Great memories. My Dad had a 21 canvas table combine and a 1950 Fargo 1 ton. I drove the combine picking up swaths at night when I was 11 yrs. old and I used to take the grain on the go with the Fargo earlier than that. I was his hired man and loved it. I remember the strt up in the shed in the fall. I loved to hear that Chysler 6 cylinder flat head engine bark with the straight pipe. Gordon from Saskatoon.
you know, my husband said he loved to hear that flathead 6 bark when he got into some heavy grain and the governor opened up. He was 12 and learned to drive combine on his family's 21. Best thing was the gout of blue flame from the stack when you were combining in the dark
I loved the video and brought back memories of the fantastic Massey - Harris self-propelled combines. My uncle bought one and it was elite and the star of 1950s harvest time. Are there any other MH combines operating from that era??? Dean from Minnesota
Love the old Combine and truck set up. Now whomever did the post production NEEDS to reduce the soundtrack. It over shadows the audio of the people and the unique equipment sound in the background.
About 25 years ago I ran into a combine crew in Cherokee, OK. They were just starting, they had just two weeks done and they were headed north, cutting wheat the whole way. They were like an army. No lazy people in that bunch. They have it good though. They have air-conditioned cabs. Now, they have GPS. I don't think they did 25 years ago.
thank you sir bring back good old memories,we had a 49 dodge truck and I ran the21a the 26 , 90 super 92 510 and 760 massey all great machines in their time remember working custom harvesting crew from wellington texas to flasher,nd; we transported them with the header on and it was over the cab, Aurther Beleu was my boss
Wow does that bring back memories of my youth. We had two square tank Masseys on the family farm. I remember helping my grandfather service the flathead Chrysler six. I learned to drive combine on those old Masseys.
The first combine I ran was a Massey 21 with electric lift. I was about 9 years old. That was in 1970. We also had a 27. Then we moved into the space age and got a 92. We had a 1956 Dodge Loadmaster with the 392 Hemi' 5 speed transmission with an Eaton 2-speed rear end.
The farmer that lived next door to us had the first selfpropelled combine i ever seen i was just a little boy. He took all of us for a ride on it. Had never seen anything that the back wheels done the turning. ran along beside it when i wasn't riding to watch it turn around. Was a lot of fun for a little boy. The head was about 10 or 12 feet really small up beside todays combines
Think dads was a1949 it was hard to steer...used it till 1965...changed rod bearings right out in the field on the hottest day ,I was 10 and the wrench handler....had her running in little time..had to blow chaff off motor every night and woke up at 2 am to car horn blowing.. looked out upstairs window and the combine was on fire, we were out of that house faster than lighting and spent next day out of school and help dad rebuild it ...your right it was a dirty ride
Nice pair of machines! I'm restoring a 1950 Massey Harris super 26 combine, not an easy task. I rescued it just before a scrap metal guy was due to haul it away. The 100hp Chrysler flathead engine runs, and the tires and transmission are OK, but the thresher needs a lot of work. Almost all its bearings are shot.
nice , my dad and his 2 brothers bought one along with a stub nosed ford truck back in 1949….ran it till 1965 . he scraped combine... but we used that ford till 1975 …still ran good but auctioned it off…he's 95 but his eye sight limited ,,wished the sound of the motor was their it would have brought back old memories…thanks …straight pipe gave it a nice purr
Deep respect for the quality restoration of the Dodge and the Massey Harris . I had no knowledge of the wartime harvest marathon . Take my hat of to the memory of effort and labour . Great video👍🇬🇧
My great uncle did that harvest from Texas for years. He would buy trucks and machines, harvest the circuit, then sell the equipment and do it all over the next season.
I my self own one of them they are quite a tractor to use but it seems you can't kill them no matter how long they sit out in the rain and snow , I hope you have good luck with it !
I ran one of the super 98 with out a cab and let me tell you what when she sun goes down and you can't cut no morea your eyes ears lungs mouth and hair are so full of dust and chafing you aew just miserable. It was a nice improvement when a cab was scabed on then you could close up windows on the side wind was blowing the dirt in, best thing was the roof watercolor added then you stopped every unload and the ladies were so kind as to have water bucket with a little bit of clorox in it to keep it from smelling musty. Good times hard work.
that was my first self propelled combine i ever run back in the 50s graduated to the 90special and the super 92s 510 and the 760. massey was the leader in the custom combing business if you didnt have a massey you didnt have a job we hauled them on back of truck with the head over the cab till the 510s came out and the 750 and 760s put them on trailer i also cut from welington texas to flasher north dakota on harvest run with Arther Belew from wellington who had the massey dealership there
I worked for a,custom harvester that had Gleaner-Baldwin C-II and then G model combines. We pulled them on a trailer with a grain truck and the platform in the bed or on a trailer pulled by the pickup.
My Dad had a M H 80 SP with a 10 foot head and drove the dump truck , a 1952 INT I had to have blocks wired to the pedal's so I could reach them. Tough times and a lot of hard work
Those old Massey one of the early great machines and one main lesson was learned from this machine and that was get the engine UP higher and out of all the dust and chaff, the reason there are not a lot of these left is because fire destroyed so many of them!
God bless America! Long live the Republic.
Good video! Thank you to the folks for preserving farming history of years gone by.
That’s really cool. I’d drive that over a modern plastic-paneled machine any day.

love the videos, and I'm not trying complain but I couldn't hear anything other than that harmonica
No computers to fail,no plastic to break,real steel and cast iron,born by fire and built to last long after hell freezes over.

