Can anyone point me to sources for photos, sketches, or egnineering drawings for pull-type levelling (or "hillside") combines of the 1930's 40's and 50's? I'd like to do some pencil sketches and need photos of them with the header in the grain and operating on maximum grades. Examples: IH No. 51; John Deere Models 34 and 36; a real oldy, a Rumley No. 3. These machines were predecessors of self propelled combines like the John Deere 55 and Baldwin Gleaner and were used in southeastern Washington state for wheat, barley, oats, peas and lentils. Levelling devices were often, if not always, locally manufactured by Hansen, etc.

Jon: See if you can find a copy of the book " The Grain Harvesters" by Quick and Buchele (sp?). Lots of pictures of the old fellows and the heroes that hung onto these things up and down those hills. A few shots of the real old ones with about 40 mules pulling them. If you really get jammed up, I can send you some photocopies by mail. Good luck. Tom
