Combines What is the first combine you ever ranIJ

[Mr__lucky]

I first drove a JD55 with a 12 ft. head in wheat and heat. I think it was a 1949 model, but, I can't be sure about that. I do remember when dad got a 1953 55 then added a 54. They both had 14 ft. heads. The 54 had a fold up unloading auger. The 53 had to be taken off and hauled in the truck if you went down a narrow road or put it in the shed.

My first is a 55 with 343 head. I bought a 4400 D this year. I'll sell the 55 after 2001 harvest.
