I recently saw a 482? Cockshutt combine. Looks like a +/- 1950 vintage machine. Does anyone know where one could get some information about this combine or have personal knowledge about them? Just wondering if they were a good machine in their day etc. There seems to be a complete lack of information available for combines.

My father and I ran a Cockshutt combine (not sure which model). Anyway, I started going to the harvest field in second grade, (1966) and my dad was still using that combine in the year 2000 right up until he retired. Great combines

My dad bought a 428 new in 1960. He combined with that combine until sometime in the 80's when he added a few acres of land. He bought two combines over the years to put along side of it, and old 137 and a Massey Super 90. Dad did a lot of custom work with it. He purchased a reel when he bought it. He combined everything but corn with it. I learned to love combining myself. Guess what combine taught me the way?

My grandpa had a Coclshutt 428 for abotu 5-6 years. That combine was his pride and joy he traded it on a 542 and ever week when he came into town he would stop and look at the 428. finally one day he walked in to the dealer and bought it back. later on my unlce striped the oil filter and all the oil ran out. Just as he got in the field it stalled so the new engine was $500 4 hours later they had a new engine in it and back out in the field i dont know how many hours where in it but when it was sold 10 years later it looked just like new... the nabours john deer 95 couldent keep up to it the 428 would blow its doors off on the road and in a heavy crop the 428 would talk turkey in 2nd gear but that old J.D.95 would be in creeper gear and talking more then turkey....

Maybe a 428? One of the best (no kidding) of that era. Around here, if you had a pull type, it was alittle Allis or Massey. If you wanted a self propelled to do some combining, it was a Massey. If you were doing custom work or had serious acres ahead of you, you bought a Cockshutt. The 428's could be equipped for just about anything except corn. There was a fellow up here had a set of tracks for one, and they were considered the only ones that could do a proper job of flax. Chrysler engines, transmissions that took some getting used to, get her set up and roll on. I would seriously suggest that Cockshutt combines were about the best available in their day and probably the company's star product.
