Yellow Oliver pull type 5 foot canvas head combine

Searching for information on a pull type Oliver combine that my Dad owned back in the early fifties.. If I recall correctly the model number was 20 but not sure. Combine had a wood slatted conveyor to remove straw to the rear for discharge instead of a straw walker. Combine was run by tractor PTO. I have never seen a yellow Oliver combine since my Dad traded it.

If anyone has seen one or has information, or knows where to find information about this model as using "google is" not showing any model like this.
 
The September /October 2022 issue of the Oliver Collector featured the older smaller Oliver Combines. There was a yellow onw on the cover. It was a model 2.

Thank you for your response. I will follow up and find this issue.
 
Just a quick little bio on those. The Model 2 Grain Master was built from 39 to 46. 5870 were built. They were a 5
foot cut, PTO only, none were built with motors. They could be run with a two plow tractor. Of the ones built, only
620 were yellow. They were known as the Golden Grain Master. Only 20 were built in 39, then 600 more in 40. The
rest of them were green from 40 until the end of production, so the ones that were yellow were rare to begin with.
If you find one in a barn now, in good shape, you've really got something. Oliver was so confident that the Model 2
would sell itself that they said they might as well send their salesman fishing.

Interesting bio! I can barely remember (since I was only 5 or 6 years old) the yellow Oliver combine sitting in the barn shed and Dad combining wheat and oats with it. I can remember Dad pulling it out of the shed and connecting the canvas together. Thansk for your comments!!
