The first combine to harvest corn on this farm was a 1967 45. It did a good job and rarely broke down in the 250 or so acres it went through every year but the owner darned near tore it apart and rebuilt it every other year. The corn head was a 210 and the bean head took 4 38" rows so I assume it was a 12 footer. I did drive it some and worked on it a little but that was 45 years ago. The one thing that stands out in my mind is it seems to be more of a bargain built machine compared to the 55 if I want to call it that. It seemed like the framework was lighter weight to make it a cheaper to buy combine. I've heard the engine is the same as a 2010 but I doubt if that engine was made in 1967, the year this one was made but maybe i'm wrong on that. The gas engine in this combine was never overhauled in the twenty years he and the next owner used it. Power wasn't it's strong point but it got by and if one or two big weeds went in you hit the clutch and sat there and prayed. We only harvest corn and soys here so I don't know anything about how a 45 handles wheat. I would say for the hours, the 45 you are looking at should still be in fairly good shape if it has been shedded and well maintained but I wouldn't have a clue what it is worth.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
