Case A6 Combine Video

I thought I would post a video of the Case A6 combine my brother and I rescued. It is fun to work on it and it is fun to harvest with it. Hope everyone enjoys!

Great job on seeing her reborn! CM

Lots of memories there!! My Dad had the same combine when I was a little kid. When you got the motor started, you didn't shut it off unless you wanted to wait a couple of hours for it to cool off enough to get it to start again. He was always taking the canvas to New Boston to get patched and sewed. He pulled it with a Jubilee Ford, said it was the best combine made. Thanks for the pictures!! Chris

Great job restoring. Had a Case model A6 on the farm until about 1964. Pulled by a John Deere model "H". My job was on the bagging platform. Anybody remember how wide the pickup was? 5 or 6 feet?

Grandfather had an A6 for combining pinto beans, It had a Hercules inline 4 cylinder and water cooled. Was this an extra option when purchased? Still have the Case magneto off of it. All I've seen are the Wisconsin V-4s.

Thank you for the replies everyone. The A6 is a 6 foot cut. We have the pickup head also but we don't use it for our cover crops so it is tucked away in a shed. We converted the combine to modern sickles and guards and a modern canvas. She works very well.

Looking good, and very familiar. Seems all those V4 Wisconsins were hard starting. My dad lost days of combining sometimes working on that stubborn little engine. My brother had better luck when he re-purposed it on the firewood buzz saw. I've made several videos of it working. I still have the combine here parked since 1966. Also the model K pull type my uncle used into the 1960s.

Thanks for the video... Brings back some memories. My Dad had a A6 and I remember it fairly well. Sold it for $75 in I think '74 after getting a used Deere 45. I was about 8 then.

His was pretty worn out. I remember the tin and screws patches here and there, also he made new wood doors for the top of the "header". That Wisconsin must have used a lot of oil. I still remember the way the STP oil additive would slooowwwly come out of the pull top can when he poured it in. He bought it by the case prior to harvest season. It had a hume reel and for some reason it did not go with the combine and got left in the shed. I moved it to a different shed a few years ago to make more room for the 1948 Moline ZTU (same tractor used to pull the A6 BTW). There was a new flat drive belt and some sickle guards in the tool shed when I cleaned up in there and I gave those to a local case collector. No idea why that stuff didn't go with the combine either.

Seems like Case used better paint than other companies. My dad's old A6 has sat in the bush all it's life and still looks like good orange Case paint. The 60 Massey that he bought in 1966 was already the colour of rust at ten years old.
