All Crp 66

Hi it's a nasty day here in Lawndale, NC and I've already read every thing I can find on the All Crop 66.  So has anyone done much restoring.  I Think this one is in reasonable shape for a 50 year old.  I know I will have to replace the  draper, and I think the concave.  The last crop this thing harvested was soy beans about twent years ago.  I think it still has the soy bean screan in it.  I bought it from the son-in- law of the original owner and I talked to the son of the original owner.  Both said it was bought in 61, so it must have been on of last ones made #B72470.  They both also said it has been shed kept for the last twenty years.  Originally it did not have a hopper just a bagging attachment.   Later a hopper and unloading auger were added.  I've read everything the Yaz All Crop guy has written and a few other sites and some blogs. 

Yes,  We had a lot of fun getting it to Lawndale.  It is most under shelter now.  The doors to my barn are 12 X 12 but we coul not get it in ther due to the tongue off set.   so it is backed under a 12 foot deep shelter which leaves a little bit of the tongue and draper out in the weather.  Long term plan is to buil it an equipment shed that it will fit in.

Regie,

I have pictures but I don't seem to be able to cut and paste to this site.

You  have to upload pics to this site or you can use photobucket.com and paste the image file with your text to make it show up in a post.

Randy, I sent the pictures to you.  Let me know if you don't get them

   Regie, have not recieved an email yet ?

Randy, I resent them, I think I didn't get r copied on the email address the first time.

   Regie, the bin and auger are from a 60 or an early 66 "Small Bin". The hydraulic lift and crop lifters are nice bonuses !

I have several combines that I still use.   The 66 works good.  The long drive belt on the back of the combine will flip off when it gets worn.   I believe a pix 240 belt will replace that.  The drapers are available but pricey.  Also the clean out doors need to be opened up and cleaned out.   They seem to collect moisture and rust out from the grain that stays in that area.  

Here is a 27 picture slideshow of 66 in beans this year.

Bob, thanks for the slide show.  It is still wet and nasty here, iThey claim the sun will come out today, NOT YET.  After I cleaned out the horse stalls I spent some time climbing around trying to get a handle on how to begin taking it apart.  I think I will pull the reel off first.  Several of the wood arms are broken and several of  the  blades are broken or missing.  I have some white oak I can make the arms out of and I think I'll make the nes blades out of plywood.

 

Yeah, the sun was a nice change today in this neck of the woods.  That's a neat idea for the tree house.  If anybody else wants an AC tree house, I think our parts machine's platform could be salvaged.  But seriously, yours is at least the third one I've heard of in this area that had the platform switched out for the same reason, including my Grandpa's 66.

Regie  I live at suhshine about 20 miles west . Dad and uncle got a 60 in 47 and it come knocked down . They put it togather and custom cut  for years It was a bagger . one year i tied sacks for six weeks and that was about a nornal year . It is still in shed where dad put it 82 . Uncle grandson owens it now but i have the assembly manuel. Not for sale to many memorys.

Regie,  Is Lawndale near Belwood?  Grandson and I have been attending the show there for the last couple of years.   We will have a couple of tractors at the Hickory show so if you make it there stop by.   Tim
