One heck of a workshop project - Bi Rotor Combine

[Dead Rabbits]

Gould you put it back into use if you bought one or both of them?

Yeah I would definitely have a place for them with my dad. I mostly milk cows now days. It’s unlikely I’ll be able to afford one.

I’ve known about this guy and his combines since I was a kid, so just going to see them will be enough for me. (I’m taking the check book just in case) Engineering and machinery, specifically combines, has always fascinated me. It’s sad how it all ended up, hopefully a museum or someone like John kinzenbaugh buys them.

Be nice to see some pictures, if you get chance, on here. And keep us informed on where they find their new home please.

It went to Fort Wayne Indiana. The guys that bought it make planter parts. They said they were going to fix it up, get it running, maybe refine it a bit. They said they had big plans for it but were vague on details.

Sounds good. Hope it survives. Good bit of farm ingenuity that machine.
