Looking over the Gleaner for sale ads today, I saw this one for a 1958 Gleaner for $1500 (yes, I know this should be in the classified section) and I immediately thought of Creston, since he didn't make the deal on the last $1500 Gleaner at Yale, OK. But as I looked over the ad, there was a link to a story by the Hays, KS newspaper that also carries a video clip of that Gleaner that many of your older guys like me may enjoy. So that is why I posted this here. The link to the Craigs list ad is: http://wichita.craigslist.org/grd/5860293761.html" rel="nofollow - http://wichita.craigslist.org/grd/5860293761.html The link to the newpaper article & video: http://https://www.hayspost.com/2016/06/29/old-school-twentieth-century-farming-in-a-21st-century-world/" rel="nofollow - https://www.hayspost.com/2016/06/29/old-school-twentieth-century-farming-in-a-21st-century-world/ Hope you enjoy this article and video as much as I did.

Update: The same guy, I think, also has a pretty good looking G in another ad for $1800 http://seks.craigslist.org/grd/5856745350.html" rel="nofollow - http://seks.craigslist.org/grd/5856745350.html

Wow!!! Those are beautiful!! My heart's beating 100 miles an hour looking at them. They look awesome!!
I'd jump up and grab them in a heartbeat, but there'e always the problem of not enough shed space and not enough extra $$$ around.  Plus...I already have my dream collector combine, a Super 100!  But since granddad had an A and dad ran a G on custom harvest, I'd like to have them both someday!

| Both of those machines should be in the Smithonian Museum. |
