Bob: A guy I know back in Nova Scotia has one of the last threshers built by IH. I just forget the capacity but he told me the last year his uncle used it they had a new 656 diesel. His uncle found a rear pto mount belt pulley that would fit 656, and they threshed with a wagon load of sheaves pulled up on each side and 4 of the most able men they could find pitching into the self feeder. The 656 incidently just purred. I doubt if too many 656's were ever hooked to a thresher.

He restored this thresher and had a John Deere 70 diesel, which due to parts he didn't have quite ready for show and threshing event in 2001. A guy showed with a R diesel and was all keyed up to put his R on thresher. We tried to have 2 wagons pulled up for that one, bunch of us wanted to hear the old R under a good heavy load. However the thresher owner stopped that one, said after he got couple more years fixing on old thresher he'd go for it. I spoke with him just recently, tells me he had the 70 on thresher last year and he is just finishing a Super WD9 he'll use this fall. He tells me his next project already on the go a Massey Harris GP on rubber, this one again they used new on farm.
