Massey Ferguson Super 92 wheat harvest

A walk around this 1960 machine showing some of the moving parts,then a view from the driver's cab while combining in the wheat! The engine is a straight 6 dodge flathead 265 with the valves in the block.Engaging the thresher mechanism is done by pushing down a handle in the cab which moves an idler pulley which tightens a flat drive belt. Same with the unloading auger, tighten a belt which stays slack the rest of the time.The shaker arm on the right side shakes the grain through the sieves while a blast of air sends the chaff out the back. The straw slapper at the back spreads around the straw so it can be plowed later.

YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS!?? You just CANT get mechanical

efficiency and simplicity with todays combines! You just cant

thats what i grew up on..... when the old girl was on her last leg (in the 90s) i cut some 100 bushel to the acre milo with it..... 14 ft header.... on the last of the field i pushed it as hard as it could go.... filled the bin, 60 bushel, in 10 minutes flat, i knew it wasnt going to ever cut for us again.... so i let her have a good hard run.

Bloody impressive video. Mesmerizing stuff. I'm not sure, however, how safe it was filming the way he / she did. There's a helluva lot of things to get entangled in, especially the straw spreader while peering into the arse-end.

All the same, damned impressive stuff.

I ran a MF Super 92 with diesel engine [Perkins, I think] here in Alberta one fall about 25 yrs ago- coulda bought it cheap on realized much later that it was somewhat of a collector item- we never knew what we had!

Our farm had a Massey Harris 92 Hillside which may still exist to some extent. I spent a lot of seasons riding in my spot on that combine. They had some characteristic sounds. Sort of a ticking sound when idling and a nice throaty roar from behind at full throttle. Ours had an 18' header on it. It moved pretty slow but did a good job.

Dangerous machine,keep fingers and toes far away...

We had a pickup for this one too, used it for spring barley.Had to take the reel off and remove the knife.The swaths would usually get rained on and then when they dried again the dust cloud would obscure the machine.There was even a 2row corn head for it with an amazing conglomeration of gears and cogs.I'm glad to hear there's still a few of them running!Thanks for the comment

The Steiger brothers, inventors of the Steiger tractors, had three of those combines when they were first getting started farming. Later, they traded for three 105 John Deeres.

It does a great job harvesting but it is slow by todays standards.You might get 25 acres a day through it while a new machine should do 100 acres.I have to stop and bail a couple quarts of oil into the engine and grease about 65 grease fittings. Usually something flies apart at least once a day,(need lots of tools!)The cab is like a sauna with a cloud of itchy dust thrown at you for good measure.With all those shaking and vibrating parts it feels like you're going to get thrown out of the seat.
