- 1957 Allis Chalmers 16mm film "Get More Make More With The 66" Showing the all the various features of All Crop 66 Combine including the new corn head with WD-45 and the new D-14 D-17 Series tractors..
My first new combine. 1948 model 60 with pickup for windrow crops cost was 945 dollars complete. Loved that combine. Done oats, beans, clover and Timothy. I am ninety two years old , I remember the good old days.
Thank you for your service to our country. Farmers are the unsung heros.
i have just bought a 59 allis chalmers 66 combine, its still in its original condition and working order, aside from belt replacements and a few patches, i hope to use it to harvest oats, and to help my neighbours with their harvest. , small farmers are what made these countries we live in , thank you for being a farmer
My father had one about that time also. His was engine driven, not PTO. Was yours engine or PTO?
Three hundred Thousand farmer's can't be wrong!
It worked!
well, it worked, also helped a neighbour who had a field of oats filled with weeds, with the scour kleen on top, i was able to save him 1500 lbs of oats, and seperated over 500 lbs of weed seeds, which my katahdin sheep gladly ate up ( they can consume weed seeds without fear of them growing from the manure) , no just looking for more sieves, so i can do more seeds , this is the best machine i have ever seen, even the new combines wont remove the weed seeds .
i have just bought a 1959 allis chalmers 66 combine , needs a bit of repair, some soft spots in the metal ,pretty well in original condition except for a new feeder belt, which was replaced by the last owner, but i am going to harvest oats and wheat this year with it. and over the winter i hope to clean it up and paint it.
My uncle sold 5 of these combines one week and delivered them with his car .we had a 72 we used for 25 years with a D14 ,D15, and a WD45, and also a D17 diesel, and even an Oliver 66 , 25 horsepower, Farmall 460 and eventually a 1365 cockshutt
Many of these became seed cleaners.
Another great video! Did Allis use a strip of stainless for the cylinder gauge or was it chrome?
On Gleaners they are aluminum, I'd guess the same here.
@@SilverGleaner Good to know, thanks!
My dad bought a 60 used to use on his small dairy farm and it was one of the best combines he ever owned. I remember it had a tachometer to keep track of the cylinder speed for various crops. It was powered by a John Deere 60 with live power takeoff
So many wonderful memories of yesterdays
I had a 66 with a spike tooth cylinder that i ran my navy beans with
Back in the early 2000s my father bought one they used it on a 30 Acre Farm for soybeans pulled by a 1950 ford 8n.
Great vid👍I do believe AC was first manufacturer use jet stream air to blow chaff, although I would hate set speed.
PTO speed or fan speed. Fan speed wasn't adjustable but the wind boards were. They are a pretty forgiving machine to set for cleaning. Easy to run and they do a beautiful job. My brother has a 66 and 72 and two 60s and we run the 66 and it is really easy to run. Even the pto speed isn't that fussy to get exactly right.
SilverGleaner thanks for sharing, sounds like AC combine was not difficult n adjusting was simple, did have adjusted fan few times during the day or weather wasn’t that big of issue. Here morning can be cool until lunch n then at sunset as we harvest cereal crops.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
good machine very beautiful useful make human life happy God bless you ❤
I just bought my frist pull type combine with reel
Does anyone know how well the combine worked with corn?
My uncle had one with a corn head but he's no longer with us to ask. He sold it soon after getting it because he bought an AII Gleaner.
That looks like a D14 pulling that row crop in every clip. All of 40HP. It was a great little work horse. I think Gleaner toke over the Row Crop from AC when they merged.
At 4:50 the decal on the tractor clearly indicates a D17, & earlier in the video, it sure appears to be a WD45 on the tongue, also .
@@theda850two At 59 seconds I would guess that one to be a D14 because it looks smaller. I base that solely on having grown up on these tractors and knowing them so well. Of course some D17s had the smaller 14.9x28 tires which can make it look small but I've only seen them with 16.9x28 and even a few 18.4x28. I would love to have a D14 today.
@@theda850two At 5:13 that one looks like a D14 judging by the air cleaner height and the shape of the rear wheel center. Also at 6:27 looks like a D14. I bet there are a couple WDs in there too. Good old tractors.
@@SilverGleaner ,, it's all good 👍
👍👍
How wide is she
66 inches
WOW. no shields at 4:00...lol many a fingers lost...great videos!
Well Gibbs,, belts aren't terribly injurious to fingers & most folks had the common sense to not put hands on the moving pulleys,, there seems to be a plethora of litigious knot-heads these days.
@@theda850two you are entirely correct, but on the other hand Look at the small hand held Tachometer the guy is using to check the speed of the moving pulleys (at 4:02 ), to me that is getting your hands to close to the pulleys and belts for my comfort,. hard to believe that practice was recommended by A.C. .back in the day
@@donjuan6324 ,, I have and have used that digital tachometer style counter. And I also have one that has a hand on it like a clock. And I still have all 10 fingers :) one just has to be a little smarter than the machine.
@@donjuan6324 It's pretty easy to NOT put your hand in the pulley when you check rpms. Go find an exposed belt pulley on a machines. Take a pencil and touch the end of the pulley shaft and tell me it's hard to keep your fingers out. Mechanics check these type of things all the time, or they used to but now can use photo tachs. Only the careless get their fingers caught. These combines were built before judges allowed idiots to win cases where common sense should have ruled the day and now we all pay a tremendous price in buying products because of it. There are legit reasons for cerain safety needs but the court system went way over the limit. Same with the EPA, MSHA, OSHA, etc etc.
