One More All-Crop 60

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I spent way too much on this but apparently scrap prices are up lately. It's a 1948 and is a few thousand units newer than the first All-Crop I dragged home.
This one seems to have decent sheet metal - much better than my other one. The bin is good and I can probably thank the homemade cover that some previous owner made to fit on top. TBD on the cylinder area. The reel is mostly AWOL just like my other machine.

The most interesting thing about this one is that it has a 7/16" round hole finishing screen in it. I can only find this being mentioned for popcorn and great northern beans in my AC literature. I didn't have calipers with me at the auction and I was hoping it was the 3/8" soybean screen, but it may do okay for those as well?

There were a ton of spare belts and canvases stored on top of the straw walkers, plus a wheat/milo screen so I have an extra of those now. I don't know if the canvases are any good at this point. The straw walkers themselves have a couple of holes in them but I should have enough slats to make one good one out of my two.

Don't get me wrong... I'm still keeping my fingers crossed I find one of these in good shape hiding in a barn locally, but I may be able to get this new machine working with parts from the other one.

	Very nice. That ought to keep you busy awhile! Worst thing about them, (and roto-bailers) is the amount of shed space they take up. Maybe someday I'll have room?

	7/16" screen should do just dandy for beans: A neighbour at our Northern farm had a few acres of beans to take off and needed a combine for it. We don't grow any beans, and farms up there are few and far between. I had some perforated sheet with 1/2" holes that I formed into a screen for my All-Crop 90 and lent it to him. Worked just dandy. Perhaps the sample was a tiny bit dirtier that what you'd typically see, but nothing really noticeable. With the scour-clean on top I suspect it was still a superbly clean sample.

	I may have some reel parts for you, if you’re interested. Sent you a PM.

	I hope to build a decent open sided shed in the next couple of years, and an All-Crop will be one of the things that gets shed space. A Roto-Baler would be slick too. Great to know about soybeans. Of course now the gears in my head are wondering if popcorn would ever make sense here. All-Crops... almost too many choices of what you want to harvest!

	I have run corn though my all crop. Kind of rough on the machine and you need to change the cylinder bars around. We grew popcorn one year for a fundraising for 4 h club. Used the ac corn picker since it had stripper plates for the small ears then ran the ears through a hand crank corn sheller. Did use the combine one year when they sold bird seed. We grew some milo and another parents did the cracked corn and the sunflower
