I, too thought there was one at Hutch last year.  Listened to a couple of older gentlemen talk about it for a while.  I thanked the owner for bringing it, and now can't find the picture I took of it.  The danger of getting old, I guess!   LOL!

There's a nice restored one at the Bonanzaville USA museum in Fargo ND.  As a kid I remember seeing it and it was a mess.  I was up there last year and it looks like new now.
I think I'll order one of those 3d printed kits, they look kind of neat

Someone needs to start an owners registry for all Gleaner- Fordsons known to exist....Just the ones mentioned on here would make the start of a nice list and there are more out there..

I keep track of all model T Gleaner SP combines that I run across...I have two myself and have 37 on the list...I also keep track of early model A Gleaner SP combines since I own a 1952 model with the Ford engine..

In 1976 I started keeping track of all UDLX MM tractors in existence..I worked on this list until 1992 and didn't do much for the next 25 years..In the 1976-1992 time period I owned two UDLX's myself...Dorene Wonder from Iowa worked with me on this list from 1982 and continued by herself in to the early 2000's but she passed away in 2016..

 Just recently I started on the UDLX list again after Mecums said in 2016 that only 20-30 UDLX MM's are known to exist...Of the 150 tractors built I have serial numbers for 84 of them and know that theres 6-8 more out there because of pictures and info from reliable collectors...I currently have threads about this on Yesterdays Tractors and Smokstak with lots of 1980's pictures.

 Very interesting, figures Mecums would under report the number. That is one cool tractor.

Last summer when I was in Ridgeland WA. We went to Schurman's Iron Ranch. There was a Fordson tractor w/ the combine mounted on it. I had never seen one before that. I wish I had taken a picture of it.  Tim

Agreed on starting an ownership list of all the Fordson- Gleaners. Would be neat for the 100th Anniversary of Gleaner in 2023 to have a gathering or group of the Fordson Gleaners in Kansas.

I don't remember seeing one at Hutch in 2016, but with the rain and all I may have missed it.

Heres a video of a Fordson-Gleaner in the UK..He has lots of trouble turning..You will have to copy and paste to see it..I made a quick list and came up with 18 known Fordson-Gleaners and theres more out there.

Years ago at probably a GOTO I saw one. What I remember most was it had a tall periscope like grill screen, and to start the Fordson tractor you cranked it with a crank extended from the side belt pulley.

To unload the grain bin on the Fordson -Gleaner, I assume the farmer just backed up the combine and tractor to a wagon and dumped into it? Or did some pull a wagon behind the tractor and combine while harvesting, similar to a corn picker?

Yes, how did the unloader work? There's no auger or conveyor it seems. Is it blown out the spout by a fan?
