 Topic: All Crop 66 value
Posted: 14 Jun 2015 at 8:03pm |
I found an all crop 66 for sale, its been sitting outside for a few years, they used it for several years before putting it aside an getting something different. So, I'm hoping its mechanically O.K., but is there anything I should be looking for if I get a chance to go look at it next weekend? Didn't I read somewheres that some of them the wheels were on bushings rather than bearings?
The reason I ask is it's located 5 MILES from my fathers house. Thats only 26,400 feet! I think logic demands that I buy it just on proximity alone! I have no use for one, I've never had a stranger come up to me and ask me to combine his oats (yet), but boy, I hate to see it go to scrap. If I could fix it up, not necissarily restore it, it sure would be neat to have.
Any guesses as to what its worth? How much does one weigh?
Thanks.

Does it have the canvas in good shape, that's one of many things to ask about. Check for rust in the cylinder and the doors on the elevators, and anyplace else on the combine, that's the biggest thing to check for. Also check the elevators for dirt dobers and make sure they're clean. Check the cylinder bars for damage and how much rubber is left on them. When you can, pics help and let us know how it looks when you go to see it, good luck!

If you want a man to be a successful farmer, give him a Allis Chalmers tractor. If you want him to be a successful mechanic, give him a John Deere

Yes, wheels are on bushings. A few years ago I drug one home from just west of Marshfield, forty some miles, that had been roaded up there from Portage. Keep plenty of grease in the bearings and go slow!

No opinion on value but if it is only 5 miles, take a tractor and grease the wheels and pull it home a 10mph and it shouldn't be much different that pulling it around a field all day.

My 72 has wheel bushings, pulled it 150 miles. greased every 30 miles or so. Your fine. you'll spend more on the canvass than the combine is worth if its bad. but if you have the means id say save it! look for optional features such as dual wheels, scour kleen, big bin, pick up header, all those add value. they take a LOT of grease, make sure you lube everything before running.

I vote to try to save it. Even if you can't buy canvases and use it yourself someone else might want it. This is why I have a Minneapolis Moline model 69 pull type combine with auxiliary engine in a barn. It is never been rained on and I just couldn't let it go for scrap. I'll never use it the magneto is gone off the engine and the canvases are shot. But if anybody knows of anybody it would help could work something out.

Maybe for fathers day I will take my father and he can help give it the once over. I asked him and he used to run one quite a bit when he was younger. Hell, it might even BE the one he ran...... we'd better go look.
I looked through the 186 page parts book over on allcropharvester.com last night, there is a lot of parts to one of these and looks like a blast to setup and operate.

What is a SWAG, what is a scour clean, how do I tell if its a big bin?
The duals and pickup header I should be able to spot.
My the canvas is spendy.

Scour Kleen - cylindrical grain cleaner mounted on top of the grain tank.
Canvas - Yep not cheap...Find a company that does awnings or a Amish who does that kind of work and you might get it done cheaper. Will be inferior though as it wont be rubbereized.

Well, its a big bin 66 with scour clean. And it is in very good shape, other than the lower canvas is gone and the upper is shot. Serial number B67020. Can anyone tell me the year, or any other information from the serial number? Thanks.

I was watching some videos on youtube, found one where a 60 had tandem wheels on it. Not duals, but a tandem walking beam setup. Was this an option, or a aftermarket add on?

I believe it was an option for the 60, think I remember seeing it in the 60 operator's manual...

Just found another picture of the tandem setup, are these rare? Is there any other purpose besides smoother ride on a rough field?
