[Farmall] restored combine

[bsdunek at ismi.net]

Interesting!  Only see an occasional combine at shows.  Back when, we
had a John Deere 12A we pulled with the M.  I would like one today
but like you say, it's a job to haul them around.  The 12A had to be
nearly 10 feet wide too, as it was a 6 foot cut.  When you add the
width of the grain tank and wheels.  I know it was a tight fit
through some of our gates.
