Fixing a $300 Allis Chalmers All Crop 66 Combine

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Good video, like to see the old equipment brought to life. Pull-type combines were the only ones available.

Cool. I'm an O/O and I always watch your truck channel for assistance on repairs. My neighbor just bought a model 66 combine and wants to get it operational and I've been helping him a little. He's old and used to farm with one. He just likes to tinker on stuff to stay busy. I thought it was cool when I stumbled onto your farm channel. I'll for sure watch this series and be checking it out more. 👍

I worked for my rent once on a farm and restored a self powered one of these. The big challenge was getting the motor running. Cantankerous beast but once I had it sorted it ran fairly well all day. I then got to harvest 40 acres of Lupins for export seed. The sample we sent off to the Ag Dept for viability, came back with a note saying it was the cleanest sample they'd ever seen. Hats off to the mighty Allcrop 60. My only trouble was one day the chain driving one of the elevators broke and it took me a while to spot it but by then the damage had been done as the horizontal augur had packed in so much seed that it burst the metal work. What fun, laying underneath, way out in the field, hammering the sheet metal back into place and getting it bolted back up. Years later I bought a PTO version and had new rubbers made for it. I used a Urethane compound. Does yours have a tacho for the drum speed?

[@thomasfranklin4307]

I’d like to know how you made those rubbers?

[@seeker1015]

Hi, @@thomasfranklin4307 I had them made by a specialist workshop. We spent some time, the guy at the workshop and I, choosing the most appropriate hardness of compound. Not really rubber but something synthetic, a Urethane in strips about 3/4" by 1" or 20mm by 25mm. They cleaned the metal bars of all the old real rubber which had gone stone hard, and bonded the new stuff on. I think it cost me over $250 Aust, in about 1993.

Growing up we had a combined exactly like that I would sit up behind the where the grain went in , I surprised you could even find one anymore

[@gregholl5011]

These combines were first made during ww2 and were given to farmers IF they would combine from texas to canada. Saved on labor and steel. Both big commodities during ww2

Hello I’m buying allis chalmers pull type combine few weeks I’m excited

[@thomasfranklin4307]

I love this video! I’m working on a 72, and the same parts need replacing plus the grain drag and the floor in that section. I hope I can find parts from the same supplier you mentioned. Did your 66 work well in the field?

[@bbruce995]

I have two of these combines, i bought them both for 500, one is running and the other is for parts, yet the second one is actually in better shape, so I will have to transfer pullies and belts onto the second one once I do some repairs to it, but I won't be parting with either of them, as parts are almost impossible to find. Thanks for your video

[@mattharris77]

Can you send me a link from the trucking channel on how you went about transporting this 66? We just purchased one and will be tasked with getting it home now. Thank you!

[@terrysavage2745]

Nice all crop harvester. Please send me the link where you found your parts. I have one and need canvas.

[@danw6014]

I'm curious where you are sourcing parts for it. My neighbor has a 66. I know it will need new draper canvas. I would like to use it for oats and rye.

[@thesearcherman6652]

Cool video. I do not have a clue what this thing will do. Guess you harvest grain with it? I will really like to see it in operation. Thanks

[@FrancisoDoncona]

Never thought about climbing in, but then again I am 6’5”, but I removed the cylinder from the side.

[@bbruce995]

Its nice to know that I won't have to climb inside being tall as well

[@bbruce995]

i just found original beater bars from an all crop owner, his father had bought parts new in case they failed, they are 60 yeears old and brand new, but my question is, how in the heck did you actually get yourself inside that machine? there is no way i could even get half my body inside.. but still changed them all, now the machine does not shake as much as it used to, those old bars hit a lot of rocks over the years

[@Craigielea]

Where did you get your parts from?

[@tjaycossack6548]

try www.allcropharvester.com

[@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.
