Allis Chalmers All Crop 66 Combine Oats, 2019

[@DLTJR1959]

My dad sold AC from 59-83. We had a 66 and I tied sacks in oats as a youngster. You have a good machine. They were very popular around here. Go slow and they do a good job. Perfect for the small homestead farmer. We eventually got an old Gleaner to replace the 66. Thanks for the video. I don't miss tying sacks or bucking hay at all.

This brings back so many memories. I gre up in Southern Michigan and we farmed 50 acres. My Dad pulled this combine with a Farmall M .

[@diytips4028]

Thanks for sharing. My dad harvested a lot of wheat and red clover seed with his.

[@1murder99]

In 1958 in Southwest Oklahoma we had a bumper crop of wheat but the ground was to wet to harvest it. All the custom cutters moved north long before they could cut ours. So dad bought a machine just like that. We spent a couple days repairing it and harvested our own wheat. All the wheat had fallen down and was laying flat on the ground so going slow was the only way to get it all. We pulled it with our 1942 U Moline tractor. The wheat made over 60 bushels per acre so it was well worth the price of the combine to get it harvested.

One of these sitting on my parents property for 30 years. Farming Simulator got me wondering how it worked. Thanks!!

[@Duncan1900Homestead]

Hey that's food you won't have to buy plus you know how it was raised. Awesome video y'all!

[@reddutchessfarm4917]

Exactly! Thanks!

[@duwaineredfield9289]

granddad used mccormick deering swather (actually a binder) to swath the oats a had a pickup attachment in front of the canvas. the hardest thing about these combines was putting new cylinder bars in every 2 years t hey had a rubber strip that wore out oats soybeans

[@charlesstorms7410]

Got one over on ya. I have the early ceral number that had the tank auger on the front. Still works great. In times past i built the pan adapters for the header to harvert sunflower. The corseness of the sunflower stalk however was hard on the drapers

[@paulbeiler8487]

Wow! That’s cool! I remember you said you wanted to try oats sometime, and I wondered how it would turn out for you. Looks good, thanks for posting!

[@reddutchessfarm4917]

Hey Paul, great to hear from you! Hope your doing good. It was actually dry enough to plow the last week of March and do dirt work up until mid April. Then the rains came......... We planted the oats April 3 and didn’t get a great stand, but good enough to learn a few things. Thanks for watching and stay in touch!

[@kerrysupporter]

That’s a nice machine. Pity so much weeds came up in that crop. It must have been a wet year

[@jimputnam2044]

Not a bad job considering how much grass and weeds were in that field. Did a decent job of seperating the oats.

[@jerrylansbury9558]

Most dont know it.....but the all crop 66 was meant to go the wrong way around the field ,cut / harvest only the heads . After finishing.....go the opposite way around the fields and under cut the stubble with a sickle mower or hay bine and bale it for straw. They were designed for this !

[@leelovstad6902]

Now, after 60 years, I understand! This is exactly what my Mother and Dad had me do.

[@MrKen-longrangegrdhogeliminato]

That is alot of weeds in oats field. How many times did you need run the oats through a cleaner? Thanks for sharing the video.

[@reddutchessfarm4917]

Yes, they were weedy. The machine did a good job and we did not have to do any additional cleaning. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@BillTheTractorMan]

My grandpa had a few of these. He tried for years to get them to do a good job, all of them ended up scrap metal. I know he only got one of them in like new shape, the other two were parts machines.

[@claudioanthon2354]

enjoyed seeing it. we had a ScourKlean on ours and I think you needed it to get that wet weed seed out. 1. The drive belt for the cylinder and all is in the middle, so there must be a gearbox 90 deg from the pto? 2. also doesn't an auger recirculate the chaff through the cylinder a second time?

[@VWFamilyFarm]

Nice job! That would be very handy to have.

[@reddutchessfarm4917]

Thanks! We also hope to use it for soup beans (pinto, kidney, great northern) and emmer wheat in the future. Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a blessed week.

[@randalwashburn]

That pitman stick bearing/bushing for the main cutting head needs greased. (at the beginning) Ran one of these years ago as a kid. The sounds are so familiar! LOL

[@reddutchessfarm4917]

Thanks. I will definitely check that before we use it again. I tried to find everything that could be greased. We have a one row new idea corn picker too. No bigger than our patches are it takes longer to get the old machines greased and ready to go to the field than to do the actual harvest! LOL. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@mikecalhoun2645]

That was the first combine I knew of that my dad had

[@Markslife101]

That's pretty awesome!

[@reddutchessfarm4917]

Thanks! And thanks for watching and commenting!

[@robertheyes3975]

Very cool to see. Thanks

[@zacharylindsay2178]

I just bought my frist allis chalmers pull type combine

[@abdullahiadamu5664]

I thank you for showing this video. Can this machine be configured to be attached to 3 front hitch linkage of a tractor and the harvested grain goes to the tractor trailer attached to the back of the tractor? This may be a cheap innovation for someone in African who would want to go motorized mechanized farming since the cost of modern combine harvester may not be affordable. Kindly reply please.

[@robertbishop1908]

What was the yield on 1/2 an acre ? How clean is the grain, out of the harvester ? Interesting video.

[@reddutchessfarm4917]

First time planting oats. We planted right out of a bag of feed oats from the mill. Broadcast them and dragged them in with an ATV and an old set of bedsprings. Didn’t get a great stand so only yielded about 15 bushels. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@bobbyclark7853]

I need the screens for mine do you have any idea where I might get these. Or the dimensions maybe make them myself

[@oldsouthhomestead7118]

Man that thing is cool, Did you find it in that good of shape or did you restore it?

[@reddutchessfarm4917]

Actually bought it as is. When I went to cut the oats it was already set for wheat so only had to tweak a couple of settings and it was good to go. Worked great! Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a great day!

[@roymartin3410]

Question. What RPM are you running at?

[@danielbeiersr3642]

You cut your oats green??

[@danielonesra_eo]

How big a tractor (hp) do you need to run this?

[@chrishedding943]

Wow you really need a new chaffer

[@chrishedding943]

Where are your support rods for the unloading auger?

[@landonjones1245]

Whats the horse power of ur tractor

[@FrancisoDoncona]

Fan vanes blowing too much air, you are loosing everything, oats are light unless you’re were reseeding lol.

[@reddutchessfarm4917]

That’s possible! I’m a novice with these old machines. This one is probably 10 years older than me. I do have the original owners manual and set the fans as it recommended. I may slow down the air next time and see what happens. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching!

[@zacharylindsay2178]

With new reel

[@stephensummerlot3288]

So many places exposed to loose a finger or arm.
