weeting steam rally 2022 working vintage combines

[@martinhambleton5076]

The old 780. My Grandfather had a Massey Harris 780 with a Perkins L4 engine. It started life as a bagger and later converted to a tanker. I have very happy memories of it, and loved the noise it made. Very occasionally my Dad would let me sit on the toolbox behind the operators seat. Well over 50 years ago thinking about it. What a beautiful restoration, well done!

Great memories of working as a boy on the platform of the Massey-Harris bagger combine. I'm not sure if it was the same model, because the one in memory seems much larger; my uncle, driving, seemed very high up. But that may be because I was far from being full-grown. Very different from here, where there's apparently not much yield. If one day-dreamed at all, the currently-fitted bag was overflowing before you had the new one on. After tying up you were supposed to try and drop the full bags as near to previous ones as possible, to form at least suggestions of clusters, for easier picking up later. My memories of it being hectic may be partly due to an extra task we had, to grab handfuls of straw from the outfall with which to plug the many holes in the old sacks!

Lovely to see these machines in action. They may be old but they can still do the job they were designed to do.

Wow, some fantastic bits of kit! Need to go and see something like this next year!

Very good, love see old combines, it seems to me that the combine restorations had been done to a very high standard.

Very nice but should have Massey Ferguson grey painted wheels.

[@neilcart74]

Reginald this model is a 1958 Massey Ferguson the very first models (this being one of them) did have yellow wheels as the transition period from Massey Harris models we are led to believe they had many yellow sets of wheels that had already been produced so used up the old stock (yellow wheels) before then using the new grey wheels on the next batch of the production line hope that makes sense 👍
