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.
Anyway If anyone knows where to get finishing screans, drapers or any other nuts and bots info. problems to look for how to take apart, etc I'd be glad to hear from you.
I have a cople of manuals missing the cover pages, one is a dealer asembly manual for a 60 and the other appears to also be an asembly manual in more detail for a 60..

| Is this the one that was for sale on Craigslist in Taylorsville, NC? I called about it the day after it was sold. It was less than 6 miles from my house. Good luck with it. |

| 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. |

Serial Number B73355 was the very last 66 Big Bin built at LaPorte in 1959. So either they bought this used or it was left over inventory at the dealer in 1961. B72470 would be within the last month of production of 66's I believe. Your combine is the newest 66 I have heard of and would be a prime canidate for restoration.

| Also I've heard form three people that it was bought new from the AC dealer in 1961. I figured leftover stock, I was told that they paid $1,000.00 for it still a lot of money in 1961. The son said they did custom combining all over Alexander County. Form 61 to late 80's or early 90's is a pretty good run for a combine. |

Regie, Welcome to the AC site. I live about 60 miles west of you. I lived in Lawndale while student-teaching East-Burke H.S.,(Appalachian State Unv.) over 36 years ago!
I now have to drive way down your way to Elmore's Feed, just to buy Pioneer certified corn seed.
I grew up with AC's here on Dad's and Gpa's old 'Biltmore' dairy farms.
You'll really enjoy the AC 66, while it's running right, and may cry when crawling around working on it...ha!...esp. on hot itchy days!
Adam (Allisnut) also lives near you, and (like Murph) he's really talented, and can offer you good advice on fixing anything!
Drop me a PM, if I can help!

The origianl owenr did not want the bin, he had his son tie the bags. His son had to tell me all about it. Later when he couldn't find any one to tie the bags he had to get a bin. It cost him $200.00. I met the great grandson who is very interested in the machine and wanted to restore it. but he in HS (9th grade, I think) and does not have the resources. In some ways I'd like to return this one to like new condition and get it back to the great grandson. I think that would be something to be able to farm with something your great gradnfather farmed with. In the meantime I need it to harvest a few things for me.
At one time he had a mentally challanged man doing the bag tieing, but the man could not operate the lever so the daughter rode along to flip the lever.

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. Sometimes they have combine parts at the AC show at Paris. They use all the models and it is worth going to to watch and learn

We have 3 All crop 66's. Our parts machine has the same bin attachment shown in
your pictures. That would be the small bin (18 bushels) with the auger on the front of
the bin. I am not using that set-up now. If you need parts for that bin and auger let me know. We use our 66 in soybeans every year, and it works great. If you want to see a picture of the 66, go to http://www.allcropharvestor.com" rel="nofollow - www.allcropharvestor.com and it is on the home page.
The soybean screen has 3/8 iinch holes in a staggered pattern. We bought all of our parts, drapers, belts, etc. for Tom Yaz. Every part worked great and shipping was very
fast. Tom shipped some extra screens to. Follow all of the set up instructions it should
work great. Do not forget to grease each spot. (About 80 zerks.). Also when done, at the end of the day loosen the lower draper, lift up the upper draper, and loosen the
large main drive belt. Make sure all elevator chains and grain drag chain have the proper
tension. We loosen the rear belt in the off season for storage. Good luck.

On the tanks, be sure to clean out the bottom of the unloading auger; especially the 18 bushel one. I have yet to see the bottom auger/bowl part on those that wasnt rusted out due to rotted grain. ------------- If its not an All-Crop, it all crap! |

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. |

| Tom, sun finally came out this afternoon. I climbed up highenough to look in the bin and you are right, I think there's soy beans left from twenty years ago along iwith the trash. By the way the bagging platform that was originally on it is now in a wall nut tree. Some years ago the original owner's grandson wanted a tree house. Papa put the platform up there for him. |

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. ------------- '41 C w/Woods L503 mower, #3 mower, 2-way plows for C |

Regie, you should come out to the tractor show in Hickory this May 18-20. They're combining the Wheat Harvest Day from last June with the show this year, hopefully the crop will be ready in time. There should be at least one All Crop there... the new owner of my Grandpa's 66 had it out last year and I expect he will this year. Here's a link to my post from this past year's harvest event, including a photo or two... http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31954" rel="nofollow - http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31954 ------------- '41 C w/Woods L503 mower, #3 mower, 2-way plows for C |

I have the the asembly manual for this one, just missing the cover page, and the dealer set up manual. This was was delivered to a farm, not the owners and started custom combineing in 61.
I thought it was a cute story about the tree house. I liked the story about the owners daughter riding along to flip the lever too.

| Tom, Yesterday I could not get the pulley off the reel shaft. The set screw seems to be gone. I got aout a wheel puller, but that will ot work as the shaft is hollow at least on the end. My son says the shaft is bent and we might want to replace it. Any thought on straightening it, or replacing it. If the shaft is hollow all the way through, could we drive a steel rod through it to straighten it and maybe strengthen it? We have some time before that's an issue, in the mean time I'm taking the real apart one bolt at a time and taking pictures as I go. |

Jeffery, great picture, Nice day here but my back has decided it does no0t like me. I managed to get the stalls cleaned and spent some time looking at the combine. There is sprocket about half way between the right wheel and the one on the bin, I'm not sure what it's for. It does not drive anything. If it is to tension the chain then I'm not sure how it works. My other idea is that it left over from the conversion form bagging to bin. |

The shaft and sprocket under the bin is what would have been the correct drive for a Big Bin 66, whether it was a bagger or bin combine. The sprocket and shaft that go through the bin is what was correct for a 60 or early 66 small bin, which is what your bin is from. You could use either one if all the parts are there. ------------- Randy Freshour,Member Indiana AC Partners, http://www.rumelyallis.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.rumelyallis.com |

Congrats on the purchase, I'm currently neck deep into an All-Crop 40, I've located some cheap canvas from Colby Canvas in Colby, Kansas. They have the original white canvas for 375.00 (at least original for the 40) or they have a rubber (not original but a lot cheaper) canvas that is 175.00 for the main draper.

| We pulled the unloading auger and shoot off today What a load of junk came out some of it was pretty ripe. As Tom told me, there is a revese threded not that holds the pulley etc on There was on the back side what looked like an oil plug that once we got the auger out we could figure out any use for. We're still a littled puzzeld about how the whole thigns was puth together. we pulled the unloading shoot and it auger off in one piece . To take the auger out of the shoot will be a trick with a hole in it. But I'm hoping I don't have to take it complete apart. |

| Tom, if you looke at the side view picture you see the sprocket I'm talking about above the tire. I think the sprocket was left over from the original big bin that the original owenr didn't want. Re drain plug, it's frozen in there alright. Was it thesir to drin water out of the bowl? |

| For who might be interested, I have 3 AC 66 combines for sale. I bought them from an older gentleman along with a lot of other stuff, most of it salvage. All three have been under the shelter and are dry. The gentleman said two of them were working when parked several years ago. I dread to see these machines go to salvage but I have to move them soon. Scrap man has offered $1200 for the three and he will pick them up. They are located near Fayetteville, North Carolina about 10 miles of I-95. If someone can come get them, I will take $1200, same as the scrap man offered because as I said I do not like to see items like this cut up for scrap. You can call me from 9am to 9pm on 919-222-2842 |
