Photo below from earlier this week .... our tractor club augering barley into our bins at a 50-acre plot that we lease. Those Olivers really are great .... and so are the 95 combines (but only sometimes) .... LOL !!! The 95 combine is currrently 'out of order'.

I had a 95 I bought back in about 1990. It was a restoration project and I learned how to open up half a dozen or so types of JD hydraulic cylinders. Its doom and gloom was on my first harvesting job, I was working a neighbor's oat field and there were a couple of very tall/large diameter power transmission poles in the field.

I had extended the auger delivery chute sticking out for some reason, don't know why now. I cut over to the area of the poles and on the first one, I maneuvered the 24' header around the pole and was patting myself on the back when I heard this huge crashing noise......looking back the auger delivery pipe was just dangling. I had forgotten about that. We unloaded into his bin by holding a piece of corrugated tin between the 95 and the storage bin. I sold it in the field. Never knew the fate and that was OK. Bought a MF 760 [ I think I remember it as a MF (it was red) with AC cab and a much better cutter].

My dad's last combine was a 105, it was the last combine I ever ran. He had a 95 before that, and the first one I remember I think was a 45. It was self-propelled, with a Hercules 6-cylinder engine, does that make sense?

Funny you mention that Mark ..... we had a similar thing happen earlier in the week. One of the combine pilots forgot about a tree stand around a dugout on the property and clipped the auger spout. Not too much damage to the spout but the boomer assembly that secures it into place flew off into the field somewhere .... we still haven't found it. But we had access to a parts 95 and we swapped it out and continued. As for Russ' question, I'm the wrong guy to be asking any of that technical or spec stuff. My skills are limited to my 20-year-old digital Canon camera .... ha! Our club also has a MF550 that we picked up last year.

Had to have been a 55 as the 45 only had 4 cylinder engines. I had 4 of the 45 machines and no desire for something bigger.

Looks like my place... But the Oliver would be an old Farmall! LOL

I had a 55 and a 105.

I was kind of disappointed in the 105. It didn't have as much more capacity over the 55 than I expected.

Hey that's perfect picture from here. Our 95 is done in the shed , done with corn.
We retroed a new Holland tube auger on there to reach over our ten wheeler sides.
It's heavy to get extended out.
Thanks for sharing. GG Wes
