IN 1965, I came out to Chester as an 19 year old and drove combines on the Kolstad farm....drove JD 55’s obviously with no cabs, can still remember the “itching”in the Barley dust. Great memories!!!
In early 90s i went to Chester and drove for my Uncle Leo Jensens farm. He had passed but there were still family running things. JD 7700 was quite a nice ride compared i am sure..still itchy.
probably International Harvester as we had a lot of equipment from them. Cousin Kenneth might know if they were 141s. It may be a while but I'll try and find out.
@@rmk8259 Hi hope you are well. In the early 70s I saw 2 IH 123 SPV combines working near our farm. They dual wheels on their left side and a single wheel at the back. The 141s were light years ahead from them. I am from South Africa.

Thanks for posted your family videos
You're welcome... just glad my parents took the movies for us to see.
Thank you for the video. The bit at the end showing how many people used to be needed too harvest the crops compared to now.
You're welcome. It is amazing how far farming has come in such a fairly short period of time.
Wish I lived back then, I owns a JD 55B in 1986
My sinuses are plugged from watching!! Omg we have no clue!😂😂😂😂
ya, they were pretty dusty coming off a combine.
That pull type must have been massive
looks that way and I suspect, not the easiest piece of equipment to operate.
Would be interessting to see how yields have risen up in the Palouse the last 60 years.
Here ya go, quite the article: www.palouseheritage.com/blog/tag/Palouse+History

I am 99 percent sure that is 141 combines. I owned one. Much better machine than the Masseys.
