In Reply to: pull type combines? posted by swindave on October 17, 2020 at 15:53:09:
Back in the '50's & early '60's, Dad had an A6 Case combine with a Hercules water cooled "pony" engine. There were a lot of A6's in our part of SD. Ours was the only one that had a water cooled engine, that I knew of. Most were V-4 Wisconsin's. The Case combines were very reliable and did a good job. We also had a pull type, ground driven 12' Case windrower that we used to cut grain for the combine. We did a lot of "custom" work, both cutting & combining. I did almost all of the cutting with that windrower. Dad & my brother ran the combine & hauled off the grain. (The grain tank held a mammoth 25 bushels.) We pulled the combine with an H Farmall. Depending on how heavy the grain was, low gear or low throttle second gear was used. A 12' wide cut of rye or good wheat filled the 6' wide pick-up head on the A6. Low gear idling was sometimes to fast for the "Herk" to handle the load. You could hear that pony motor "bellering" a half-mille away on a still day.
