Vintage Ads

seems like most farms had 2 of those mm combines in the trees. seen one about ten years ago pulled out of storage and left for scrap.

M-M combine ad from 1954.

[Loadstar]

Too bad I scanned this one almost too small to read but I think it is almost the same MM combine. The all new model 168. Never saw many of those around here. Power steering was becoming a big selling feature on new combines back then.

[Loadstar]

Have I already posted this L series truck ad before? I found it in my files uncategorized and can't be sure. I guess it is worth a repeat. Sorry I cut off the edge of the print but I'll have to try and do a better scan one day.

Haying season finally got going here. So here is a 1955 McCormick baler ad. 2 sizes, 6 models.

[George 2]

45 was ok if you could keep the knotters tying. Shear bolt was in a bad spot also. That is why everybody got rid of them when the 46 came out

[Red Ranger]

Ya guys I know all that, I need picture of a 460 wheat land, it should have had fenders like an I 706.

every thing else is stock 460 U.

Let me say, I enjoy everyone's ads, a little late, I know, but happen to have a couple . . .

Good to hear some people find these vintage ads interesting. That 460 looks just as I remember them. (like the fenders are on backwards compared to the bigger wheatlands).

George2 , I don't know much about the performance of the 45 baler but I know IH sold a few model 46 balers around here. Although I think New Holland had the majority market share.

In 1951 you could still buy a hay loader from IH. Now that is some old technology in haying.

Loadstar I look forward to the ads that you post everyday !!!! My scanner needs fixing or a trashcan ,probably trash can

When i get it going I will try to help out

It doesn't bother me a bit if you posted before because my memory ain't that great THANK YOU

[Delta Dirt]

Well-------my memory is probably worse than Kevin's---------nobody is complaining!!!!!

Question about your pull type combine picture: do you have a monitor of the combine functions in the tractor cab??

Thinking about the distance that you are located in front of the combine------plus the quietness of the cab on the tractor made me wonder how you could "feel the combine" as you normally do on the self propelled combines???

Never been around a modern pull type.

That's another colorful picture you posted there.

Anson, you won't find a modern pull type combine. I think JD and IHC built their last pull types in the early to mid nineties. My 7721 is about a 1986 model. A titan II. Yes, control box in the tractor cab has a cylinder tach, various shaft monitors, toggle switches to vary the cylinder and pickup speed. And of course the switch to turn on the unload auger. It is probably true that I don't have quite the "feel" for the combine when I am way up in the tractor cab but I soon get used to it and it does not seem to be a problem. I have a fair bit of advertising on that combine but the one I have on this computer is of the older model (1976) 7701 which was very similar.

[Delta Dirt]

That's still modern by my standards-------am thinking "modern" might enter the picture when you leave the 12 ft cutter bar era and start pulling the combine with a tractor with a cab on it!!!!!LOL

'Course---------I can remember my dad saying: take the new 'M' to do such and such job with.

Years seem to pass faster and faster--------I really don't believe they are putting a full 12 months in our calendars anymore!!!!!!!!!

I ain't complaining either!! lol I really like seeing all these old ads and brochures. Just wish I could contribute more than I have. If I had only saved all those brochures and sales literature I picked up at the dealership when I was kid....

Yes, sometimes when I am posting a "vintage" ad from the 1980s or late 70s I question just how vintage this can be. I remember when this stuff was brand new! How did that happen?

Here is another late vintage ad of something I did not know existed. Apparently there was a corn header option for the 7701 pull type combine. 1976.

[George 2]

Even though the 1682 was never rated for a corn head, there is at least one here in Ontario with a 1043 head on it. I was told about it a few years ago.

[IKS]

I'm quite sure the last JD was a 9501 ;CIH 1682 and Massey Ferguson 852 ,I can't say the last production year of any of them.

There are at least 2 pull type axial flows with 4row corn heads, there is a 1482 north of Chesley also a 914 w/4row .

last year I saw one south of me.

You are right. The 9501, pull type version of the 9500 Maximizer series. I only ever saw one back in the nineties. Saw one advertised for sale here in Sask. on Kijiji. I don't think they sold as many as my 7721. People were just moving away from pull types by that time.

Ray, interesting to hear about the axial flow pull types with corn heads. I'll have to check my brochures but don't recall seeing it as an option.

I know I have posted this 1977 IH 914 pull type combine before but I was noticing their claim to having the widest cylinder of any pull type combine. In the JD 7701 ad they claim a 55 inch wide cylinder. Was the 914 wider or had JD just not introduced the 7701 when IH made this claim?

The 914 would have had to come out before the 7701 for IH to make that claim because the 914 had a cylinder width of about 48". I think the 7701 was came out right towards the end of the 00 series run which would be about 1977. I'm assuming the 914 was out before that. Whats interesting is when JD went to the 20 series, they naturally replaced the 7701 with the 7721 but they kept the 6601 in production right along side the rest of the 20 series.

Yes, that 914 ad must have been printed just shortly before JD introduced their 7701 to claim the title of widest cylinder in a pull type. Up til that point IH was bigger than the JD 6601 (44 inches wide). The 6601 was a very popular machine around here in their day. You could run it with as little as 100 hp tractor according to the advertising.

I don't have a way of scanning brochures yet but I have a 1968 introduction brochure for the 6601 and JD claims its 20% bigger then the next the biggest pull type combine on the market. I think at the time IH's biggest pull type was the 402. I don't know why but for some reason I would love to own a 6601 some day and pull it behind my 1256.

Running a pull type is a nice change from the self propelled. I enjoy my 7721 behind the magnum but it sure lacks the dexterity of the self propelled when it comes to unloading . Harder to see the grain flow when finishing off the truck load.

And I guess JD with their 6601 might well have been the biggest pull type in 68, Although I think the older 106 pull type was a 50 inch wide machine.

At the time Massey's 405 pull type was no competition but later on in the 70s I think they had pretty big capacity in their 751 pull type. Nearly as popular as the JDs around here.

[IKS]

I bought a new 751 in 1980 and run it 25 happy years .I think there were more in this area than the JD's . They were very reasonable priced at that time and you got a lot of combine .

[Loadstar]

IKS, I never ran a 751 but they sold well here so I guess people liked them.

Art, I don't know for sure but suspect it was a simple matter of numbers. Likely JD and CIH found that self propelleds were selling more than pull types so they dropped production . . I know they were still quite popular here in Sask. but then we don't usually have much influence on sales. More people were going to straight cutting with 30 foot headers. You could pick up a 30 foot swath with the pull types but of course it meant an extra operation to swath the crop first.

Here is another pull type that sold well around here. The White 8650. At 45 inch cylinder width I guess it was right up there with the 6601 in capacity. This combine was priced at just over $34,000 1980 dollars fob Saskatoon. About a thousand dollars less than the 5542 self propelled.

JD advertised the 6600/6601 to have the same capacity as the 105/106 although I would have to see it to believe it.
