Laura, you talk about the good old days of the 70's and I think of the good old days of the 50's. Of course, I'm 75 years old and watched my granddad farm with an Allis-Chalmers model B and a hay cutter that was 5 feet across and combine that had a 4 head cutter bar. Good to see you're keeping the "old" stuff running and remembering your heritage. Thank you.

Lol, I am from Western Pennsylvania where much of this kind of equipment is still in use. We are not as large a farms or or is flat a ground most places is what you people have out there. That I can remember our neighbors buying a brand new 6600 1977 and thinking that why a 13 ft grain head that's huge will never ever have anything around this community any bigger than that

Laura’s first pass in the combine immediately reminded me of the joy my Granddaughter was experiencing. When you get as much joy and fulfillment as Laura does from her profession, you are officially beating the system. Farm on, Laura and Grant!

Just a little note, I was on my uncle's farm back in the late 40's and early 50's. He had a dairy farm and we milked between 40 and 50 head of cattle. I remember our corn fields. We used a picker that just cut the corn and blew it into a wagon. We then brought it down to the silo and had a chopper/blower that blew the copped corn into an upright silo. The chopper ran off the tractor via a long belt. What fun. He never did get a combine, he just stayed with what he knew. I am now 86 years old and I have found a couple of channels that remind me of the old days. Yours is one and I am enjoying them very much. Your old equipment brings back many memories. Of course my uncle didn't have much use for John Deere or Farmall equipment. He was a Massy-Harris tractor guy. Have a wonderful day and God Bless

Quite fascinating! I’m 66 and lived out in the country with lots of neighbors farming all around. Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s I remember equipment just like this. No farmers had semis. All of them had grain trucks just like yours. I can remember one neighbor having a combine almost just like yours, but with NO CAB. Harvesting soybeans was brutal for him.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. This was so fun to watch and way more advanced than the method we used. I grew up on a small farm in central Minnesota. In the early 1960's we used a true corn "picker", not a combine. The picker delivered the whole ear of corn to an attached wagon. The whole ear was then transported to our corn crib for storage or to the grain elevator near by. On are best years we could hit 100 bushels to the acre and then we thought we hit a gold mine!

Laura, I am 71 years old. I went to college at Washington State University in Pullman which is in the heart of the Palouse country which is the wheat growing capital of Eastern Washington. I was in school from 1973 to 1976. That was right at the beginning of the use of the kind of combines similar to what you feature in todays video. Just ten years earlier than that wheat farmers in the Palouse were using crawler tractors with pull behind combines. Wheat farmers in the 70's in the Palouse would have never believed what kind of machines would be in use today. The wheat farmers of the '70's were grateful to finally have air conditioned cabs. The machine dealers back when I was in school were selling John Deeres, Steigers, Gleaners, Internationals and others just to name a few. The average wheat farm in the Palouse in those days was about 1500 to 2000 acres. And most of that was made of rolling hills that were challenging to plant, let alone harvest. Lots of Stearman biplanes and Grumman Ag-Cats and Ag-Wagons were still in use for spraying. All of them were using big radial engines. No turboprops back then.

We used a John Deere 940 combine (German made) with a 4 row sunflower head on it. No graincart, we make use of 2 x 10 ton trailors and delivered the sunflower at the local coöp. About 5 to 15 miles on the public roads. Willem Wierenga South Africa

The much more would include a Hydro-drive in the combine, more than likely that 6600 was gear driven I think some of the late model XXOO SERIES JD came with the option with a Hydro, but maybe just the 7700. Can’t imagine what a pain of opening a corn field with a gear driven combine and having to shift from forward to reverse taking off the headlands

The wheels on the "new" green truck are 'split rim' wheels. The were affectionately known as "suicide rims", because they were notorious for exploding off the tire during reassembly after a repair or replacement of the tire. Please be cautious when working on the tires. I would highly recommend replacing the old suicide rims with modern ones for safety.

Hi Laura, Grant and Gage When changing tires on trucks with cast spoke wheels the “tabs” are called dogs. Obtaining the proper alignment is important. To check this simple place a block on the ground next to the tire and then rotate the tire to verify the wheel is on straight. Loosening the dogs and moving the wheel on the spokes will help to get the proper alignment.

Planted with a two row planter and harvested with a one row corn picker. Then shoveled the ears off the wagon into a corn crib. I'm 83 and can remember those days so clearly.

I grew up as the grandchild of an Austrian Farmer keeping cattle and producing milk, milk products and beef. When I met my wife we visited her home country poland where I sae combines and arable farming for the first time directly in progress… gotten curious I asked the farmer ( our neighbour) if I could help them… and being used to move agricultural equipment I ended up on an old bison combine from the 70 ies! It was loud, dusty, greasy and too hot (no cabin, just a kinda sun roof) but I loved operating it! It was so real and I was proud that I could manage this mechanical monster… and my respect for the farmers back in the days rised into the unmeasureable!❤❤❤

I am sure there are many great farmers out there that still use this same exact model combine, one of the most popular from JD ever!! The farms around me in the 70's and 80's, we were all mostly 4 row corn heads and an IH 715 or 815. When I attended Iowa State in 75-77, my roommate worked on the ISU dairy farm, near campus, and on Saturdays when they were combining corn nearby in Ames, I would go out there and drove some on a 4 row JD combine, was the best back then!! This was without a doubt, your best video yet!!!

This episode may be one of my favorite. It brings back so many memories of when my dad owned and operated his one man farm equipment repair shop just west of Seward Nebraska in the mid 60s and 70s. I was in my teens back then and me and my 3 brothers would help out with tearing down engines, driving tractors to and from local farms to his shop for repair. You got it right about the frustration farmers experienced back then. Loved watching you and Grant operating that old combine and truck! Looking forward to watching more videos of your adventures with newly acquired vintage equipment. Thank you!

Grant and Laura. Go to the store and get a bunch of cans of free all. It is amazing. It's like pb blaster on steroids. I know that O'Reilly auto parts carries it. Will help all the sticky and stuck parts move again.

Grant & Laura those are WIDOW MAKERS front rims, DO NOT fiddle with them. Scrap them ASAP, and find different ones. Most garages WILL NOT touch them.

Thank you. I wanted to check if anyone else caught the split rings. Widowmakers. That's why you don't see them anymore. Loved those old C60 trucks. They held up to heavy use. I've never seen a two speed rear end on a C60 though. Usually had them on heavier class trucks.

Man this is priceless. Brings me back to my childhood riding in the combine with my grandfather in the early to mid 80’s. Most of our equipment was red. Not green lol. But basically the same mechanical old iron great video
