Combines Clayes M 80 M 89 M 103 combines

I have some pictures about these combines but I haven't a scanner. It's Claeys and not Clayes. I live on about 45 km away from the factory where they have made them and where they still make new combines.

WHAT COMBINES ARE MADE THERE NOWIJ

Now they make the CX for the European martket and the CS. The production of the TC is moved to Poland. The BB (Big Baler) and the FX (forage harvester) are made too here in Zedelgem Belgium.

Thanks a lot to you for guick answer concerning my Claeys enquiry. I myself have visited Zedelgem in 1980. At the moment they made machines of 80-series. Regards Jony

I know some of these combines were powered by a Deutz engine but i never see one with that engine. My father learned to drove harvesters with a 103. It was a combine built in Spain by Santana and it had a Ford engine i think. These engines had a lot of problems with the water pump and with some water seals, specially in our hot summers.

Thanks a lot for your answer. It is interesting to hear your comments of Ford engines and problems of their water seals and pumps. Regards Jony

I have a website about the Claeys m80 (with Ford engine)... We used to own this machine but my granda quit with farming 3 years ago, so we sold him.
