Simple construction, not 2-3 pulleys on each bearing. I've had 4 in 36 years- K, F, F2, M2. If I could access my old Photoshop account, I'd post a pic of the angled steps I built to get into the cab...also extra steps and catwalk on the machine. I've also had mobility issues- built simple hand clutches for 3 tractors, cost about $5 each and don't interfere with anyone else driving the tractor. google 'Agrability" for farmer fixes.

Looked at a F-2 today ....gleaner is it..You gleaner enthusiast are right on the mark. I'm kinda the "poster child" for agribility here...unfortunatly their answer was a low intrest loan at farm credit for a upend combine. I can do that at the FSA.....I want it paid for....I'm still goin to look at the 2 f-3's and I know duetz diesels inside out. Thanks for Your Real understanding of my problem...God Bless.......Mike [Reply]  [No Email]

I know they built them at the same time, but I haven't heard of an F3 with a Deutz powerplant. Did they make them? I thought they still had Allis engines. [Reply]  [No Email]

Jeez am I in the wrong part of the country ?! Heck I'm trying to bring my crop in !! hahaha!!! [Reply]  [No Email]

Do yourself a favor and check out the F3s. They have the electro hydraulic push button controls for all the major functions. The late F2 "Golden Harvest" series were really the same as a F3. Keep us posted on your quest. Ryan [Reply]  [No Email]

Do you have to carry a voltmeter in the cab ? haha! ..Can't wait for Wed to see those F-3's!! [Reply]  [No Email]

The twist is they had a IH 1440 in prestine condition for 5k.I liked how the combine was laid out etc and it's well maintained, they told me it was a little underpowered compared to a 1460 but for what I wanted it should fly thru the job...what do ya'll recomend now ?
