I used have a 1135 open station on 20.8 x38 and I used it to pull a 32 ft crust buster springtooth and used it on a large double disc drill for planting wheat. Man that rascal was a dirty ride. I can still remember the smell of the soil and the feel of the cool night air running that thing. I worked 12 hours a day as heavy equipment mechanic and I’d farm at night and weekends. Talk about burning the candle at both ends. When I got home 12-1 am all you could see were my eyes and teeth, I was that dirty!!! lol fun times though!

We had an 815 from about 1987 to 1998 - great machine. Not 1 problem sold it with the farm to a neighbour - he had it for maybe another 7 or 8 years and had no issues with it either other than he replaced the head gasket. He lost the farm and the guy that bought it sold off the machinery in an auction. The guy that bought it tried driving it home in a major thunderstorm and put it on its side in a ditch. After they pulled it out he finally floated instead like I told him he should do.

I believe these ended production in the late as the Farmers could actually still get the 6,7,8, or 915 yet in the first year or two of the 1400 series axial flow. Not too many farmers got them, though, as the axial flow was an instant success.

Since you must not have watched any of the other videos, welcome to the channel! This was bought on open auction but I am sure it is for sale whole if you act fast. Then it can sit and rot at your place until it gets bought for scrap by someone else. Some guys are spoiled but more guys work their butts off trying to make farming in 2024 actually work.

You must be new here. I drag junk out of the weeds all the time and put it back to work. Not sure how that makes me spoiled rotten. This combine has sat outside the better part of 25 years and has a lot of rotted through sheet metal on the threshing components. It makes absolutely no sense to the to put it back in the field when I can sell the motor out of it for $3000 and pull parts so the very few others out there running a 915 can keep theirs running. My newest machine is a 2005 Gleaner combine and still use multiple machines daily that are well over 40 years old. Next time you want to lose your temper find someone better to pick a fight with.

Neighbor ran 2 of these for years, still has them actually. Corn with one and beans with the other. One sits outside and I see it nearly every day. Cool looking but you're right, just not useable anymore. Trying to get parts would be near impossible. Boehm farms on here made a dolly like you mentioned and pulled a combine a long ways with some really hilly country. It looked sketchy but worked great. Your idea with the trailer worked fine and was good thinking.
