I believe if someone sat down with ya on a porch you would some good story's to tell ..👍👍👍

Watching this brings back a lot of memories. Spent many a Fall day, and many nights as well - when it stayed warm enough that the dew didn't form and we could keep going all night long - throughout the 60's into the late 70's on a 1959 round back, open station JD95, while my brothers (and for a number of years, my mother) ran the International Harvester 181, and an Allis-Chalmers SP-100. Even though it was pure torture on these open station machines when the wind wasn't cooperating and the chaff & straw were so thick you couldn't breathe without a bandana tied over your face...I miss those days dearly; maybe because it felt so good when you could finally quit for a few hours, and take a shower & get a couple hours of sleep before it was time to get the machines greased-up, fueled-up, and ready to hit it hard again. The old open station machines we had were eventually replaced by a New Holland 980 and a couple JD7700's with cabs...then by a few JD8820's...and over the past 40 years - the newest, biggest machines John Deere had to offer. It's hard to explain to youngsters today what farming was like 50+ years ago, before air conditioned & heated cabs, navigation systems, self-leveling platforms, grease banks (a lot of folks don't know what it's like to find all 50 to 80 zerk fittings on some of these old vintage combines)...even running a machine with reliable BRAKES!...just like it was hard for my Father and uncles to explain to my generation what it was like pitching shocks into a threshing machine pulled to the field by horses and run off a long belt from a Steam Tractor or stationary steam engine 60 or 70 feet away.

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to write this Andrew! Very true, the next generation can never fully appreciate the hardships past generations have endured.

Dairy farm I worked on ran a 45 open station combine like that up until the early 80's. You jump off of that after a full day and half the night and you were covered in an inch of grain dust. Miss those times when the equipment was so much simpler.

That combine is an absolute beauty! Love all your JD equipment! We also have quite a few pieces of green 😀 also. Case and IH snd a smorgasbord round out the rest. My combine is a 6600 JD. Machine runs great and I do my high moisture corn with it. I don't have my trucks finish 😕 😒 yet so I don't do our beans or dry corn as it gets hauled to whatever elevator can take it. Today we finished chopping the bean stalks for bedding and it is unbelievable the amount of beans that are left in the chaff. This machine is damn near brand new and it leaves this many beans go out the back?? Needless to say I am going to make damn sure my trucks are running for this upcoming season.

In the fall of 1959 the engine on dad's baldwin pull type combine blew. Spring of 60 he bought a 1959 lay over combine. It was a model 45 John Deere self propelled combine. We used that machine for yrs. In 1969 dad bought a 1959 model 95. For a few yrs dad run the 95 , I run the 45. Here in south central kansas the little Arkansas River flows thur one of are farms. A big rain up stream. We moved the combines to that farm. Harvested a field of wheat 30 ft from a very high little Arkansas River. We got done. The river did not flood. Later dad traded for a 1969 95 combine. On that combine dad put an electric fuel pump on it to push the gas up to the engine. What state are you in?

Dirt Farmer Flapjacks 4 cups home ground wheat flour 2 t salt 1/4 cup sugar 1T plus 1t Baking powder 2 farm fresh eggs 3 T melted homemade butter 2 cup milk (fresh from our milk cow) Whisk all ingredients together until just blended; some lumps are okay. Heat a frying pan or griddle, If you aren’t using a nonstick pan, melt a bit of butter in your frying pan or griddle first, and then pour small amounts of batter (about a 1/4-cup) into pan. Cook the pancake until it begins to bubble and then flip and cook the other side. Fry until browned on both sides. You can also use this batter in a waffle iron; follow the directions of your individual model. For daily-free pancakes, use a milk replacement such as coconut or almond milk and replace the butter with coconut butter. Flapjack Add-in Ideas: 1 cup Black raspberries ¼ cup mini chocolate chips 1 diced apple 1 diced banana ½ cup blueberries ¼ cup peanut butter 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 teaspoons poppy seeds ½ cup crumbled bacon ½ cup coconut milk (instead of regular milk) and ¼ cup shredded coconut 1 mashed banana and ½ cup diced strawberries ½ cup pureed pumpkin and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice ¼ cup shredded zucchini ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese ½ cup diced peaches ½ cup yogurt (instead of milk)
