Now, if only it was 1960, I'd be a high roller.

Anyway, got to pull the old stuff out this weekend to put the oats in. Took a break when I finished the first field and took some photos on the way back out...I brought company too, although I think it'll be a few more years until she can drive it.

IH McCormick 101 and a Case SC pulling the gravity wagon. The combine was a lot more enjoyable to run this year as most of the oats were on flat ground and I was able to relax (just a little) from the normal seat puckering action that I get on the hills. All in all though these are by far the fun days.

You had better luck than I did. I hadn't had much trouble with that Oliver 7300 combine since I bought it. But Friday,I started cutting oats. About 4:30 in the afternoon there was some bad clattering in the feeder house and the clutch started slipping. I shut it off,backed out and headed for the end to unload,was going to drop the head off and see what was going on. I went about 200 feet and there was a clatter underneath and it rolled to a stop. I walked up and got a wagon and unloaded.

Saturday morning,the oldest boy and I went up,took the head off and towed it home. The spring in the back side of the front variable speed pulley had come unwound and tore off a steel line to the variable speed cylinder. I worked until about 4 o'clock rewinding the spring and fixing the line.

So then I ended up having to take the feeder house off to fix the chain. Three paddles were all twisted up,the chain was broke and twisted on one side. I got it all back together and going again about 11:30 Sunday morning. I don't think those thin weedy oats were even worth the effort.
 
Jameson ,thanks for putting on the pics.I love combining oats.Its one of my favorite jobs.Randy I sure hate you had problems,it sure takes the fun out of things.I still admire your Oliver combine I think it would be neat to operate.
