| Does anyone have a picture(or a link to one) of the train full of gleaners? I would say it was from the late 80s. |

| I would like to see that picture also. Youtube has lots of JD & Case-IH train videos, but no gleaners. I've been trying to check Allis-Chalmers promotional films to see if any of them contained such footage, but no luck. |

| Seems like I've seen a picture of the train, but I think it was on the A-T or Yesterdays Tractor forum?? |

I recall seeing an entire train load of Gleaner Combines as the feature article and on the cover of one of the Allis Chalmers Club publications (Allis Connection or Old Allis News). I am guessing it was published in the 1990's or early 2000's. I am away from my AC magazines collection, or I would look it up and post the pics and article. I will post in a couple of weeks, unless some other forum member can find before. ------------- 1963 D17D Series III. 1965 D15 Series II. 1965 D17 Series IV. 1975 185. 1978 716H. 1979 716H. 1965 780 Harvester/1R&DC. 1957 Model 73 SC 4 Furrow Plow |

Ain't nothing "Case" about those combines. That's like calling a Green stripe Gleaner a "Deutz" ------------- Learning AC...slowly |

Squared off rear tin work and rear wheel weights. F2 maybe??? It takes 4 power units to take it down the rails. Maybe overkill, and maybe not. Thank you for the pictures Acdiesel. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

| That isn't the one I was thinking of but good none the less. I have found one of a train load of F or G's but not the one I am looking for. The one I remember is L's or M's for as far as the picture shows. Not sure how to post a link the F/G train... |

Can you post a link to the F or G trainload? Oh sorry I didn't read the last part.

| If you google "train load of combines" it is a little ways down in the images. If someone is able to post the picture or link. |

| So...those are definitely of the train...just not the picture I remember. It is possible that the picture I remember was one taken by a family member. I guess I need to start digging in old pictures! It talking to dad about it he said that he got an R6 off of that train that he demonstrated to a guy. That combine was transferred to Iowa for corn harvest. Does anyone remember getting a transfer R6 from ND that had “plenty of power to spare”...as he put it? |

| Those are cool pictures. My dad always says he wishes gramp or someone took pictures of the new tractors on train cars when they went to the little near by train station to get the tractors off rail cars to bring back to to dealership. |

| Neat pics - shows how much money is tied up on one train - no wonder Allis called it a capital intensive business |

| Hahaha, it seems like you're attracted to trains and gleaners. But, seriously, why would you ask about it? It's unusual for me. Anyway, everyone has their preferences. For example, I moved from airplane flights to train. Everyone knows that the prices are horrible. But it was until I found and started to use https://www.dbauskunft.com/de/" rel="nofollow - https://www.dbauskunft.com/de/ . I'm glad I came across it, such a good website. This way of traveling has some advantages. It's the views you get. I love when the train goes the forest way. |
