My first combine was a 45 square back. It had never done corn and did not have a cab. I found a nice 235 corn head and did enough custom work the first fall to pay for it. Next year added a cab off a parts machine. I lost that machine in a barn fire (struck by lightning) and bought a second machine just like it with no cab. Ran it for a year and added a cab. I then bought one of the last 45's made with the 180 engine and v belt seperater drive but it had water in the oil. The plan was to put a 202 or 219 diesel in it but we bought a farm in WI and moved 850 miles. I decided a 45 was to small and bought a 95 then a few years latter a second 95 and a 55. The 55 finally wore out and we bought a sharp 105. I still own the two 45's. They are setting in a shed on my land in MD. Not sure I want to spend what it would cost to haul them here. I never had any problems with any of my 45's. It was slow going when corn yeilds got over 100 bu and was slow in 60 bu wheat but did a good job. Yes the 45 was the lower priced machine compared to a 55 but Deere did not short change it in any way. Parts are getting harder to get so you might consider picking up a parts machine. Of all the machines I had and even the three we now use (95,95 and 105) the most expensive was $1500. I have changed the one 95 and the 105 over to diesel engines and paid more for the trucking on my 105 than I gave for the machine.If it is a good shedded and maintained machine do not be afraid of it but I would not spend much on a wore out one. Post some pics. Tom
