Very nicely done! If you need anymore parts let me know. I have some NOS and used parts available for these. It looks like this combine has a lot of aluminum panels? That would mean its later WW2 production. The LaPorte plant got ahold of a bunch of surplus aluminum set aside for war production and used it to produce machinery just to try to meet demand. They used it on some corn pickers and rotobalers as well. Problem was it didnt hold up as well as sheetmetal.
@@jimacman1234 Thank you so very much!! You don’t by chance have any of the finishing screens for sale, or any little add ons? Yes it is an aluminum machine which is not as strong as iron like you said but it does not rust out as fast as iron. There was an identical model 60 like this one in the woods too but it was an iron sheet metal machine and boy was it gone. Every single piece of steel metal was ether on the ground or about to be, it doesn’t help that the cylinder side tire was off and stupid ground hogs collapsed it into the ground so moisture could get on it easily. On the original machine the front sheet metal that covered the cylinder, was aluminum and it was full of holes and all bent out of shape. The top of the separator sheet metal where the fins are that directed everything to the far corner was originally aluminum but somebody replaced it with iron sheet metal. Just like you said aluminum sheet metal is not as strong as iron sheet metal. With it being aluminum does make it an uncommon machine to see anymore at least in Ohio, it makes it pretty cool too, because Allis Chalmers was just putting together whatever they could and still made a machine. I would’ve thought that with the war every place would be shut down, but I guess Allis Chalmers supplied the people. I need to do my research, but I can imagine they were a couple of the only brands that were making harvesters during the war. thank you for commenting! Collin
Te luciste Muchacho, solo con elhecho de haber puesto esa maquina el remolque para el taller hasta hacerla andar!!!!!!! Es un super logro!!! Felicidades a ti y tu equipo!!!
I commend you for all of your effort you put into that machine! But the parts machine looks like it would have been much less work to fix up! I'm looking for decent cylinder bars if you know of any that are any good? I have a pretty decent 60A, but they're the worst part of it. I have the 2 row corn head that Allis had for them I'd like to put on it. Unfortunately, the combine the head was on wasn't worth dragging home.
@@jimtrewartha2594 Wow that is awesome! I love the two row corn heads. Always wanted to get a separate machine with one of those. I have two cylinder bars with about 95% left, but there are a couple chunks taken out of them and a little dry rotted. I think I’m going to keep them for spares though. If you go onto www.allcropharvster.com, they made sets of eight cylinder bars, brand new but I’m not sure if they are still doing it. They were quite pricey too. I think about $600 for a set of eight. And yes, like you said the parts machine looked like it was in better shape from the outside, but inside of it, it was pretty much shot. All of the work that I had already done on the original machine it needed the same exact stuff. The sheet metal that the draw chain rides on was completely gone, the bottom of the grain tank was gone, and so much more stuff. That one wasn’t important to me like this one was. I do believe that this is the original combine to the farm that I live on now. That’s one of the many reasons I did not work on restoring the parts machine. Also, the original machine was given to me, so that’s pretty special to me too. So I’m not very familiar with the corn heads on the old ACs, but are they set up for 30 inch rows or like 38? You don’t by chance have a scour clean or any of the finishing screens for sale? Thank you!
