 Topic: All Cropping corn
Posted: 19 Oct 2016 at 7:50pm |

Looking for a little more info on an All Crop corn head. I've seen a few videos of them working, I have never seen one in person.
1. Is the model 66 the only one that had a corn head?
2. Are they rare? I have never seen one come up for sale, even on here.
3. How much are they worth?
4. Do they work good? Is harvesting corn with an All Crop harder on the machine? Sure sounds like the ears are really banging around in there. How does a combine get the kernels off the cob anyways?
Sorry if these seem like dumb questions. I don't know a lot (or anything) about combining but this time of year I always seem to take an interest...
Thanks for looking!

Leave it to Joe to have 3 or 4 of everything lol
I heard most corn combines had bin extensions and thicker concaves.

Norm Swinford says in his book corn heads for 66, 72, and 90 combines. The 66 corn head was adaptable to 60 combines back to serial number 86337 which was the start of quick adjustable cylinder speed. A total of 1150 corn heads were produced: 850 for the 66, 100 for the 72, and 200 for the 90.
The way he words it makes me think maybe except for the 60/66 head, they're not interchangeable. I've been told that there is a lot of similarity between the All Crop corn heads and the 2 row head for a Gleaner E.

They do work good but they are hard on the combine. To prepare the combine you had to install, heavier cylinder bars and channel irons between the cylinder bars to act as filler bars. A concave liner is also installed.
The corn heads were very similar to those of the early Gleaner heads and the corn pickers as all three were built and designed at the LaPorte Indiana facility.
Most of the time they bring a little more than the average All-Crop. There was one here in Iowa that sold terribly cheap lately that I am hoping that it did not go to scrap.
I do have a 66 corn head that is on my never ending "to do" list.
I am hoping to run it one day.

I have 2 cornheads , you have to take the grain head off put different supports on and shields around the cylinder, a cylinder liner and different concave bars. the cylinder bars were run straight instead of spiraled, add a hydraulic hook up to the axle that you welded on. yes there was a bin and elevator extension and different slip clutch springs for the auger and elevator. couple of tail rake clips for the chaffer and retainers you put on the straw rack. two curtains and two deck pieces right behind the cylinder had to be put in as well. filer bars in the cylinder and 20 cylinder fillers. a different tailings elevator sieve. and an elevator shield.
