[AT] Left or right combines?

[Bigdog]

It was on the right farmer.  I can't recall the model number but IH combine we used when harvest was going full tilt was a righty.  Switching between it and the JD kept your back flexible.

  I seem to recall some combines having the "works" on the left and some on the right but 
  can't recall which had them on the right. The Deere 12-A I grew up using had everything 
  (cutter, canvas and cylinder) on the left and I'm sure the Allis 60 was on the left. I 
  "think" the Case A was on the right but can't picture it in my head. I have the remains 
  of one setting in my staging area to be sold as scrap but just can't form a picture. I 
  don't recall which way IHC was. Anybody remember?
