Today, I bought what I beleive to be an early model Roto-Baler from an abandoned nearby farm. While dealing over the phone with the guy, he said to look around the rest of the farm because there would be several AC pieces and parts lying around that I could also take. I came across an All Crop combine. I believe it was possibly a 60 or perhaps even earlier. It had been taken apart and was in pieces. But all the parts appeared to be lying in the area, except for the axle, which I later found underneath a hay wagon a little ways away. This combine did not have a reel or sickle on it. Instead it had some sort of pick-up head for swaths on it, something I have not seen on an AC combine. My questions are: -Did AC have an option for a pick-up head on the All Crop Combines, or was this some sort of modification? -The combine had a straw spreader on it, was this an option or a modification? -Where would I look for a stamp or serial number on this machine to figure out exacty what it is? -Should I bring this thing home, or let it stay there? Like I said, for the most part, most of it looks to be there, but there would be alot of assembly required. They removed the drawbar and the bin to get the axle off as far as I can tell. The PTO shaft is M.I.A. And the belts and chains are gone from the pick-up and feeder. I can likely get it for next to nothing. Just debating if it is worth my time or not. Restoring would be a major endeavor, but it could be a donor for lots of parts for a different combine project. I'll try to post some pics of the Roto-Baler if I get time. That thing is totally complete, as far as I can tell, just needs some TLC.

Yes the pick up head was an A/C option. Straw spreader was an option, ours sat up in loft and never got used as we baled our straw. Yes you should bring it home and restore it. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

I hate to say it, and Tom Yaz might agree, putting these things back together if it is that far apart is a pain. What I would do is buy the thing for parts, and find one that pretty much runs. Depending on the model, you can buy a pretty decent one for less than $400 bucks. Now if its a 40 or something different that might change things. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

Yes I do agree. You have found your "parts machine:; now go find an intact unit. Might be easy to do or hard, depends on your area of country. http://www.allcropharvester.com" rel="nofollow - www.allcropharvester.com ------------- If its not an All-Crop, it all crap! |