The background music is so loud it's distracting and often overcomes the narration.
Wow does that bring back memories of my youth. We had two square tank Masseys on the family farm. I remember helping my grandfather service the flathead Chrysler six. I learned to drive combine on those old Masseys.
stop with the music in these videos it is louder than their voices and I have headphones on. and still can't hear them.

Thank you CTF. Very nice looking set up truck and combine. I am glad they show this to as many people as they can.
I can remember driving a truck like that as well as a 1947 Ford in the potato harvest in Idaho. Great trucks.
Awesome Combine, 5km from my home sit one alongside the road for years, ideal restoration machine
My Dad bought a used 21A that was all rusted, I had the job of cleaning and painting it. What a great combine. This was in the mid 50's.
good video, but- I would have liked a peek under the hood of the truck, and NO DAMN MUSIC!
they had a flat head six under the hood
the combines also had the chrsyler industrial flat head six up to the 510s and then the 750s and 760s all had perkins diesels

I love antique farm equipment I'm only 13 but still I have my own collection of my own I'm looking at a Massey Harris super 27
I my self own one of them they are quite a tractor to use but it seems you can't kill them no matter how long they sit out in the rain and snow , I hope you have good luck with it !
That must have been one hell of a machine in its day

super 92
They could not put the engine in a worst place behind the front axle. Fires was normal .
bro I literally found this because of the kid who sat next to me on my bus was watching it 💀
Like old machines better easy to fix no coumptures
Always check for hornets and bird nests when getting one ready for the season, LOL
Grew up on a 21a. My aunt still has hers.
I'm 21 and my dream is to farm my own land, after I do a military carrier I want to do
music too loud in this one. couldn't hear the interviews :(
the electric lift for the header was a 6 volt starter. even the 760s had electric operated reels for speed
that was my first self propelled combine i ever run back in the 50s graduated to the 90special and the super 92s 510 and the 760. massey was the leader in the custom combing business if you didnt have a massey you didnt have a job we hauled them on back of truck with the head over the cab till the 510s came out and the 750 and 760s put them on trailer i also cut from welington texas to flasher north dakota on harvest run with Arther Belew from wellington who had the massey dealership there
I worked for a,custom harvester that had Gleaner-Baldwin C-II and then G model combines. We pulled them on a trailer with a grain truck and the platform in the bed or on a trailer pulled by the pickup.
You might want to fix the title that is not a 41 Dodge. Great video though. :)
ACguy 1948, The title says it's a 1949 dodge.
Horse-A-Holics Anonymous They fixed it originally they had it as a 41. :)
What is the harvester worth in todays time restored like this one
Please turn the music volume down!
I have a 1948 dodge B1, cant wait to restore her, she gonna get a flatbed with some short staggered sides
Very good machine.how i got in India
6in
My Dad had a M H 80 SP with a 10 foot head and drove the dump truck , a 1952 INT I had to have blocks wired to the pedal's so I could reach them. Tough times and a lot of hard work
Работает по сей день. Учитесь, современные комбайны :).
best video ever
We had a Massey Harris 80 special and a 1950 red dodge 1.5 ton truck.
take me back to when i work at LF&HF HARRISONS Brandon parva
Sorry, the truck is '48 to '54, not '41.
I think you got the year models of the truck and combine mixed up.
Video says truck is 1949
says right on the ad 49 read
I wish I could hear them talk!
👍Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
There were some Minneapolis Moline self propelld combines that had a round grain tank .
Got to love that pilot house cab. I got a half ton pickup like that
Where was this combine and truck filmed at I'm curious to know
Struggling to hear narrative over annoying music
The price of wheat back then is about the same as it is today.
Calvin Ellis How does the yield compare? I’m sure it’s considerably better. Also the plant itself is shorter and the head is larnger.
Could have skipped the music and let them talk.
That map it showed on the Massey Harris was the thing back in the 50’s called the golden grain or something like that
I worked on this model in 1960 we were Combining Clover seeds for 1961 late winter seeding in a wheat field.
We had 3 27 messy hairy combine
I bet hauling that combine like that is tough.
Combine engine, the six cilinder side valve Dodge?
I like your Massey. I would to now about the
combine.
It’s very hard work, I know I grow up on one.
Tnboy, golden harvest as I remember it called
Awesome!!
good work umpa
And it WAS HUGE!
case model p had a round tank
BEAUTIFUL MACHINES
Nice combine!
Amen lol
