Even a JD hater like me can appriciate something like this. This 105 was a man-toy for a local fellow who passed away recently. They brought it to our local show a few times but not a trailer queeen. He cut with it each year. Was modified in the powerpant to a 4430 type engine plus many other mods. Thougt I would share it here.

I had a 55EB for 11 years and never spent more than $200 a year on it. It was a good one. Bought it used, too. ------------- sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?" |

Butch; I dont know much about JD combines or any combines for that matter. Is there any significance to this one, ie rare, or big for its year. It does seem to be in nice shape, what years were they made. ------------- 35WC on steel, B with belly mower, D17 puller, D15 Series II puller, D15 Series II with loader, 608 Lawn Tractor |

That looks neat! My Dad's first combine was JD 40, then he traded it for a 45 square back with no cab. He bought a cab at TSC and got himself some shelter while picking corn. I can remember riding many rounds on the steps of those 2 machines ........ ------------- 1964 D17 series 3 |

Back in the day the 105 was about the biggest machine on the market. Six row corn head and this one has a 20' platform on it but an 18' (6 - 36" rows) would have been more like it when it was new. Most machines around here were 2 or 3 rows with an occasional 4 row.We had a 95 with a 4 row head (Dad did custom combining) but our neighbor was a big time operator, he had a diesel 105 with a hydro! Not sure when the "square back" series started, but the 3300 - 7700 machines were introduced in 1970. Dad traded a "round tail" 45 for the 95 and the 95 for a 6600. What would an equivalent size Gleaner in say 1965 have been or did they have one then? Back in 1977 our FFA chapter rented a round tail 105 to do our plots. I've never seen another one. ------------- AGCO My Allis Gleaner Company |

| The big Gleaner to compare to that 105 would have been the G like Dan said. Prior to that, the big Gleaner was a CII. |

Wow, that is nice. Thank you for sharing. We had a 95 for several years (gear drive-no air), but that 105 is totally decked out. I'm sure it went to a nice home at that price. Seems like they were built a bit heavier back then, but then again they didn't run 10,000 acres/season thru them either.... I think the square backs started in '66, but could be wrong, the early 60's would be round back. ------------- Thanks Most Bad Government has grown out of Too Much Government- Thomas Jefferson |
