A friend of mine bought one of these in 1989. He still has it and it still does the job. I've always liked the older equipment because it has less computers, monitors, sensors etc to fubar your day. Great video as always.

That’s a well cared for combine. The Case IH paint scheme on the old 14 series body makes for a sharp machine.

Many years ago one of my customers got a new 1440 combine. He brought in his first load of spring wheat and when I got the scale ticket in my office I saw that my guys didn't take any dockage on the load. I asked them about it and they showed me the sample from the load. The sample was as clean as seed wheat. We were impressed.

I had a 1460 ih. Was a good combine. Ran pretty much trouble free. I harvested corn, beans and wheat with it. Did a great job.

Our 1660 combine with a IH 466 engine has been our main girl for over 20 years. It's great for our 400 acres a year of corn and with duals and a mudhog system it'll go just about anywhere in our area in WNY

Still run a 1979 IH Axial Flow combine. Does a great job in wheat, millet and milo. So far, have been lucky in still finding parts to keep it running well.

This was a great video on this older combine Jason. Enjoyed hearing the history and seeing how much things have become more sophisticated in the new combines. Thank you. Peter

Our red cab 1985 IH 1460 has the factory DT466 engine. You would be surprised at the numerous updates such as shaft size and bearing sizes on some parts. We have had everything off of ours except the cab, engine and one front final drive. Dad still used it this fall with no break downs.

G F Cooper Farms in Ohio. We've got the IH 1460 and 1480 combines that we are still using today to harvest corn and beans with. Love these older machines.

It amazes me to see how clean and straightforward the controls were on this 1985 Case IH 1460. When you think about just how complicated the electronics are on the harvesters of today, you almost need to be a rocket scientist to run them. 😉 Love seeing your videos my friend.

My family's operation has one of these IRL, picked it up for 2k right before harvest this year, runs pretty good along side the 815 and 2588

Memories from Indiana! The first combine I bought was a 1460 after my Dad sold his New Holland 985 which was a great machine, but after he drove the 1460 he thought he was in heaven! much easier to work on, the 985 it always seemed like you'd have to take off 2 belts to get to the one that needed replacing. On my third 1660 (combine fires) now a 1990 model. Would have replaced it with a 2166 or 2366 by now but a rod went through the block on the Cummins motor and rebuilt it. But maybe next year. Really want to see if the newer cab's on the 2000 series are less dusty due to having covid lung and on oxygen. If anyone thinks they are an improvement please let me know. If not I'll keep on rolling in the Ole 1660. And nice video!

We had a 1460 a 1660 then a 2166 and now a 2577. They were very reliable and simple combines, they work good !!

[bobsmith]

Great video Jason. I love watching classic combines harvesting corn and beans. They may not be high powered or fancy but they still get the job done.😊😊😊

Hi Jason. Thank you for your videos. The only combine I ever rode or drove was back in 1975 here in New Zealand. It had no cab, just a sun screen. Steering levers brake system to steer it. It had also been converted from a bagging system to bulk. Also a petrol engine, straight 4 cylinder. Harvested barley for feed in Hawkes Bay province. No photos and I cannot remember the model. You got very warm and itchy harvesting barley. We also baled the straw. Best regards, Silas.

First combine I drove in the 80’s. I’m running a 8120 now and am amazed how far we’ve come. She was so simple in hindsight.

[sergiomarin]

good to see an older combine getting the job done. not messing with expensive sensors and computers

[ScottPykare]

A very cool find Jason. That auger just clears that trailer. It's still doing a good job.

[bigln]

Nice old school combine. Looks like a well cared for machine.

[dotschlegel]

Love the video. We have a beautiful well-kept well-maintained one at auction this week in Indiana. It has been an excellent piece of equipment in our farming business. Retired from farming so equipment no longer needed.
