This unit is for sale not far from my house. These were made in Braham, the town I grew up in. They were considered top of the line in their day.
These are tied even closer to me as the company came out to the farm to take measurements from dad's tractor and even took his tractor in to the factory to make the mounts for the unit. Up til then they had put these on jd a d ih tractors but they had customers that wanted the case with com. I know of several of these around, one at WMSTR in Rollag MN.
Later the made at least one with a 770 case and used dad's 870 for a pattern, but I've never seen one of those in person. By then they had gone to mostly pull type. I remember the lines of the ull type units sitting along the hyway waiting to be ent out, but don't remember any self propelled ones, altho my brothers remember those.
