U-C 2,404 Posted November 10 something cool I found a stripper harvester which was invented by an english man in Australia in 1843 and was manufactured with updates by other manufactures until 1930s by some companies similar to this one a beater beats out the grain and all is thrown into the back and later cleaned with a winnower Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loadstar 477 Posted November 10 I might have posted this one a few years ago already but thought it was worth a re-run. Probably from the early 1900s featuring Case road roller and Case steam engine with threshing machine. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never saw one work but I figured they might be good for flax. A way to avoid putting that terrible straw through the combine. https://www.shelbourne.com/harvest/stripper-header/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are going to look into them someday. On the flax, I don’t know if it’s the variety or your climate or what but there has been a little bit of resurgence around here growing flax and the guys I know that are growing it don’t seem to have any problems combining it. Don’t matter what brand of combine either. I have one neighbor that planted a flax/chickpea mix. Turned out good considering the dry summer we had.

IHhogfarmer 617 Posted November 14 Here is some International LB engine literature that I got this past weekend to go with my LB. The date code shows it’s a 1946 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightninboy 88 Posted November 15 You don't see much about those kind of engines being built after World War 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IHhogfarmer 617 Posted November 15 The LB’s were made up until 1948. There were two different sizes as the literature shows. But quite a few more of the 3-5 hp models were made after 1945 according to a list I have. I looked at a 1 1/2- 2 1/2 1948 LB that was completely restored, it could have been mine for $400 but it was 6.5 hrs from me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loadstar 477 Posted November 18 Seems strange to see a big (for 1971) four wheel drive tractor without a cab but it was still considered a luxury accessory in those times. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are there any more details in that ad?? I’m trying to figure out what models they are. I’m guessing the one on the right is the 700. The one on the left I’ve never heard of and it guessing it didn’t make into production. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what came after that but I don't recall any hydrostatic drive models. Unless the bi-directional was? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loadstar 477 Posted November 20 Another good old Massey Harris ad from 1951. Some of the numbers on fuel cost per acre and the amount of land they farmed with just a few horsepower seem hard to imagine today. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
