beans, it really was a nice combine for that crop. I have a neighbor only recentley parked his 105's, finding parts and donor machines was getting to be too hard. They were quite a machine in there day. | |
