[AT] Thoughts on small combines, other harvest machinery and where it takes us (continued)

[charlie hill]

Gene,  I've been looking at C.H. Wendell's Allis Chalmers Story and it 
appears your dad's combine would have had to be a model 40.  That was 
apparently the first of the Gleaner combines for AC and before that they had 
the Advance Rumley Prairie models that were pretty large and clumsy looking 
machines.
