Connor,

Thanks for the video and please keep up the good work. I don't live near a Perkins Pancake House at this time, but I have eaten lots of buckwheat pancakes in the past.

By the way, does the guy riding on the tongue of the combine have a death wish or is he just very confident of his ability to stay on the unit? LOL

Nice Vidio , boy,! those Wisconsin motors were a real pain to get started . ,. Dad had a PTO driven F-2 Case combine that looked similar He pulled it with a SC Case.. He ran it thru the 50'sand about 1967 bought a JD 25, Then traded that for JD 30 . As kids as Young as 11 ,We routinely rode the hitch in front of the grain tank, DANGER of any kind Never Bothered Us in the least . WE stood within arms reach of moving belts and pulleys and the risk of missing our step and falling thru.My Dad watched closely from the 430 CASE and warned Us every day about the dangers . We rarely went faster than a quick walk.. We would step off and step back on, providing Dad a hand sample of grain from the bin and handing him the threshed heads , At that point He would instruct us to Crank The cylinder speed alongside the tank 4 turns ot so .We never got hurt except for bustingour knukles working on the durn thing .
 
Thanks for the replies. We determined the risk assessment to be low with the DC in first gear. It can be a pain to run the header height lever from the seat.
