Brother has several gas and diesels, picker, sheller, combine, choppers, and snowblower. Dad got the first one new in 1967.

We still run a 701 Power unit (w/ 401 GM V-6 gasser) along with a 720 2-row header and a 726 husking bed.

A cousin has had a very nice 701 ( I think) gasser with a two row wide chopper and a combine with a 13 ft direct cut head for sale for scrap price for 2 years now with no takers.

Local elevator has a big gray Cummins diesel, 902? It has rear wheel drive that does not work and I think a gear in the engine front that drives the injection pump that is out. New big tires and a grain conveyors system to pick up piles about 30' long. A friend offered them $500 which they dismissed but I think a guy could make some money on it. The rear assist would be expensive.

Where is it located ?

vscummins · Dec 7, 2014

Where is it located and how much you loom king to get out of iit? I have so many projects to get to that I really shouldn't get any more

vscummins · Dec 7, 2014

Did you buy them new how did they compare price wise to say buying a combine and choppers separate ? I'd imagine the uni system was cheaper?

Got a 703 power unit, 737 husking bed, 740 feeder house and 744w corn head. Bought used.

Got a 708 with the Perkins diesel. Same engine as the Massey combines back then.
It will be much more efficient if you have a power unit for each machine. It will take you half a day to change if you do the full maintenance while changing over. We used to chop hay then corn silage then high moisture ear corn then change over to shell corn. We used a 676 chopper for the hay and silage then an old 760 for the ear corn. A 727A I think it was for shelling. So we would blow out the radiator and wash it between changes. Grease the threads on the screw for the belts and the jacks so you could turn them easily. grease the swivels on the feet. Grease or adjust anything on that side since you can't reach it good after the attachment is on. Back in it's day it would out chop most choppers and really out run any pull chopper around. The knives want to just tick the ledger as you turn it by hand, after you sharpen them. If you do that it will chop with the most speed and least power/fuel. We ran one 4 years till the cows went away. We used to fill 7 8x150 bags a year. 3hay,3corn,1ear corn.

Dad had a couple 701s with 292GMs in them back in the day. Had a 737? husking bed then later a Combine unit for it. Ran a 3 row head.

The 410 MF combine was a huge step up in every regard.
