    I'm glad to hear that the combine and corn harvest turned out good. I remember sitting in my uncle's John Deere combine back in 1970. He farmed just outside of North Battleford, Saskatchewan. He suggested I tie up a rope to lean on and clean the front windscreen of it. I was 10 yrs. old, not much of a knot tyer and scared of falling, so I took the safe route and stuck to cleaning just the inside of the window. My cousin still lives there on the property but I believe is pretty much retired from farming. I enjoy you guys videos. BTW, I have a 96 F-250 4x4 automatic, extended cab, 351 W project truck that I bought last December. It runs and drives but I've done quite a few mechanical things to it to bring it up to better status. I'm amuzed at how so many shops in Kansas City really don't like to work on the older trucks . Parts can be a challenge to find sometimes as well. I can't seem to find good brake dust covers anywhere local. Also, there's a spring that goes into the parking brake that I believe even the Ford factory diagram has in the wrong position. Have a nice November and Thanksgiving! Rick

It was great fun watching it from start to finish!

    Made the front page local paper awhile back getting an international 403 on propane combine to get a 9610 out of a bind before a hurricane hit. Even unloaded on the go. Put extensions on the auger and hopper. Truckers were laughing when the tractor and auger cart was bigger than the combine. Pretty smooth running machine that dropped very little grain. Only thing it didn't have a Worley bird on the radiator screen. Had to get out and wipe it off when the engine temp started climbing. This video brings back old teenage memories.

    The Joh Deere model 55 combine was one of the simple straightforward machines of the 1960s. My uncle had two of them. If the old flathead engine was stuck, pull the plugs and pour in some Marvell Mistry Oil. If that didn't work, pull the head, put a piece of 2 X 4 into the bore and slug it with a sledgehammer, break that piston loose, slap some gasket sealer back onto the gasket, bolt the head back on and start it up. It would usually stop smoking after a while and run the full harvest time. I ran on in maize grain and never looked back. It had a little trash with the grain and dropped a little out the back. But it worked and didn't cost much to run. Best choice of an old machine. For a sixty-year-old machine, she is doing great. Well maintained.

    I love the farm episodes. You guys are doing exactly what I would like to do when I buy a couple acres. No need for new equipment when you only have four to10 acres of land to work, and who cares if it's gasoline as long as it works. It's very happy to see that old farmer help you guys out with the combine, that's what my dad always told me when he would work on his uncles dairy farm in Pennsylvania, all the farmers would help each other out

    It was rewarding to see the 55 take out the corn. My uncle had a model like that. First combine he purchased, brings back tons of memories. It appears the old gal is in pretty good condition. Nice to see that old iron still operating, considering the majority of that series has long ago returned to the recycling heap. I was wondering when a combine video was coming. Now what? Tillage? and are you going to do a corn/soybean rotation? Enjoyed the series and the channel!

    What memories this brings back for me. My dad went back into farming in 1963 when I was 6. He grew corn and beans in East Central Illinois. He farmed 1000 acres that year and harvested all the corn with a JD 45 and a 2 row corn head compared to your 55 and a 3 row head. He finished shortly before Christmas that yr! Thanks for the memories!

    Awesome series on corn planting and harvest. Loved it and I love old farm equipment as well. After our Massey Super 92 combine rotted away from the inside, It was stripped of "everything combine" and a 12 foot snow blade was added to it and it's been pushing snow now for 14 years. This combine had a cab on it and all it needed was a heater and refreshment holder. It's a site to see and all the neighbors get a laugh when they see my rig rollin snow...lol. Love all the vids, so keep them coming. Cheers from Saskatchewan, Canada.

    Either way , I'm learning something new, didn't know how that whole combine thing works , I live out in the Country, South East Wisconsin , so I see many farm equipment running around my street and surrounding areas , but way bigger than what your showing, but I'm sure it all works the same and your smarter than most of these guys to automotive stuff so it's nice that you explain in derail how and why , I love that the most , so keep up the great work ! It's your channel so put in what you want and if someone don't like it , well I quess they don't have to watch it ! Then again maybe you need a second channel with your farming experiences , were we can all learn new farming how too's !!
