     Ralph;
    Yes, the 42 is a pull type combine. It was the same seperator unit as 
the 40 self propelled. It had an all crop cylinder so it could run corn with 
the #205, 2 row corn head.
    This is a link to a photo of a #40 self propelled combine. I could not 
locate a picture of a #42, but this is the basic size of it.

    Had a good friend (no mechanical talent)who owned a #40. He worked 
midnight shift on the railroad. Left a note one night that he couldn't get 
the combine running. I went out the next morning and cleaned and gapped the 
points. Got it running and decided to run some corn till he woke up from 
sleeping. I ran 2 gravity wagons and 1 truck full. Finally went to the house 
and woke him up. He asked if I was there to fix the combine. I told him "no" 
I wanted him to empty some wagons so I could keep running
