We used a JD55H hillside machine back in the 70's on our dryland operation. This one had a Hercules engine and a 14' header. It could level on steep slopes and was used in the early 60's to open up fields for the larger Harris Harvester non-self propelled hillside pulled by a D6 Cat. Thanks for the video.
In 1948 I road on the platform of an Allis Chelmer combine to watch the bag fill up so they did runover. My father pulled the combine with a Massy Harris 101 junior. The tractor was loaded on to he flat bed of an old truck and was used to move from farm to farm harvesting grain. Remember going to one farm where there was a thrashing machine with a crew operating it. By the way we had to stop when the bags got full because at five years old they were more than I could handle.
Lol, I own a Allis Chalmer All Corp 72 that is field ready just in shortage, it was built back in the late 1940s, I upgraded to my JD 6600 that I still run today, it is a 1975 model.
we had a ih40 then a 815 ih then a 1460 ih then a1660case ih then a 2366 case ih followed by the model 5088 combine which we liked the best then we retired
You miss some other combines that shape industry here in Australia, Massey Ferguson produced 3342 with Perkins 6.354, 22ft enclosed front, rocktrap, seconds bin hold damaged, small seed n bit thrashing this would give cleaner example. MF 860 was big combine for its time, Claas 500 series adopted rubber tracks.
"user friendly" "ease 0f operation" "straight forward maintenance".... all terms that have been deleated by the high tech computer controlled service technician only or the warrantee is void and you are in court monstrosities being turned out today.

These combines are far from oldest,very misleading title.

Great video but the use of the metric system to tell Americans or anyone is really dumb
