Couple questions on an All Crop 90

I came across an All Crop 90 about an hour and a half north of me and I have a couple questions about it, as I have never been around one before. The guy is asking $1,000 firm. The machine has dual tires, scour klean, extra screens, and a working cylinder RPM gauge. I think it also comes with the original books as well. The owner says it’s ready for the field. To me this sounds like a very solid original machine with lots of add ons. Yes, I know part are scarce for these machines but I would not be running it as like a main machine on the farm, it would be a toy to play with here and there and take to some shows.
(My questions)

1. Is an hour and a half close enough to pull the machine home behind a truck? And if so, would I have to make an off set hitch for the truck or does the hitch on the machine swing close enough to the center of mass?
2. Is 30 PTO horsepower enough to operate the machine well in conditions with a green soy bean here and there in the field, but with no weeds?
3. What is the weight of the machine?

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

I have never had the head off of my 90 so I don't know how difficult it would be. 115 miles is 2 hours at 60mph so will be at least double that if not more pulling the combine. I guess if it were me I would inquire about the cost of an overwidth permit to haul on the trailer intact. If that is not a viable option then I would try to figure out the total time involved with the other 2 options and go with the fastest one.  Don Jr. 

Been a few years ago but I'd load them on a gooseneck trailer, block up under the axle then tie it down and roll on home with it. I only got an oversized load permit when I pulled home a SP100 combine over 300 miles. I never went across scales and never got pulled over, if so I was prepared to claim ignorance. All that said I'd still load it up and haul it home. Less time on the road and having to deal with other drivers, flat tires or overheated babbit bearings on the wheels. If pulling bring a grease gun and extra grease cause the wheel bearings probably aren't sealed roller bearings. Good luck in whatever you choose to do

Put it on a trailer. It’s summertime, warm weather with more than likely 25+ year old tires, and fighting traffic, no way would I road it.

I pulled my 90 and one of my 66's home about 80 miles over some very hilly terrain with an older Tacoma. I didn't have an offset hitch and passed through a few towns (and a couple of narrow bridges) with no issue (just keep an eye on oncoming traffic and watch your left side with it's goofy left-hand cut). $1000 sounds like a good price for the condition it's in. Sickle sections are still available new aftermarket (you have to nip the back off them, but there are new sections that work). Guards are also interchangeable with (I think) some off White combines? (I could be misremembering, but I know there are some that work - I bought some a few years ago). And almost all other parts can be made by a local fab shop with a plasma table and brake press.

If you're into unique and/or Allis equipment, it sounds like a good deal. But if you're just looking for any pull-type combine to do a few acres with, I've come to begrudgingly realize that the all-crops really weren't all that superb (it pains me to say that as I have three all crops). But (in my opinion) the Oliver, Cockshutt, and even Deere and IH PT combines I've had experience with in more recent years are (in my opinion) more robust units and better for the small-scale grain farmer who's not colour-biased. The two Oliver 18's I've been around in particular are pretty beaten up compared to any of mine, but can cut circles around my 90.
