Good luck!

I'm jealous!!

Does it run?

You wanna sell that chopper on the parts combine with the cab? 

You bet! It shorted out the keyboard so I had to run to town and get a new one! LOL! Not really, but, you get what I mean! 

Thanks! Please keep me in mind if you do decide to sell one!! 

Also, do you know anything about the cab on the one combine? Like who manufactured it?

So how many 100s do you have, total?

I'm looking at a rough Super 100 in Nebraska, but it has a regular 100 header, not a Super 100 header. 

Got a pic or two of it? 

I'm not sure which would be worse though. Standing out in the dust, Standing out in the dust, or standing in a little less dust inside a greenhouse

Yeah! I'd never stay in a cab without air flow! That doesn't seem to have any sort of fan or anything! I was running an M2 this June, and the A/C went out and it got hot quick! Even with the door and window open, it was still super hot!

Unless it is raining!! 

Then you end up doing what I tried to do at Hutch...

I still think what you're doing is great. I might advise carefully checking all the bearings (especially the ones that will be hard to access when everything is back together!!) That will make your life much easier once you get out in the field. You won't have to worry about a bearing going out that is a bear to access.

Of course, you're restoring it, so I know you know that! 

Take care of my favorite!! Looks like you're doing great!! I'm hope someday I can find a nice Super 100 and do the same.

No just get him a bib.

That's awesome!! The chute on the spreader isn't the original style, but it's still neat!

If you don't mind, how did you find all these combines??? You seem to just have the best of luck. I'm just looking for 1 Super 100, and I'm not having too much good luck. I found one in Nebraska, but the engine has the plugs out of it (Yikes!) and the header is from a regular 100 and has a JD reel, nonetheless. Sigh....

    Here is a video introduction to the project. Purchased the combine in Iowa and brought it home and put it in storage until now. We did get more of the combine taken apart this morning.    Roger       

Roger, here are some photos from my SP-100 Special Attachments parts catalog that may help you a little bit. This first pic shows the hydro-traction drive, which I'm thinking is really just a hydraulic assist for the variable v-belt drive. If any of your combines has one of these, it is a rare find. I don't know anyone who has ever seen one!

This pic is of the creeper transmission. It is operated by a lever on the operator's platform that you push/pull up or down to engage/disengage. This also is pretty rare. Arland Lepper has a 100 with this transmission, but it's the only one I know of. It reduces the slowest forward travel speed from 1 1/3 mph to 1/2 mph.

Here is a page for the rear discharge chopper/spreader. It has several pages that go with it, so if you'd like more pics of the part numbers and what they correspond to on the drawings, let me know.

Here is another rear discharge spreader pic, it shows the drive system that leads to the gear box drive shaft

And lastly, here is the gear box and the hub/knife assembly. 

Like I said, there are several more pages of part numbers that go with these photos, so if you need them, 

let me know!

Also, if you replace the chains (or any chains for that matter) I recommend replacing the sprockets the chains run on too, unless they are in very good condition. Otherwise the worn sprockets will turn the new chain into a worn out chain faster than greased lightning!  

As far as belts go, I buy from V-Belt Guys. They are out of South Dakota, and offer great belts at lower prices than I've seen anywhere else. I typed in the part number of a belt off my 60A into their website, and they pulled it up, and the models it fit. 

Here is their website:

Mikez, the book is form D-37, it is not the manual I got from you. Yours was TM-134. I got this one, as well as a 100 master parts catalog from a guy at the annual steam and gas engine show in Pawnee, OK. 

Any new progress on the restoration?

I've been wondering for a while, but I couldn't find this thread again to ask.

Hey Everyone. Roger wanted me to throw a picture on of where we are at with the combine. Last fall we got a lot of the smaller pieces primed and painted. Now we are finally getting back after the project and are planning on getting the frame painted in the next couple weeks.  I know he has a bunch of different pictures from last fall that i will try to get from him and get put on here. Unfortunately it has been a busy year and the combine project has been slow. Thanks for your patience! 

I doubt a 100 could handle more than a 2 or 3 row (might be pushing it) corn head, and even then it wouldn't cover the width of the machine.

people were going from ear corn to shelled, even after picking you still run it through a sheller (MM) when one could be hired.

Dad bought a used Gleaner that had been used well for wheat harvests, and as a bonus it had a used corn head (Case?)adapted to it, I'm thinking this was late '50s.  A big discussion with neighbors was will a combine hold up to ear corn going through it.

I think the 60, 66, 72 were getting a corn head at that time also. A lot of different Gleaners were coming out also, Dad bought a new Gleaner E with corn head in 64. Things were happening fast, I may have some time line errors, but this is the way I remember it, so I'm sticking to it!

Yeah! Would be neat to find it...or at least, what's left of it.

 

I wonder if it wasn't out there for testing in wheat?  It was obviously built in LaPorte, its interesting that they had it in KC.

The green circle in the photo below shows the location. 

As far as worth...do you have any photos? The cheapest 100 I've seen was $10, and the most expensive was a restored machine (Super 100) for $8,000. Most I've seen are in the $1,000-$3,000 range, although I have seen a couple bring $4,000.
