Re: JD in action: 4435 and 4400 in soys

Some interesting finds there Sam. Isn't the 4435 a European model? It looks a lot like a European Combine.

I would say so! Looks very much like the German made 1060 or 1070 series to me...

I had no idea that you were getting European JD combines over there - thought it was only the other way around

"side screen" We call that a "flat fan". Yes that is a old 4400, note the door to the cab is open (no A/C). I hade a 3300 like that once (flat screen). Nothing but a bunch of trouble.(also no A/C)

That sure is an old head also, yellow real, pitman arm, no header control, been there done that, don't want to go back.

Nice pics you have been posting here! + 1 for ya.

Q: Why was it that the combines had to have the engine up next to the cab, for a periode??
I can't really see the good thing about it --> There's the noise and heat from the engine coming into the cab and you had the offset cab

Now WHY would you ever want all that???

Yes, Dphinton, the Model 4435 is as German as the Black Forest.
Now on the 4400, that one is at least a 1972 model. It could be older, but is definitely not after.

Aging a 4400

A few quick things to notice. Prior to 1973 or so, the ladder landing did not have the offset to the rear. Also, the cab had a "beak" to the front, and the door would open to the rear, to pick up more dust.
