During our Halloween Soup supper last night we were looking through some old family pictures when I thought I recognized an All Crop. Sure enough after I scanned the picture I can see the AC logo under my Great Uncle Sam's hand. His cousin Bruce is driving the Minnie Mo. Anybody Know the model of the tractor? I have no Idea when it was taken.

I also found an Easter picture from 1957, I'm the second youngest in the picture.

I was just thinking that I might have what is left of that combine. About 30 years ago I hauled one out of the timber over on that farm. The fellow setting on the tractor fender, Bob Slaymaker, gave it to me. I think the one I got from Bob was a 60, this looks like a 66 with the unloading auger on the side instead of in front.

Thanks Richard, that looks right. After looking in Norms book, this must be a 60 combine because it has the 4 bat reel. That auger may be coming from the front of the hopper. Also I found out today the kid setting on the tractor fender was born in 1927. I would guess he is no older than mid teens in the picture and the big bin 66 didn't come out till 54.
