Good luck with the 95.
Thinking ours was a round back.
Shouldn't be hard to spruce up.

It was in a shed up till a few years ago when they needed space harvested some straw each year for square bales

Where is my grandfather's and Dad's 1947 55, any one seen it?

I hope it isn't the same 55 that ended up at my neighbor's farm. When he moved to town, They dug a hole pushed it in with a bunch of other machinery, burnt whatever would burn smashed it down and buried it all. About 25 years ago, but I think I can remember the spot if you want to check it out.

I wonder why combine manufacturers don't have the unload bottom augers in the hopper moving grain to the back with the swing out auger in the center, allowing both left and right side grain unloading. There are times when this feature would be used.

The Versatile 2000 pulltype could unload on either side. The auger pivot was at the back of the hopper and hung over the front of the combine when not in use.

The big white and versatile would of been great had they used better parts to build them.

That combine is in pretty good shape!

Is your 95 combine a hydro or a diesel? I don't know much about John Deere combines but i think the 105's had both available. your 95 looks like a late model with square back and quik attach header.

[SASKFARMER]

hydro and gas. Last of the production before the 6600 AND 7700 MODELS

[poorboy]

hydro or variable speed drive?

[BTO780]

I would call it my new “X95”.

[SASKFARMER]

Started ordering parts for it and found lots in REGINA

For whatever reason there was few JD combines here, Massey was king followed by cockshut. The MF dealer back in the day was second to no one. There was no such thing as parts not in stock or the doors closed. When the round back 105 came out a neighbor had a jd 55 and a mf 92 standard. Local JD dealer talked them into trading both claiming the 105 would outdo both. Halfway into harvest they bought the Massey back.
