Okay, don’t give me a hard time I posted this as it is not AC but my buddy picked this 1980 White combine up this week. Just thought it is a neat machine and in very good condition, field ready. Always shedded, came with a grain head also. Powered by a Chrysler 400 that sounds awesome when its running. Manual 3 speed trans. 36” 4 row corn head. I would imagine it sucks some gas as it has what appear to be 2-70 gallon fuel tanks.

It may be thirsty, but a bit more spent on fuel (well maybe ‘some’) is nothing compared to what the costs are for newer machines. If it is well maintained, and properly adjusted, it may very well suit the needs.
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

A farmer not too far away has some standing corn on 36” rows, so he plans on trying it out as soon as the snow leaves and the ground dries up. His main reason for purchasing it was to put it on his fun farm pumpkin patch so kids could slide down a slide out of the grain bin but its in such good working condition he may be changing his mind and use it for a small field of corn to shell so the kids can play in it. A local farmer provided the shelled corn this year. It was a big success this past fall. He has been unable to find a non working combine locally that folks were not wanting a fortune for it.

We had an 8600 gas/hydro back in the 80's. It was a pretty decent machine but it was a gas hog!!

Yes he has both manuals. Owner had a good trail of repairs, maintenance records. Fella was 82 years old and said he couldn’t climb the ladder anymore. Can’t wait to see it shell some corn.

It would be a shame to mess up a working machine, I'm sure there are others out there with worn out insides that can be bought for scrap price.  Might take a time to find but there are several months before he will be needed.

He has been looking for months for one that has a running engine so it will move on its own power but has been retired due to issues with the threshing part since it would not be needed. We both agree it’s too nice to modify for his intended use but finding one locally has been an issue. Having one hauled is costly if it’s too far away. It wasn’t cheap hauling this one from Madison. If he comes across something different he already has a buyer for the White.

That unit will be older than 1980 as White was producing the 8700 and 8900 by 1980 and those would be powered by a 354 Perkins diesel.  Quite a few of those combines around here as there was a White dealer locally back then.

Probably NOT the same size machine, but YEARS ago I was hired to help bale hay/straw for a dairy farm neighbor. He ran an OLIVER 525 ?? combine with a 10' grain header for oats and wheat, all of his corn crop went into the silo Smile. Am I in the "ballpark" that the Oliver machine was comparable in size to a Gleaner K ??

The 8600 evolved from the MM/Oliver 7600, which were gas powered by 318. The 8800 evolved from the 7800, and before that the Oliver 5555 or MM 5297 powered by 383 and later 400 Chrysler industrial engines. Olivers were Meadow green, Molines were Sumac red. The 8600 was most often powered by a natural asp Perkin 354, while 8800 was turbo. They evolved to the 8700/8900 with many improvements, including a much nicer cab. Last of the line was the 8920, the 87 size was dropped.

Between 1960 and 63 White Motor Corporation bought Oliver, Cockshutt, and Minneapolis Moline  tractor companies. So without a drought the companies would of sold the same combine  but with thier name on it until 1969 when White did away with all the names and ran it as White Farm Equipment. Information from Wikipedia so dates may be off a bit, but the same company long before White Farm Equipment.
