It's too darned cold to do anything outside today, so I thought I'd post some pictures of my "new" combine I bought the other day. It's a '79 model with only 3100 hrs on it and a 220 header.

Thanks, guys.

Sorry about the year, the previous owner had it advertised as a '79, so that's where I went wrong. I knew their last years were in the late 70's, just not when. Can anyone confirm it's a '78 then? it is SN 254849.

Anyway, It's a belt drive with 3100 hrs. I am the 3rd owner, the guy I bought it from had it for almost 20 years and said It's only been rained on once that he can remember the whole time he owned it. Sure looks like it too. NO rust, just a little dusty. All of their fields were close to home and they had a big open front Morton to park it in at night.

Hey tractor8100,
I bet you'll recognize this combine, It'll be working beside the 6600.

Hogman,
I'm in N. Central Kansas. The pictures with the green grass were taken by the previous owners, they were in the ad for the combine, probably taken early fall. I had a local outfit haul it for me.

I had wheat and then I double cropped some beans on a few acres. It worked great, beans were tricky with the rigid head, but I got most of 'em. The combine preformed flawlessly.

Wow longshot, thats a very nice looking 6600. Our 2 shure would make a great pair together. Where did you find that one, and where did you haul it to?

Sorry, Combiness, you must have me confused with someone else.
