| Brings back many memories of the Gleaner E we had at our farm. Our late father after deciding to rent our ground out proclaimed to brother and I " we should sell that combine now or we will be paying a scrap man to come cut it up in a few years"!!! It got sold for $500.00. It was the cleanest E I have ever seen and now its whereabouts are unknown. Great little combine you have to play with. Ryan |

| Congrats on getting a great little combine! A 13' E header is not that common in IL. Usually only see 10' headers. That looks like the one from the Earl Simpson Farm close out auction June 30th, Downs, IL?? |

| About all you seen around was 2 row and 13' grain tables. Most had Love bars on the table. They worked well. |

The wheat, soybean, & corn rotation in this area probably helped decide? Just guessing that Hart-Carter floating cutter bars were a new option in early 1970s. So in the 1960s, the 10' ridged platform seemed the choice if your farm ground wasn't flat. Anybody on forum that worked at a dealership back then, want to weigh in with their knowledge - what year were floating cutter bars introduced? |

AC Fleet, I thought you were downsizing a year or two ago? Just decided to ramp up again? Good luck. Just curious, did the combine have a dealer sticker on it?

Will have to look if there be a dealer sticker or not. I am down a bunch, still have the N-5 and the JD 4400 and JD 95 to get sold. also a 45' field cultivator plus probably more stuff. thanks; ac fleet |
