    Posted: 02 Sep 2023 at 10:29pm
Bought a 66 with a corn head at Farmerzzz's auction a week ago. Decided I would pull it home like I have done every other one of these I acquired over the years. The hubs were absolutely shot on this one and just would not keep grease in them.   Luckily I had just by chance thrown an extra hub in the back of truck before I left as about 45 min from home the grain tank side started smoking.   Changed it on side of road and made it the rest of the way home. The box on this one is absolutely junk, but the corn head is rebuildable so I'll save all the associated parts for it and junk the rest. Now just need to find a good 66 to put this on I suppose.   Or a 72 if it would fit one of them.

Pulling those always makes for a long drive home. Does the corn head make it any narrower or not really?

I guess I have a rare 60 combine,, it has timken bearings in the hubs,, and, no, its not converted car/pickup spindles....has round spoke wheels
when my grandad ordered it, he specified that he wanted Timken bearings in the hubs. yes, I've taken the hub cap off to verify this!.

So is that model set up to shell the corn or just an ear picker?

Seems like a super rare machine.

Interesting to see more pictures if you have time to share.

It shells the corn. Didn't make very many. I'm wanting to say maybe 1500 if I remember correctly.   Definitely not very many left.

Guy in our pulling club 10 years ago had a 72 with 2 row corn head. At that time it was not for sale...period. I have not kept in contact with him since. But for it's time. it was an impressive unit. Hope you get her up and running.

Way back when, I had a 60 and later on a 72 and I just can't imagine the cylinder lasting very long with ears of corn slamming it constantly. I remember the "floor" of the cylinder was fairly thin metal and prone to rusting thru if left outdoors.

Alliss provided reinforcements for that part of the machine to mitigate that.

I never knew tapered Timken bearings were available on a 60. I have several parts manuals and need to look this up. You can learn something every day. Ryan
