1972 ad for David Shearer, another Australian company producing pull type and self propelled headers.

Interesting cutting headers on those Aus. combines. I don't think they ever caught on here. There was one called a "stripper header" by (I think) Shelbourne Reynolds that just took the heads off and left all the straw. Don't hear much about it anymore.

I nearly forgot the little IH 84 series tractors. They were even available with a cab.

Thanks for those ads Ralph! I don't recall ever seeing ads with the Go Red Power slogan!

I like this Timken bearing ad, it really says 1950s America to me. Family picnic up front and good old american machinery parked all over the yard in the background with the obligatory big red barn.

Noticed the old 12A combine in the picture. We had one. JD put the hitch on the "wrong" side. Anyone know why?

If you are talking about left hand cut, I think at the time people were coverting binders to swathers so you needed a combine with left hand pickup to follow the swath.

Its true, some of those little old combines were left hand cut. Often referred to as "clippers" although I think that was a Massey name. There were a few of them around here years ago.

Here is an ad showing the JD 12A front view. I think it is from my 1953 buyers guide.

While IH stayed with the right hand cut machines.

Great topic! Brings back a lot of good memories of reading & drooling over the pictures in farm magazines

I can't say I have ever seen an IH fridge in anything other than basic white.

Here is another Timken bearing ad featuring a Massey 26 combine. What a job this guy has. Trying to cut through that tangled, lodged crop of wheat with no reel adjustment or pickup fingers. Probably left a bit of crop in the field there.

Allis Chalmers from 1950. Hardly ever saw any of the big U models, mostly the smaller ones.

Time to roll up some round bales with the IH 2400 baler back in 1979.

[ST-470]

Didn't New Idea made IH's round balers?

I have no idea but it could be possible. Anybody else know?

Here is what must be one of the early axial flow combines from a 1979 Country Guide magazine.
