That old girl is a beaut. We had one just like that when I was a kid back in the 70s. I can even remember the straight cut kit that came with it. Just drop the pick up and add a batt reel and a few twisty belts and bob's your uncle you could straight cut. Back then my dad would seed wet spots later in the spring when it dried up more. The low spots would be too green to swath so they would be left standing and then cut straight later with the 90 special on straight cut detail. Man the memories that vid brought back. I can't believe that thing still runs - thats a special piece you have there.

what a super display. I grew up on a farm and raised by my grandparents. he was a manager so I got to do lots of things. I left the country in 1957 for the big city but I remember one time I got to run a combine for a few minutes and as a kid it was fun. I know it was a massey Harris but have no idea what year but it was only a couple years old. They used to put me on a small 4 cylinder case doing raking on the hay. The only one I could run because it was the only one I could reach the pedals. I know there was a couple WD9's on the farm. lots of memories.

I left the farm in 64 at 16 and never saw either of these machines. I am from SE Missouri and we had a few MH tractors around but not combines and lots of Farmalls but no W series. Lots of Ms, Hs and 400s. Lots of JD combines and I never saw grain cut and windrowed we just used headers and cut it as we gathered it. Thanks for the video it was great seeing those machines working.

My grandpa had one of these back in the 50s as well as a John Deere Clipper. First combines my dad and uncle ever ran as kids. Upgraded to a Massey 410 later on and I believe that was the first combine they had that had a cab of some sort on it. A lot different than the 2388 and pull type 1682 I run today. People say the 1682 is outdated but with the 7140 Magnum running it, it'll keep up with the 2388 easily. Simple and easy to set too. I swath all my crops, so I don't even mind the fact of having a pull type. You in Saskatchewan too?

We had a 1482 that a snoopy or "anteater" pulled it with and then later on a 1680. The reason it'll keep up to a 2388 is axial rotors. The rotor size really didn't change much (if you were on an 80 series). the pull-types also had more grain capacity than the self-propelled ones. As long as you had the PTO power to feed the pull-types, they'd hammer the product through. Especially for malting barley, nothing comes close to axial-flow. The new stuff though with twin rotors and all the bells and whistles; yah, those are some nice machines. Expensive though... Lang area (N.N.W. of Weyburn)
