Those old Gleaners were good old machines. I still have my old E and you had to reach through a little window to engage the separator. Some of those old ones had a cab that was built out to the side so you didn't reach outside to engage the separator. My Dad's old E you reached through a rubber flap so you didn't let cold in by opening a window..... that was how the factory cab was. When did Deere come with all hydraulic swing unload auger where you didn't have to leave to cab to latch it?

Our two 6600's are 1977 models, and they've both got a hydraulic spout.

As I recall 1978 was the last year of the hundred series John Deere combines, the 66, 77, and 8820s came out in 79 and they had the first good unloading augers, you could move them hydraulically while they were unloading. The hundred series had a cylinder that swung them out but you had to latch them down and half the time you had to have somebody push on the auger and help it out to fold it out. It’s been a long time since I was on a hundred series my father had a 74 4400, 78 6600, and a 75 7700 up until 1984 and he traded them all 3 off for a new 8820. I don’t see how people find parts and keep these old antiques running still.

@@duckodb_4389 You aren't wrong about the new style turret augers. Way better. As far as parts go, there are some bigger combine salvage yards not too far from where we live. Well, that and the fact all the real work's done by our CR series New Hollands, that is. The Deere's are just for a couple hundred acres of small grain in the summer.

That chattering in the cab he’s talking about is not good. It means corn is going over the sieve and back through the machine that should not be happening. He needs to open the sieve up so more falls through and goes to grain tank and not back through the machine again.
