Everything about Gleaner T Combines
Gleaner T
A BIG THANKS to everyone that took video of this neat machine at the 2023 Orange Spectacular! Driving and videoing doesn't go along well when you're putting on a show.

Gleaner Baldwin T3
มุมมอง 77Kปีที่แล้ว
1954 Gleaner Baldwin T3 combining high moisture soybeans. Number 176 off the assembly line out of over 500 ever built. Like to also congratulate Gleaner and the Baldwin Brothers on this 100th anniversary of combine manufacturing! 1923-2023
Looks brand new ! Nice job !
I remember when “ our “ E open station combine was delivered. What a joyful day. I thought we had arrived!
It is just great to see this old machine still running. Hats off to whoever restored and maintains this fine old machine.
Nothing better watching vintage equipment at work love the good old days
Does that combine have a variable speed drive on it? How many speeds in the transmission and where is the shift lever? Is the lever beside the header control for variable speed? Super nice machine all over.
Gorgeous machine. Thank you for sharing!
Looks like it just came off the assembly line
Good stuff
That's the way to go
Very cool
Nice
NOthing meaner or cleaner than a Gleaner!!!!! Great video!!!!!!!
1 sweetheart of a combine!!!
That is one heck of a set up you got there! I wish i could find one of those Gleaners around here. Great video, thanks!
What a beauty machine! I can even hear when the grain hits the cylinder, so nice!
I could have painted it several different colors. Black, Ford Red, or Allis Orange. It came out of the factory in Ford Red but it was repainted Allis Orange at the Dealership in 55 after Allis bought Gleaner. This was the first year it had ever been in a field since 1962 after it combined some flax. I hadn't gotten around to having the bigger soybean sprockets remanufactured yet so this video was of it combining 60bu soybeans with small grain sprockets last year. Soybeans were super clean but little over half were cracked. You never get anything running at 100% the first year I have learned with combines. Later in this video I always cringe cause I can hear it eating a bolt I left ontop of the header. This year I took out the return elevator chain an covered the opening in the sieve so everything went to the grain tank. The sample was still very cleaner an put are new Deere Axial combine to shame so I was very happy. One of the best parts about the T3 was its narrow enough to drive right onto a car trailer, an that's how I hauled it home across three states. I'll put my T3 up against any of its competitors any day an I'm a Deere guy.
@@MrTGleaner Haha, wow, that's saying a lot! I noticed you could see down both sides of the machine while driving it. I wish there were more of those around, they would be great for small farms like mine. And with the price of land anymore, they would just get more popular as the years go by.
There's a reason new combines have cabs: dust is bad.
Long as you have a nice Minnesota fall breeze from the other direction you wont even notice the dust with this little machine.
It's amazing how little the Gleaner technology changed over the years. My father just got his first M2 Corn/Soybean special a few years ago and the overall design has changed very little from what is shown in this video.
I'm surprised he didn't pull the flare box along side and dump on the fly.
Next year I'll get a auger feed wagon to use as a grain cart 👌
I grew up threshing wheat, soybeans, oats and barley with a Model T Gleaner. Couldn't beat it for clean grain. And the ease of resetting it when slug of grain or stone popped open the cylinder hatch. Really enjoyed operating it.
I was doing high moisture soybeans with some green steams out there. I plugged it only once surprisingly an it was only three handfuls under the feeder cylinder an away I went again! Its just a dream to run! I got a Massey 60sp combine out also an that thing plugged first ten feet in the green stuff! If you remember anything ells about your T please share!!!!!!
How did you get the galvanized to clean up so good? Is it painted?
I had some bad rust under the radiator so I applied some industrial cold-zinc spay made in Minneapolis MN. Its specially made to look new an stick to galvanizing as long as you do a good job at cleaning the oil an grease off before applying. I liked it so much I covered all of the galvanizing with it. Very happy with how it turned out.
That sum of a beetch would suck on a 95 degree day and a 25 degree day too....
Sheet metal looks brand new !
How did you get that sheet metal to look like that ! Nice !
Good looking old combine
Look how little it is!!!
