Dad and the neighbor used smaller pull type combines to combine oats. Dad started with two #62 IH combines, one to run, second for parts on weekends. A Deere #25 replaced them both but the #25 still had canvases which were a terrible way to feed the crop into a combine. The salesman for the local Deere dealer decided to sell his #30 Deere combine and Dad must have been the first one there with the money. #25 & #30 both 7 ft cut, same width cylinder and everything else the same behind the cylinder. Could get 15-20 acres done in an afternoon. Deere made two different gearboxes, one ran the combine, OR the unloading augers for the 25 bushel grain tank, other gearbox ran the combine, and in other position ran the combine AND the unloading augers, which Dad put on both combines and he stopped the combine, engaged the unloading auger, started the combine again and unloaded on the go, when grain bin was empty you could shut the augers off on the go. When I got old enough to haul in and unload the wagons we could get the 20 acres but it was a long day. We'd start after lunch, run 3 to 3-1/2 mph, maybe a bit faster if the oats were standing good. A hydrostatic drive tractor pulling the combine would have been great.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. 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.
