My dad had a Case A6 combine with the Wisconsin engine on it too. What an awful POS that engine was. It either would not start or else the valves would stick after sitting overnight.
He finally removed the engine and put a pto drive on it which made operating the combine so much nicer.


That's what ours was also a Case A6. I agree on the engine. The combine used the spike tooth system for threshing rather than a rasp bar. I remember Dad would combine some oats twice as the straw made really nice bales for bedding sows with little pigs then. Most of the oats was only combined once and the straw was acceptable for general bedding.

Ours had a spike tooth cylinder too and it work great in every thing except in oats that had some green weeds in them. The cylinder would chop up the weeds and you could not get the pieces of weeds out of the oats.
Oats were a loser and they were only planted where you planned on planting winter wheat in the fall, so we quit growing oats and planted wheat behind soybeans with minimum tillage. Problem solved.
