Gleaner G pictures

The corn head is pretty good and worked great last time we used it. There are a couple of hinges off the snoots on the ones touching the ground, but I should have extra of them around. It was getting dark and I need to get better pictures in the day light. The motor is not stuck on the combine as I was able to turn the crank pulley a little by grabing the belt. Just by looking at both combines, one should be able to make a good one out of both. I'm headed to a couple farm sales tomorrow and sat, so I'll try sunday if the weather is good. Suppose to get some rain. When we used these G's in corn, the bin sample was nearly perfect. It'd be fun to run these again. They are easy to work on also.

Buy both of them. I know it looks crappy to have junk laying around but with older machines its very nice to have one around to pirate parts off of.
I'll get you some more pictures. They are my Dad's combines, and he said $300 for the corn head and $300 for both combines. He is pretty firm on that price. I would take both machines. You should be able to make a good machine out of both. We'll be getting in the field in a few weeks. If you want to wait till summer time, I can mess with the engine and get it running.

Thats 300 for both and not 300 a piece right? For 600 dollars you should make sure that one atleast runs.
The corn and soybean special doesn't have the engine. That combine also had AC and worked good. I robbed the compressor for another combine. Just needs a compressor and a charge. The cab is also the one without the engine. All tires on both machine are not flat and are decent. The one has heavy duty rims for weight. We always keep our engines oil free. Too bad you didn't live closer. I'd love to see them go again. It'd have to big a very long trailor. I'll measure them up. If you get a chance shoot me an email. This is my work email and I work Tues-Fri. I really do think this engine would go again. It ran perferct when parked and burned very little oil. We just had to make room in the shed with an M2 and N5. Thanks Greg

Well are most of the pictures of the machine without the engine? Id like to see more pics of the one with the engine to see what kind of condition its in since thatd be the one that I would get up and running. The corn/soybean special is the one that is gutted correct? Do you think Id be better off fixin it back up by takin parts from the other bine or what do you think is best since you know them better then me? Also, how about rust? Have the clean grain and tailings elevators been open or have they held water and are rusting through? Sorry for all the questions, bad part about being so far away!
Yes the last 2 are the ones with the motor and the 2nd one also but both feeder beaters are identical and decent shape. I'd have to look at the elevators, but I believe the doors are open. The one without the engine is a better looking machine and probably a hair better. The front of the one with the engine has a little surface rust up front but looks worse than it is. The one with out the engine has a few more options if I remember right like variable speed cleaning fan and air conditioning. If it was me, I'd pull the motor assemble and put on the other one. It is all on a frame system, radiator and all. It could all be swapped in a day. On a sunny day, I'll get more pictures. Also on the picture above, the one with the sieves is without the motor. They are the extended sieves. The one with the motor has the sieves pulled, but are leaning against the machine. It doesn't take much to change them either. The G's were very easy to work on. The toughest thing was to replace the cleaning fan blades. They had 2 fans in them. They used oak boards.

Also make sure that the doors underneath the combine are open. The one for the cylinder and the one thats on the raddle. G's are easy to work on but kit bashing two together might not be the most fun you've ever done.
