Sorry no! But I sure would like to have mine back. They were an amazing machine in their day, and to me were probably the best machine at the time, capacity, ease of repair,ability to operate in nasty conditions(damp crops,weeds, foxtail, etc.) and economy, and "handiness" drivng and turning!

I agree! I remember cutting Barley in the early 80's that was as high as the drive tires with no problem

I have two in the shed and hope to combine wheat next year with one. Both were always inside and we have them running. One pickup head, one straight cut head with both reels, 430 corn head, 4 extra cylinders (3 spike) skid of screens, and skid of spare parts including new belts, bearings, etc, etc. Deal of the year. $500 for all. Seller couldn't bear to scrap them. One was used very little. C II was the big combine when the D-21 was the big horse in the field.

My serial numbers start at 17201 for 67, for some reason my list doesnt cover 68. Im guessing yours is a 68 model, hope this helps, Trev.

My grandpa had 2 CII's farmed with them up untill 2002, also used an A up till then. Sadly he sold both CII's. I cut my teeth on the 1 combining oats when i was 9 in 1999. I loved those combines. We still have the A and also 2 AII's but we don't have any crop ground any more just hay, someday I will have some crop ground again and I cant wait to get the A going again

F and G started in 68, 67 was the last year of C2/ A2.

My Dad bought a new c2 in 68, I guess it was a 67 model, thanks for the correction, Trev.
