cjf711 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 A bit off topic, but we own 1680 serial number 1. Which is kind of neat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's in the shed now with the doors drifted closed, I will get some for you though. Nice machine, reverser, factory 4WD, long unload tube, paint is pretty nice but we never got it washed after harvest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utility 64 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 There is a member of this forum who had one of the first Axial Flow combines. It was a 1440 if I remember correctly. I can no longer find the photos he posted on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utility 64 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Axial Flow combine harvester in front of the Angers factory (France). Factory which assembled 1420 models; 1440 and 1460 From the end of 1982 until the acquisition by CASE. The factory was closed and the machines were built in East Moline (personal photos) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drysleeves Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I happened to be on a tour at East Moline one winter day in 1978 when the first 1480 was built. It wasn't yet painted and we were near the end of our tour when our guide pointed it out to the group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have hopped in it and drove it home.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drysleeves Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The thought crossed my mind. Back in the day farmers within a reasonable distance of East Moline would crawl in the cab of their new machine and pilot it home. Not sure what that really saved if you were a couple hours away by automobile but it happened! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drysleeves Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I honestly don't know. It went on in the late 60's and into the early 70's but the powers that be evidently ended the practice because I never heard of it after the Axial - Flow combine was introduced. I'm going to ask one of the "Old Hands" from then to see what went on as it seems like a lot of fuss and bother just to avoid freight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unheard of now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

234-IA Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 If the 234 had a shelling unit the photo could be captioned "Axial-Flow prototype with two production machines" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
