Subject: RE: Just for Fun., What were the best old combines?


Stayner, Ontario		Father started with a new All crop Allis Chalmers 60 with bagger attachment he purchased with a new Allis Chalmers WF in 1945. He was in his glory. No more barn threshings to go to.
He then traded to a new All crop 66 with bin in 1954 . Then an All crop 90 in 1965 followed by a new Gleaner K in 1970.
From the K we updated to a F diesel then a F2 diesel.
Colour then changed to red machine since the local Gleaner dealer had shut down and the next dealership was 50 miles away.
Started out with a Case/Int 1640, then 1660 followed by two 2366 then a 2388. Updated to 8120 followed by another new 8120 then to a new 8230. Now have
2 - 8230's running 45 ft Mac Don 75 heads and a 12 row fold Northstar. Times have changed greatly. The current combines all run with the aid of GPS and Precision equipment.


We have two All crops 66 big bin and a 90 stored away with our other Allis tractors.
