Parts are around but not like they used to be since a few years back when scrap prices sent thousands of them to china,, as for concaves,, I weld them up and hard surface them before they are shot,, I have three for the 42" machines all ready to go,, also have new rub bars on hand,, but to be honest I have only changed two sets of rub bars in over 50 years of running these machines,, I do not cut the acres I used to either,, int he 90's I was cutting 1200-2000 acres a year with them,, now 250 or so average in grains this due to the fact I now have to haul grain 150 miles one way to sell any more,, in the last five years of running I have changed out two original belts,, and will be pulling my main variable pulley off the 1660 as I can hear they are getting a bit of noise in them,, I have also bought 10' of #80 chain to replace on the 1660 main combine drive,, not bad to get 32xx hrs out of the factory one, I think,, so far I have never had to replace a single feeder house chain,, I do have several good used ones for all three sizes SP machines I have though if I do need to,, one thing I do need to replace on a couple headers is the reel boards,, the 600 and 1660 I run are both original there also,, on my CASE fb page I have guys all of the world still running CASE machines and there are more running here yet than is generally known, I know one man who runs three 660's to cut all his crops yet,, all have scour cleans on them and have been well taken care of,, Case only held a 7% market share of combine sales in 1969,, the bean counters decided to go with being the Big Power Specialist starting in 1970 was the reason combines were dropped at the end of the 1970 production year,, as far as I found the last new machine in stock was sold in 1974, they did build the 960 over seas along with the 330 baler in to the mid 70's but USA production stopped in December of 1970, Case guaranteed any parts for them until 1980,, we had no problem getting parts to that date,, then it was a hit and miss,, I bought out several old Case dealers parts stock but thankfully I have used very few items from my parts supply, me being in small grain production I am sure keeps wear down on my machine over other areas as does the dry climate,, we never once as dealer took a second chair to any brand combine, if you could get the product over the cutter bar we could save it,, and produce a sample and grain quality no other ones could follow,, not saying there was not other really good machines out there at all just saying what i seen on the demos and later with me running various brands for custom cutters here over the years,,

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work.
