This is Moline Dan’s father, just wanted to say how much I enjoyed watching you getting the old MM combine ready, we had MM model 69 pull type, with a Wisconsin engine, it did a really good job, my father bought it brand new.
Cool! I enjoy watching Dan’s videos as well! We combined with it yesterday and it was so much fun!
that was really fun to watch
If you don't have room in one of the buildings, you'll have to cover it with a tarp this winter.
It's supposed to be whatever color you want it to be.
That’s kind of how I have looked at it as well.
Prairie gold 3 is more orange than 2. That lighter yellow is more like the mid to late 60’s to 70’s color.
I never realized there were so many shades until now
Hi Ross how are you .I been pretty busy as most days and trying to avoid most days like you working to avoid sadness on working on small to large projects that are suppose to be not long jobs that turn in to long jobs 😅😅.And yeah in the video that you said simetimes you feel like Your over whelmed with projects you need a break.I am like that to.Your old Combine is looking great.And yeah it's sometimes hard to get the original paint on some equipment I look and try to do a lot of research to try to match paint to.keep up the good work and I hope you can avoid sadness on your projects 😂😂.I go on the jungle store and the E-payer to when I need things to😂😂.You take care and talk at you when I can avoid work and more work 😂😂
Thank you!!!
@@rosstheoliverman Your Welcome Ross
Well. You could always paint it purple. Wouldn’t that be a sight?!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Saw your video of operation. I can only say that, years ago I fought with a JD pull type. Rather unsuccessful. You have a talent, and probably better materials. Like my Father always said," if at first you don't succeed, quit, and throw a fit! Then give up! How rewarding this must be! Moline was quite good.
Thank you!!
Knot free lumber is called "clear". Mostly used for interior door/window framing. Expensive
Yeah, these were $11 a board which I still think is kind of expensive
Love your videos. Love the Older equipment you farm with. This Combine is Awesome.
Thanks Chad!!!
No comment, but I do have a question. Will there be New "MM" emblems, in Red, for that ole Sweetheart! 👍🇺🇲☺️
I have some new decals but I may have to get different ones because these are kind of old.
Had a Chevy pickup that was Prairie Gold...not quite so yellow, a little more brown
I didn’t realize there were so many different shades until now
"It's a low budget affair" says the guy who bought _brand new boards_ .. A 'real' farmer would scrounge slightly betterer boards than on the machine that accumulated in the back of a shed from old projects and salvaged wood, lol. .. That'll be a nice looking machine when you get all done. Hard to say on that paint color. On camera the yellow tongue looks more right than the orange stuff. Almost looking like Allis Chalmers Persian Orange. Did color maybe settle out in the can? Maybe that paint just fades fast so any used machines look more yellow.
🤣🤣🤣 I guess that’s true. Yeah I think the tongue is closer as well but I am no expert. The other color is supposed to be prairie gold number two
How to paint a board . 😁you know they might have you on PBS . ROSS the happy painter . Great video. thanks.
I could be right up there with Bob Ross 🤣🤣🤣
That's the sign of a true cock-sure professional using only a tape measure and ink pen. I've heard if you lightly burn the boards with a torch/weed burner it would seal them before paint...I know too little too late. I'm sure Moline Dan would be happy with any extra paint you'd send him. 😂
🤣 I’d probably accidentally burn them up.
The wheat should be getting close in your area. In our part of Ohio it's typically around the first to tenth of July...depending on the year and variety. It'll be interesting to see your machine at work. Hope the animal sounds don't drown out the tractor and combine lol!!!
Just combined it yesterday!!! The video should be out in a few days
Wow. I have a prairie gold cab from the 69’s I have often thought of having color matched
It may be partially because of the brand of paint that I bought isn’t a perfect match I don’t know
I enjoyed your restauration and appreciate the interest of saving this jewels of agro-engineering. God bless you abundantly!
Thank you very much!
Ross you do not fit my definition of the word idiot.
Thank you 🤣
Nice. But you need a small paint roller. Would be more better.👍👍
That would definitely make it go quicker
Thanks for your time and effort videoing I always look forward to your videos,
Thank you John!
gee, just put a mark at 80 and a half, on both sides of the board, then, bend over and pick up a short piece from the ground, with a factory cut, and use that as your straight edge, or turn the tape upside down, so it will not flex when laid on the board,
That would’ve worked.
