A reused machine to grow local food.
He found the combine in an old barn.
It hadn’t run and harvested wheat in 20 years.
but it was free
and the present combine is a 1958 Massey Ferguson 310
and this is a 1964 and its a 410
and the plan is to have 2 working combines to grow 100 mile grains

A big wrench on the flywheel and we goter moven. Dust blew out the sparkplug holes!
No go for the moter so I got the hydraulics working to lift the table and pulled it on to the lowbead.
Rats had lived in the valves for years, so we got a new head from Fortin's machine shop.
New head and pushrods, cleaned it up and torqued it down.
After rebuilding clutches and carburetors, belts and pulleys, replacing hydraulic lines and wires, bearings and chains she ran pretty good in 2014-15.
This year the 1964 Massey Ferguson 410 runs even better with salvaged, tires, more new bearings and such. She doesn’t hardly slow down in the thick wheat of 2016.
