I just picked up my first combine, a Gleaner.
I dont know anything about combines! If I dident bring it home it was going to be cut up. Should I have passed? I dont know what model it is. It has a ten foot header, grain I think? Self propelled, four cylinder ford engine, not running (missing the carb and who knows what else) Ford transmission, Ford rearend, 12X34 drive wheels 600X16 steering wheels. Been sitting out side for the last ten or so years, but dose not seam to be all rusted out? Lots of free yellow jackets in side. WISH ME LUCK. Crazy Frank in Sacramento, Ca.

I believe you do have a model T. I have a 1956 model I was told. Ten foot header and ford 4 cyl. motor. I am 2nd owner and mine is in very good condition. I think I have two copies of the manuels and parts books as my local dealer gave me his because I was the only person who had one around here. Perhaps I could help you.

You could have a Model T. Built only in 1954, it used a Ford 172 cu. in. 4-cylinder engine and a 3-speed forward, 1-reverse transmission with a variable drive v-belt. A 10' direct-cut head was standard on the T3 version (T2 version used a 7' head) Grain bin capacity was 30 bushels. Cylinder width was 23". Length and width of separator was 144" x 28". The T does not carry the Allis-Chalmers name, only Baldwin-Gleaner, as A-C acquired Gleaner on Feb. 1, 1955, after which the T was dropped in favor of the All-Crop SP100.

Tim, I think you hit it. It is a Gleaner, galvinised side panels are imbossed "Gleaner" and it has a "Gleaner" hydraulic pump. The engine is a Ford 172 cid four cylinder. The transmission is three speed's foward and one reverse. and has a variable drive V-belt. It has the ten foot direct-cut head. I gave the wrong information on the drive tire size. It has 12X26 inch tires, one of which was cut and I could only find 14.9X26. Good enough to move it home. I found where the name plate was, only the rivets remain. The two "patent" plates remain. Just where I was told they would be, chest high on the left rear side. Thanks to all for the information. Next, to find any books on it. Frank Fox in Sacramento, Ca.
maybe not so crazy?

With it being that small I would think it would have to be an "A".

Maybe some sort of corrupted "C" with tires that large.

Is the header a conventional header, i.e. does it have a reel with bats, and a sickle type mowing bar? Never heard of a ten foot one. Just wondering if it might be a draper head?

You did right by salvaging it. You can always use the shafts, bearings and holders, gears and chains, and pulleys for another project.

Maybe a Rube Goldberg machine.

Combines can sure eat money to repair, & do not weather well. Good luck!

What color is it, not familiar with Gleaners having Ford parts, as the other person said. Until the '90s, Gleaner has always been unpainted galvinised, with black, orange, or green trim. Now they are painting the galvinised grey.

Frankly, it does not sound like a Gleaner to me- Gleaners were made with galvanized sheet metal,some with GM motors, others with AC motors. Usually 26 inch diameter wheels. Gleaner transmission and rear (drive) end- that's in the front of the combine. Gleaner models typically had the model and serial number on the left side, just forward of the steering axle, about chest high, on the side of the combine separator, below and forward of the battery, and steps leading to the engine area.