Looks like good wheat
70 years ago, when I was a kid, that was "BIG" equipment. We used an AC60 two row Allis Chalmers combines, pulled behind a tractor to harvest milo maize. Couldn't afford a "BIG" machine,
Great video thanks for sharing it, that’s really neat to see the machine running so well. Okay here’s my Gleaner story we had the model G with a 6 row head and bean header, the combine obtained a new name while we owned it! We called in the 666 G why? Because we could usually get 6 seconds or 6 rows or 6 hours 😉😂 the snapping roll chain or the table chain and the slip clutches. We have the body of a similar model all shot up from target practice, sadly from kids will be kids. Stay well friend.
Thank You
Sweet
Great video of all shots of this great machine, thank you for the great share, allis chalmers has never quit in my heart, there still going strong in my memories and heart
I spent many days on an old Gleaner A that looked a lot like yours, Now I see a lot of the changes they made between the two but they kept the barrel for the gas tank. My last Gleaner was a C11 and it was a beast of a machine ! Your keeping the history alive ! Bandit
Very ergonomic. The seat backrest is the grain tank. HAHA!
I have seen these machines laying abandoned in old farnyards all of my life and I have always wondered what they looked like working. I can not tell you what an incredible thrill it is to see them in operation. The biggest thrill of all is your Gleaner T3. I can't imagine what it must have taken to get these old machines working again. PLEASE! Restore more of the old farm machines and document the process on TH-cam! I guarantee you will have my rapt attention to every video!
We used this model on the farm I grew up on although ours was beat up.
Truly a simpler and probably better time.
My dad had one like this when I was a kid, gleaners was all he ran. I remember riding on it with him and how the dust and everything blew around.
Our neighbor had one of them when i was young, got to ride on it, what memory. Kids don't know what their missing out on nowadays. Thanks for the video!
No wonder that we brought in Health & Safety requirements.
Safety back in the day was a little sign next to the driver seat that said “Do not dismount will running!” This combine never had that put on but people already kinda knew not to get off when chains are flying at 1000 rpm lol
Every farmer needs to see videos like this to see where farming has progressed from and to appreciate the people who were there before us. I had a friend that had a F2 Gleaner, it was a nice combine.
where's the autosteer button?
Not sure the old 6v would run something like that 😂
First gleaned I ran in a custom operation was C2 was open station had a great big 16 ft head on it. We loaded them onto straight trucks with the head over the cab and down the road we went tires fit in between the grain sides after hanging the sides on side rail of the truck.
Your generation sure knew how to make thing work with what you had! How did you get the combines on an off the trucks?
That's one well presented machine , sounds great and needs to have some work put through it . Great video 👍🇬🇧
Gracious that is one clean machine.
Very well done with the Gleaner. It wasn’t till I started reading The Word in Ruth where I seen “glean” in print. Dad and us boys farmed 230 acres w a hodge-podge of different brands of tillage and tractors, but The Old Man had a soft spot for A/C combines cause the neighbor up the road had A/C 60 & 66 pull-type. They did a great job and were practically maintenance free as long as you kept em under cover in winter to keep the thrasher & beater bars from rusting. When they needed replacing, head to the Farm n Fleet where they had em on the shelf next to new apron canvas’s etc. Funny at 19 I couldn’t wait to go get a real job ( driving Semi) …… now a days at 72, I’d give a weeks retirement to see if I could still run that Case DC and 60 combine for a while. Thanks for taking me back to a simpler time ❤️
Mr Norm , I understand where you're coming from , I'm crocked up and can only do bits and bobs but I'd give my left nut to pilot one of those old combines and tractors for a while . Great memories 👍🎃
So no “cab beans”just “shoulder beans”?
Once they start going down the back of your shirt you can push them to the back of the tank with a flick of the arm. Give ya another 100ft 😂
Very interesting thank you
It is cool to watch the old combine to run
Granddad had a Super 100 AC. He and my Great Granddad Bought it used. They also had 2 all crop 60s. The 100 got cut by my uncle for scrap.... Granddad never liked it because the way the separator dumped the chaff and straw right by the operator. Granddad took the operator's platform some tin of the AC and a MM combine and made deer blind. Small but effective. Thanks for the video!
Fantastic video 👍
