You were crowding it a bit, and remember when that was made? Wheat, at a maximum of 100 bushels to an acre, was a bumper crop. Most fields were less. I used the 12 A but with hydraulic cly to raise and lower it. I used the AC all-crop, but they would plug in the straw rack. It came out with a Rub bar, which wore out fast. The John Deere had a rasp bar, but one could order a rub bar for clover, etc. To do a good job the field had to be dry & no high humidity. The 12-A was the best Combine. You couldn't crowd it much with the little LUC engine. I knew one person put in an extra straw kicker in an AC combine & it worked great but lost some grain out with the straw. Fun to watch these young guys trying to run these old rigs like the $250.000 Combine of today. Just slow down a little guys. They did a good job cleaning grain & we never needed 1000 acres to pay for our combine. great video Thanks
I have never seen one of these working. Allis Chalmers combines were more common by far. I spent a lot of time in, around and on them working on them during harvest time before dad got a self propelled Gleaners. Don't miss the chaff falling on my sweaty skin and in my eyes at all. Allis Chalmers also had a good round bailer to. Don't see them anymore! Good to see them working and not me having to work on them!

Great video, I have one that I pull with a unstyled ar. Ran in 93 bpa wheat and done a great job cleaning.
If it got just a very little bit humid, which it always did, that 12a would always checkup. Way before sundown X
beautiful job there!
When this combine was new in 1947 what was the average bpa then and how well would this handle a really high bpa of wheat now ?
It ran that lot of wheat good. It probably would not do that much Bach then when roundup ready crops never existed
why is it yo run that muffler on your B?
That must be a CNN cameraman.
alte technik!!
