I think KS meant corn/soybean special but why a K instead of a C I don't know but then again I am just guess completely anyhow. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

Does it have a blower on the right side of the engine?May mean sidehill. I am in the house and wont be past my combines till chores tomorrow. I'll check the s/n of my 72 sidehill and 69 standard. Both my combines are just G 77** for the 69 and G22*** for the 72.

| I'd have to look at my F2 but I thought the last 2 digits were the year |

Ours is FKS41883V '79 model year according to original owner and dealer info in check list in manual.
I was mistaken, there is no "S" in the serial number, I believe that was on the old straight F. Sorry

that number makes it last year (72)of production according to Norms book prviding I read it correctly.I'll double check that number when I have the book and the number together.
If I read it right,G started in 68 with # 1001.Last year (72) started w/# 21001

| Here's another vote for KS meaning Korn/Soybean. I've got some L2 books talking about the "KS" models. |

To the best of my memory KS was corn soybean - they just always used K for corn - no one knows why that I can find - without insulting someone :-) the Hydro versions - again my memory - we SN as GHY or G-HY. Later they stamped the letter V or H at the end of the SN to designate Variable speed drive or hydro. Someone who has a Corn Plus might post their SN... KS versions had things like heavier feeder beaters, some VS header drives, different speeds on some sprockets - roller chain vs ag link etc. I do know ordering combines used to take a ling time writing up a T-49. ------------- When told "it's not the money,it's the principle", remember, it's always the money.. |
