Hi,
I ran across a set of tracks for a Deere model 55 combine. I'm wondering, as is the seller, if these might be useful on one of the old JD crawler models?
eBay link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=011
They are in Kansas, so a bit too far for me to wander off looking at them. There are two sets and they look pretty decent, like they weren't used much. There's also two track frames with four rollers and two idlers on each. Looks like the sprockets are too large for use on a crawler, but I count 28 links in the one photo.
Might be a lot of useful parts there - if they cross to something else.
Lavoy, might you know?
Anyone got a parts book for a 55 combine and can look up the part numbers for these things??
I'd be willing to bid on them and go get them if I had even a good idea that they'd fit something that looks like a Deere crawler.....
Later!
Stan

I haven't been able to find any reference to an option for tracks on a 55 combine. They look more they would have come off of some sort of excavator but I haven't been able to find anything like them. Be interesting to hear why the guy says they're from a 55 combine.
The thing is that there are parts pretty similar to a Deere undercarriage but it's hard to see them clearly in the pictures. Check out the track rollers. On the other hand, the pads and rails look more like an Oliver to Lavoy's point. Stan, you sure come up with some head scratchers.

Hi,
Yes, I've seen combines with track options before as well, but have no references (as in manuals) for them. Nothing says that Deere used the same track parts on the combines as they did on the crawlers. Which is, of course, why I asked in the first place - hoping that someone either knew or had something in the way of reference materials.
In hindsight, I ought to have talked dad into keeping all those manuals we had in the shop when we went under. They got tossed at the time, of course.
I thought they might not be useful to any of us. They look to be larger in the photos that what we use. However, without any other reference, it is hard to tell from photos.
I do hate to see things like that go for scrap, which is what the seller will probably do with them if no one bites on the auction. Lots of these kinds of parts are becoming pretty scarce, and we all know that there's someone out there who'll be looking for such things if not now, then eventually.
Oh, well. If they were closer, I'd bid on them anyway and stick them on pallets under a tarp out back. As it is, anyone close to the things want to do that?
Later!

Here's a picture I found of a rice combine. Track system is similar but not the same and I couldn't identify the combine. Does look like it would be quite a site.

Parsons isn't horribly far from my farm in western MO, but I wouldn't have a way to ship it from Parsons to there and can't really afford to. Otherwise it would be an idea. Probably should concentrate on getting my parts 2010 shipped to me

Hi,
Well, there's no point in getting them if they don't fit anything else we're likely to have, even at the way low price of $300. I sure as heck will not be buying a rice combine to stick these tracks on anytime soon!
It's just something that popped up on the old eBay radar screen and I figured that now would be a good time to think about what they might fit.
Later!
