Glad some people are collecting all the machinery besides tractors too! Combines, haybinders etc. Are also important in ag history.
I've got a 1962 super 92. Basically just a bigger version of this. Nice find.
We ran a super 92 and a 80 special in the eighties. I was a kid then. Harvested around 500 acres a year with them. Parts were readily available, lots of those combines in the area to get parts from. The eighties were tough years. But we got thru.
My grandfather owned one, I hated harvesting Oats, so itchy. Good times spent with grandpa.
We have a Massey Harris Ferguson model36 side delivery rake been a damn good Rake, survived my teenage years,
The best tractors we have a 1957 Massey Harris Ferguson model 40. Easy to work on, always starts right up.
Awesome machine, great family. It really is nice when all the family members enjoy the same hobbies like tractors and machinery.
Love this video! My dad owned a #90 combine in the 60's that he used to harvest oats and I rode along as a kid. It's long gone but I still have the 44 tractor that dad and gramps got new in 1949, as well as a 30 tractor which was the first tractor I learned to drive in the 60's. The 30 is a very easy and fun tractor to drive. Used it to haul countless loads of ear corn to the corn crib with Heider wagons.
I bought a # 70 Massey for $500 in 1974 when I was 16 years old. Think about it often! Thought I was was big stuff back then.
Dad's first self propelled combine was a Massey Harris 82. The first season or two he had the open station. I remember him wearing a goggle eye respirator when combining beans. Then he had an after market cab installed with air conditioning.
This machine looks far better than the new combines
Great story, love the looks of the 1956 Massey Harris, thanks!
My Grandpa’s progression of combines over the years was an 80, 86, 90, then the 92. I remember running the 90 and 92 lot. We farmed rice.
Dad had a MH60 bought mid to late 50's. Grew up with MH44, then MHF50, then MF65. Sad day to see Massey plant in Brantford Ontario shut down and auctioned off. Thank you Conrad Black.
Wow, lots of memories. Mu uncle had one of those back in the '80s. He broke his arm just before wheat harvest, so I started running it at 14 years of age, crawling around the hills of central Pa. The brakes weren't the best. If I tried going up too steep of hills, it would spin out and the brakes wouldn't hold it. So I'd leave it dig itself into a pair of holes, then I could get it into reverse and back down- a thrill for a 14 year old. Changing spark plugs was a real chore, with the engine being under the machine. If I remember correctly it was either #3 or 4 that didn't allow a socket and ratchet on, there wasn't enough room above. Massey made a special wrench just for the spark plugs- which we didn't have. Of course it was an open platform, no cab, so I ate a lot of dust, especially cutting oats. Thanks for the video, good job.
Its amazing that it is in original condition.
I had one in the 70s, loved it
My dad had a Massy Harris Super 26 self propelled combined he owned it for over 20 years.
Dad had a Super 26 I spent many a hour running it, I had to put both feet on the clutch petal and both hands on the variable speed lever to shift it, no cab very dusty MILO MILO !! electric header lift, Learned to grease the steering linkage and clutch linkage, that helped a lot for a 10 year old boy to maneuver it. The engine would start to miss, shut it off, crawl under take the distributor cap off blow out the dust and go back to work. AH THOSE WERE THE DAZE!!
My uncle had a Massey Harris combine. I never saw him use it but he sold it a few years ago.
I grew up with this combine. 61 grease fittings
In Belgium anno 1954 was de prijs voor een Massey-Harris model 26 met Bag systeem 10.000 dollar. Was toen zeer veel geld, maar kon in loondienst terug verdiend worden op 2 jaar tijd..
I remember my Dad had A self propelled corn picker of about that vintage. He only had it about one year. You rally had to watch it close for fire. I am fairly sure it was A Massey Harris.
I think this the one Matchbox made King Size versions of this one
My grandpa had a MH30 and a MH pull combine- I remember sewing wheat sacks with my cousin on the back and sliding down the sack chute - grandpa chewed us out a lot - hahaha
Boy do i remember these fireballs . the engine is underneath just behind the front axle .There is a lot of burned up machines on the edges of fields yet today
Looks Good!!
nice ride
Very cool piece of antique machinery!
Love your profile picture 😉
Yeah, that's cool.
Its a shame AGCO discontinued the Massey Combines. So much history behind them unlike the company they replaced them with Fendt who never even built combines
Massey pretty much owned the combine market in the 1950s and 60s, but Massey combines developed a BAD reputation after some of the combines they built in the late 70s when Conrad Black was running the company into the ground. My uncle who had been a die hard Massey man since the 1950s bought a new 540 or 550 combine (can't remember which) circa 1980 and that thing broke down so much it about put him out of the farming business. It was such a lemon I think he finally ended up suing the dealer he bought it from and maybe even Massey Ferguson. He swore that after that piece of junk left that there would never be another Massey Ferguson on the place and he started buying John Deeres.
Got two 80's sitting in my yard. One runs but needs a grain pan the other is parts
My Pop had one. Great machine.
Built in Newcastle Ontario
The actual merger of Massey Harris and Ferguson, occurred in August of 1953. However, it wasn’t until the later 50’s that the name Massey Ferguson was displayed by Massey.

See the lineage to the MF 510 combines that I ran years ago.
I was just thinking this morning about how I don't want to restore another tractor for a while, but like an old combine or swather. Probably will end up being my New Holland 905.
You might ave to buy an old wheat truck?!
Great combine! Amazing machinery but it looks so dangerous. So many exposed moving parts.
And yet we are here. We knew better than to stick hands or fingers in moving parts. Common sense I guess
John Deere 45 Combine is my choice for most iconic.
The hobbit sized combine... On to the shire!
"Most iconic American combine"
Uh... weren't these built in Canada? Lol😂😂
