Worked on a few of those 64's. Dad had a 62 which was a narrow width, large dia cyl machine with regular straw walkers where the 64 like the 76 and 80 had the wide, small dia cyl. They made a 61 also. Only saw one of them . On soybeans, I drove the H and Dad stood on the drawbar running the header up and down on the 62 with the hand crank header control. Fun job.

Kevin, yes IH made the model 64. My dad bought a used one in about 1958. It was a 6-foot cut with a cub engine for power. We used it for about 10 years until my dad purchased a MF 35 SP. Still have it, but it has been rusting in the woods for at least 30 years. Probably still have the operator's manual. If you want a picture, I would have to go out in the woods and take one. It's pretty much buried in snow now. Al

My dad had a 64 and traded for a new 76. The sheet metal on the 76 was a little more squared off if I remember correctly. Made it look like more of an upgrade than it was.

The main difference was cutting width, 64" 76" and 80" From cutting bar to the grain tank was basicely the same.

Hi Kevin, IH built the 64 combine here in the UK at its Doncaster works and it was known as the B64 as all British built machines were prefixed B. It was built from the early 1950s to the mid 1960s and was available in bagger or tanker types. It was the UKs best selling trailed combine. A good friend of mine as just bought a ta ker model an we hope to work it at our clubs working day in August. MJ

I grew up with a 64. Grandpa bought in 1949 or 1950 and dad bought it in 1955 from him. It was a PTO model with the crank for the header control. I remember dad cranking up and down on the corners of the field. The last few years we cut the oats high and clipped the straw behind it with an H Farmall and 7' mower. We had the 400 on the combine. In 1965 dad traded the combine in for a John Deere 45 self propelled combine.

We had two of those #62 combines when I was a kid growing uop back in the '50s. 6' heads, Continential engine, 28 bu grain tank if I remember right. Both of ours had the dual option on the grain tank side.

Was quite a site for a young kid to see both combines in the same field being pulled by Hs. Uncle use to comment th reson we had two was so one combine wwould be running while waiting for the engine on the other to cool off enough to restart. I know he said once you got them started you didn't shut the engine off or it would be impossible to restart.

I guess this a little off the original subject, but I had a 50-T baler with an engine on it. Like you said would never start when hot. So dad found a long V-belt and we would hook it up to the belt pulley on tractor, started fine then.

That 150 Years of IH book is hardly all-inclusive. If it included every model of every piece of equipment IH ever made, it would be about 6 feet tall, I'd imagine.
