[AT] Left or right combines?

[Gene Waugh]

Everything is relative, isn't it Ralph---you speak of the "little six foot
table"---yet the Oliver that my grandfather replaced was 5'---and I only
kid,  because this was about the time (early 50's) that he (grandfather)
went from one row to two row cornpicker.

However...my Dad grew up picking and then husking by hand!  What an
improvement even a 1 row picker was!!!

Yes, most of the pto combines I grew up with were right hand cut. That would
include Case 460 and older, John Deere 65 and 95, Massey 751, 405, Cockshutt
8650, IH 402 and the later 914s which were very popular here.. Might be a
few others in there I have forgotten.
I still have my Dad's old model A Case in the bush along with a few pictures
and it also was right hand cut with the little six foot table and canvas
draper.
