I often do show production dates and general specs when I show tractors. Corn pockets and combines are a little tougher to track down all the details on. I have a fairly complete literature collection on every major brand from 1960 though 2020. Tractor manufactures often print a new sales brochure on a tractor each year so it’s easy to track a production run from start to finish. With corn pickers the farm equipment manufacture often printed one brochure and never updated it again as the corn picker was a lower selling unit and had no changes. With combines models like the John Deere 45 shown in this video were produced from 1945 to 1969. Although the 45 in this video is a later 1966-1969. If I can pin point production I like to share it. If I am unsure I don’t like to guess. Over all all the machines you see in this video minus the corn belt corn picker loading the Jeep F11 were built from the late 1950’s through the 1960’s. Thank you for watching.

These are 38 inch rows. Wide rows like these were common through the late 60’s and began to give way to 30 inch rows in the 70’s. I grew up around a Case 1060 combine that had a 3 row corn head. I hope to find one to film some day.

@@bigtractorpower He had 3 row narrow corn heads squeezed down to 28" rows for both the Case in the late '60s and 3300 JD early '70s, he eventually went up to 29" rows in '81 when he bought a IH 800 planter and couldn't squeeze it down to 28". He didn't go to 30" until he switched back to a Case combine with a 1063 cornhead in '91.
