Aren't they a beautiful combine. Makes you wonder how a 7700 Deere or 915 IH was ever sold at all. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

Our last combine was a 1984 M3 with gear drive. We loved it, hydro would have made it even better. |

Nice looking M2. My father had a new Hydro M2 on his lot. I really wanted to put it in the field during wheat harvest but it was dealer transfered a few weeks before harvest. Never did get to run one other than araound the lot and loading it on the truck the day it left. ------------- 1929 20-35 sn17662 B1 w/snow blade B10 w/sickle mower B110 w/mower deck B110 w/tiller B112 w/grader blade B210 w/plo |

| Nice combines! Would love to have a nice, low hour M2/3 or L2/3. I have a nice, low hour M, but they say the later series will eat it up! |

| I agree with Lonn. How did john deere and IH ever sell a combine back then??? The Gleaner features were like comparing a cadillac to a pinto!! Ryan |

| I have had gleaners all my life started with an AII when I was 21 years old then an F,F2,K2 then 1977 M2 now 1982 M2.My son and I till 300 acres today and harvest about 500acres with double crops and we do some custom harvesting.The M2 I had was a good one just couldn't pass up this one.I would rather have the M series over the L series because being 8 inches narrower makes them much easier on bearings and shafts. |

Is that the one from the sale in Laurel or Seaford (I forget which) a few weeks ago? A friend was at that sale and he said the combine was one of the cleanest he had ever seen. ------------- A man's got to know his limitations. '51 WD, Roto-Baler,, A-C rake, '44 C, '42 B |

| Karl, yes this was the one,and yes I paid enough for it but cannot buy any other machine in this shape for that money,and I have alot of knowledge with these machines and do all my own work on them,also have a good parts supply if needed.I also bale some wheat straw and it works good for this. |

Yup, they don't beat up the straw like a rotary. I had a C II and an A and they both were a dream to bale behind. I have a friend in Goldsboro who is a Case man (he bleeds Flambeau), but there's an M in his shed. ------------- A man's got to know his limitations. '51 WD, Roto-Baler,, A-C rake, '44 C, '42 B |

| Ryan, A little over 10,000 I cannot find one thing on this combine that doesn't work,new cylinder bars,new unloading tube including auger and the pivit piece,many other new parts including all new ac parts. |

| I would tell the whole world about that!!! Were else could you get a almost new machine for that amount of money?? Plus you can work on it yourself if you have to!! I hope you keep us posted with more photos in the future. How about some cab and monitor photos?? You did great!! Ryan |