All I know is the more orange color is the color my little pea brain says “that’s a Minneapolis Moline.”
I never realized there were that many different shades until I did this.
I love it Ross and I love that you are restoring it it looks so F ing great
Thank you!
❤❤❤👍👍👍👍WOW some new PAINT!!!!!!
It’s looking good!!
I don't mind watching paint dry as long as I am not required to apply it!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
First
Cool!
@@rosstheolivermanaren't you going to be gentle with him as well?
@@ThatOliverGuyChris I figured life was rough enough on you so I’d help you out. 🤣🤣🤣
If nothing else you'll have a colorful piece of yard art . See
🤣 yeah, hopefully it lasts longer than that but you never know
They also always say, I've cut it three times and it's still too short.
🤣🤣😭
Would you ever sell that combine Ross
Maybe someday but probably not soon.
ROSS WHY DIDNT U USE THE FRIST ONE FOR A PATTERON AND U WOULD HAVE TO KEEP MEASURING DUH
I thought of that but I like the handmade touch 🤣
Can’t wait to see the old girl putting grain in the box . Thanks Ross God Bless
Thanks Mark!
In the late spring I was at an auction where a AC all crop #72 pull combine sold for .... $5700 so you got a ways to go. It was a late model been on same farm since new never set out. But still $5700!!!
That’s crazy!!!
@@rosstheoliverman yeah! The auctioneer called Machinery Pete and I think it was in the 1 or 2 all time. The wild part ,being an auction it took at least 2 bidders.
👍👍
Thanks Tom !
I dicited find cheap pull type combine
They are fun to play with!
Looks nice keep giong with paint looks like that combine its Oliver it was farmer friend dad he couldn’t get rid of it memory his dad I respect that
Yeah I hope to have an Oliver one day!
Ya I’m working saveing up I got area mall hopefully land goa with it
The Ross way is the right way for Ross so who cares
🤣 so true
Great video Ross. That combine is gonna look great when you are done with it. I must say you are a better carpenter than I am. When I cut a board, I cut it three times and it's still to short. Have fun.
I did have a slight problem with them when I took it to the field but you’ll see that in the combining video 🤣
Pencil and square
Yeah, I should’ve got my square but I didn’t
Yes! Been waiting for these videos. Cool machine.
It’s pretty neat!
@@rosstheolivermanI do have to say it was painful watching you measure and cut those boards, but you got it done.😂
proud to see ya restoring the old equip an not letting it go to the scrap yard
I really enjoyed your video seeing the old cutter being used
Can't wait to see It in action
It was fun!!! The video will be out soon
MUST BE A GERMAN THING
🤣🤣🤣
Great video. Will be a great time and a lot of fun cutting wheat with that combine. You need to get the local news to come out and see it in operation. We had a customer that had welded round plates on his 77-seat frame and on the seat pan. It was his swivel seat so he could turn and see his equipment better. Paint cost is outrageous. $2,000 a gallon for some automotive paints.
My cousin and I talked about that after we used it, it would be fun to get an event together and have a bunch of old equipment running and get the paper out there to document it.
promo sm ❗
👍🏻
I mean, come on, man, is the sun getting to you?
It makes the hair on my leg turn blonde
@@rosstheoliverman 🤣🤣🤣
Ross, you should’ve painted each one a different color to recognize pride month.
I’ll pass on that
🎄🎉
Ross that combined will look like a brand-new and when you get done and your wallet will be a whole lot lighter 🤣🤣 thanks Michael
🤣 Thanks Michael!
Very nice looking combine.
Thank you!
Wow paint made it look a little more reliable haha. Maybe you won't have too much trouble with it. That would be cool to take to shows or parades, you don't see those pull type combines much.
It would be cool in a parade but boy I would hate to pull it that far. 🤣
Right? Yeah it's a big ol wide thing for sure. Sometimes I get nervous pulling the haybine down the road and combine looks wider. There are a bunch of crazy drivers who won't give you no room.
