Yes, the T-2 is self propeled. This is powered by a 172 cid Ford industeral engine. Have been told that it is the only year Gleaner used Ford power. I wounder if the "T" manuel would have any common parts and operation adjustmentsIJ Would you consider selling the "T" manuelIJ I will bet there are not many manuels out there for a T-2. Thanks.

The T2 and T3 combines are briefly mentioned in the book "The Grain Harvester" (ISBN: 0-916150-13-5). It says that the T2 had a 7 foot cut and the T3 had a 10 foot cut and both had a 23" cylinder. In a picture caption it says the T2 had a 10 foot and the T3 at 7 foot. Guess the proof reader didn't catch that error. But the lower number having the smaller header sounds right.

John The seral number plate is missing from mine, but it has the seven foot header. I took the wheels and tires to the tire shop today. Will have to replace all the tires, so will paint the wheel's while the tires are off. A-C orange, will use the "corprate" orange of AGCO. Only difference I can see is the AGCO paint has a high glossIJ Thanks for the info. Frank
