Kingston,Mi | I started operating combines for Lloyd Cornish in 1967, 3 gas Massey Harris 90 and 92's. We must have been B.T.O.s because our fuel was in 10 gallon milk cans, drive his pickup to the gravity tank and fill up 8 or 10 milk cans. Then crowd into the pickup cab and drive to where we had left the machines (we operated over a 20 by 20 mile area custom cutting). Lloyd bought 1 gas JD 95 EB to replace his Keck-Gonnerman beaner, used it 1 year and sold it. He said he caught it on fire 6 times in 6 miles coming from Clifford to Kingston from bean dust settling on the manifold of that John Deere. Claimed he used up all of his iced tea putting out those small fires. | |
