John Deere 45 combining corn 4K

[@lewisgeyer1440]

We had a 45. When you’re 4-5 years old it looks like the biggest machine in the world. Dad used it for wheat and soybeans. We had a corn picker also.

[@stewartalbert3523]

During 1958 harvest , combining soybeans i broke two of those in one day ! Fed one a brick that bent the cylinder . Ran over a large rock with the other one ,put a big bow in header cutter bar ! Boss was very proud of me !!!

[@Ham68229]

These are the machines that made farming what it is today. They may be old but, in my opinion, still far superior and better made than those of today.

[@Deandeere4020]

It’s great to keep this history alive!

[@Ham68229]

@@Deandeere4020 Indeed it is. I grew up with many of these old machines and still love watching them work. Truly glad to see yours are in good condition and well maintained. Ever consider showing some of the upkeep, maintenance you do on them? I have my grand dad's '35 non-styled "B", I need to restore it soon. Cheers :)

[@yourstruly5289]

Lots of moving parts there. Wonderful camera work! Yours Truly.

It's great to see a JD 45 combine at work. You been lucky in finding one. Thanks for showing.

[@Deandeere4020]

Thanks for watching!

[@HankN-m1w]

That’s what I started out on, 65 now, brings back a lot of memories. Especially those big nasty chains. We had a round back, and a square back.

[@Deandeere4020]

Awesome!

[@anthonyhengst2908]

So nice watching classic iron in action in the field doing what it is designed to do. You have such nice machinery.

[@JamesTerrell-r8x]

Where in the world did you guys get this... I'm nearly 60 years old and grey balding. Haven't seen anything like it since I was a child.... OMG , talking about a historical treasure, man oh man you got ONE. This brings back memories of my youth. Thanks for sharing....

[@RhGuse]

Neighbor here has a 95 for his primary combine. Not sure how many acres he runs.

[@Deandeere4020]

Got this from a guy in suburbs of Chicago!

[@carrollmccoun110]

I all most bought a 45 back in 1968. It had what I called a 3 row headdress on it. I shed away from it because the engine had a base ball sized hole in it. I later learned a later model 217 John Deere engine would have been fitted on it. I know where a 105 is now that still runs but needs a transmission and naturally some sheet metal work.

[@Thewaywefarm]

Great looking and running 45! We combine some wheat every summer with our JD 40 round back, would love to shell some corn with it someday with a 205 corn head. Great video!

[@chipps1066]

Ours was a squareback,sneezed all the way through harvest every year,a MF205 with a cab and bi-cooler that never worked replaced it,had to leave the door open to survive the heat,I sneezed trough them years too.

[@williammatzek4660]

In 1960 dad bought a new 1959 model 45 combine. It was a high boy. An elevator run up the right side of the combine , dumped into top of the grain tank. The unloading auger folded over the top of the grain.

[@Deandeere4020]

That sounds like a pretty early one! Thanks for sharing!

[@CraigGreen-v7c]

My uncle had the combine and corn head.Did alot of work with it the neighor had the same too. I started out with 55 round back same header.Went to a 105 corn special later they were all good combines.

[@Deandeere4020]

Thanks for sharing!

[@danielbeiersr3642]

I ran the 95 B and 105 JD combines, very similar to the 45 just larger capacity and faster. I graduated to 4400, 6600 and 7700 series later

[@paulreis1648]

Great video nice combine you have taken very good care of it

[@Deandeere4020]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@almusRagsdale]

Wonderful

[@charlietanner6211]

my dad had 45 just like that still here on farm as,nt been used in many long yr good little machine only weak liink is that rattle chain under cyl

[@Corey-dy2cq]

Would love to take a gander at those wind rows and see how many kernels of corn there are per sq yard. My guess is at least 10.

[@ifcinvestor569]

Interestingly it does just as good a job getting only clean corn in the tank as modern stuff does! You really need ear plugs to run that thing though.

[@hershellinnenbringer4058]

We had a round back and later got 45 square back 1969. Both had cabs and no ac.

[@Deandeere4020]

Warm in there harvesting wheat or oats!

[@Blackwellll3066]

Great video

[@Deandeere4020]

Thanks!

[@davidmax9383]

Really like it

[@tfs4499]

Pretty dang cool!

[@Deandeere4020]

Thanks!

[@Stutzvideo]

Nice to see the old iron out in the field. How was the header loss?

[@Deandeere4020]

Thanks for watching! Corn was a little dry so there was some loss yes

[@stevearehart313]

Our 45 had a cab

[@jvvpal3103]

😅good video

[@davecramer9725]

The new ones now days would do half that feild in the time it takes that one to do one round

[@Machines85]

How many ton per day for this old combine?

[@Deandeere4020]

A handful haha

[@Machines85]

@@Deandeere4020 I'm asking for real. I want to know more information about combine machines to easily compare different types and versions.

[@RhGuse]

We had a 3300. I think it was just one size larger than the 45. It could do 4-5 ton per hour. I would estimate the 45 could do 2-3 ton per hour in top shape. It doesn’t look like the 45 has lights, so probably about 20 ton per day max.

[@Machines85]

@@RhGuse thanks

[@Deandeere4020]

OK I’ll check out in the manual and see what info it might have in it and get back to you!
