Got that exact loader on our 766. It's sure moved a lot of bales and other stuff. Not nearly as strong as the ad says it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly as strong as the ad says it is though. They say a Leon is one of the strong loaders. I know my old Cancade has more welds than steel on it (slight exaggeration) from years of twisting and shock loads. I wonder if anybody ever installed a loader on one of these 2+2 tractors? Check out the prices from 1981. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twostepn2001 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 It can be done because here is a pic of one. Several years ago over YT some said a loader couldn't be put on a 2+2. I posted this pic I found online then it turned into a why it shouldn't be done. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it should be possible but had never seen it done. Must be a whole new point of view when using a loader and sitting in the back half of an articulated tractor. Getting down in the 30s here today. Winter on the way and time to check the anti freeze to make sure it can handle the coming cold. Wouldn't want to damage that modern $5000 combine as stated in this 1955 ad. Those were the days when you could buy the biggest modern combine for $5000.

Could have bought it cheap but I didn't. Minneapolis Moline had some of the nicest ads in the Country Guide through the 1950s. Usually in colour. Like this one from 1954.

Loadstar Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 In the days long before battery powered grease guns (I don't own one) I guess this air powered grease gun was considered the ultimate greasing tool. Looks like a Farmall H on that pull type combine in this 1948 ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Binder Guy Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I haven't posted here lately. I'm getting slack, Ralph... Here is an ad for the Hart Parr 40 tractor. I know they are very scarce, although I think one or two still exist? My mom's uncle (my great uncle) G.R. Hamilton had one of them near Winifred, in central Montana "a few years back." I sure wish I had the three wheel tractor still. This photo isn't much, but it's the best I have. Gary or OBG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might even have posted this one before. but as winter is around the corner it seemed like a good time. Might be needing these "wheel skis" for your wagons and trailers. From 1952.

Delta Dirt Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Loadstar--- We have been discussing the 123 and 125 SP combines on Old Binder Guy's thread. Do you have any ads that would show sales price of a 125 SP in the 1950 era?? Anybody know?? ******* Scraglycat--- Gotta swipe your 1928 Progressive Farmer ad of the Farmall Regular-----i've got a 1928 version. Thanks for posting.

The closest exception I have is this Cockshutt 428 combine ad from 1960 at $6912. That is F.O.B. Brantford and I guess there would be some freight on it to get out here to Sask. No cutting parts included at that price, just the ten foot pickup header. Did it include the pickup? Maybe not. Anyway, it is interesting to compare to today's prices. There was a time when a brand new combine was priced about the same as a quarter section of farm land here. I think now you might buy a half section for the price of a new combine.

George 2 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The only close one is the 141 and they were $8000 new in 1956 complete with cutter bar, reel, and grain tank for small grain. This was in eastern Ontario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Dirt Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thanks------I had figured maybe in the $5--6,000 range. Looks like the Cockshutt still had the bottom mounted engine in 1960. My dad bought two 141's in 1954+/- --------and ending up parking the 125. When was the 141 first introduced? Moving the engine up top was a big item for the 141.

George 2 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The 141 was introduced for the 1954 harvest season and ran through to 1958. Replaced by the 151 in 1959. The 181 was also introduced in 1959. The 101 was introduced in 1957. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
