this is the combine I grew up with, as a child we sat on the ledge behind the seat, as we got older we started driving the tractors with the cart. Along with the tractors, I also drove the combine and trucks. Our Dad never encouraged us to go into farming, so the farm died when he retired. I definitely miss those days on the farm.

thanks for the comment. sorry to hear the family farm died out. hear it all too often unfortunately.

I spent many summers as a kid running one of these beasts, 760 silver cab, hydro, in the 80's and 90's until dad got tired of custom work and sold it all. Them Perkins ran good, and boy did they always blow smoke. Watching this video sure takes me back. Sad to see this machine in such bad shape. End of an area. Wish someone would mod one for farm sim, so I could re-live it!

We ran 550s on harvest. Okla to South Dakota every year. Those were some really good times

our 760 6cly turbo 354 perkins sat inside 21 years started up drove home a mile been sitting out for 2 and half years because where we had ours stored we sold the place. quit running it because the motor wont stay running get air in fuel and die many issues with it i got tons of videos of it on my channel. reason why yours don't move is the hydro belt came off. also the header thing might be a wire bad they lift of electric some of them did ours didn't work either got a payloader lifted. it up and locked it in place tires on ours are way worse drove it home no brakes lol and gear driven. ran with 21 year old diesel drove home. back in thr 70s and 80s had a 860 v8 540 perkins with 6,000 hours ran great just was wore out and then bought a new 1977 760 white cab v8 540 perkins was good combines at the time no parts here so we run john deere 9750 sts and 9500 also still have a complete super 92 massey combine complete we bought new in the 50s

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!

Your hydraulic fluid level is probably too low, try adding a couple of gallons and it might help, I'm assuming that's a hydrostat drive. Nothing sounds sweeter than a perkins engine.

It would be cool to have a old combine in the collection. Unfortunately this one is to the point beyond saving.

How can I get ahold of you, did you sell it? Mike

I wonder if this the same Perkins engine that Oliver put in their 1850 model tractors?
