Started at 9 years old with a 100 bushel hopper box and yup an Allis WD45 hauling grain from a 137 cockshutt. Started running that combine at 12 years old
Tractors after the 45 was a D17 then 2 D19's then a brand new 190 with a cab in 1964. The last Allis was a 7045 then switched to the green ones
Combined were the 137 then a 428 then dad switched to IHC first a 403 then the monster 503 and after that a 1500 NH probably one of the best combines ever made. When I started on my own I bought a 1500 used it for years
My best memory of combining was at 15 years old did some custom combining of flax with the IH 403 in November. Colder than a bitch no cab. Dad said I had worked like a man what did I want for wages. I told him get a cab and man were we kings the next year with that new Fibro cab on that 403
