Combining a small field of oats with a 1961 Cockshutt model 18 pull type combine.

Pulling with a 1976 Massey Ferguson 275 tractor.
This combine is new to me and I am new to combines and am still learning about setting and running them.I was going 1.7 miles per hour.

The cut width is 7 feet.
The grain tank is 25 bushels.

The combine has a Hart Carter model K Scour Kleen on it, a rotary recleaner to remove small weed seeds and fines. It is putting the weed seeds into the white sack on the back of the grain tank. The screen in it is a size 1K, .165" triangular perforations.

In front of the grain tank I have a water pressure fire extinguisher made from a water pressure tank.

The combine originally had a manual lever header lift, I made a bracket for a hydraulic cylinder as the lever was very inconvenient to use.



This model is the same as a Oliver 18 combine and was built by Oliver as the Oliver model 18 in Battle Creek Michigan from 1955 to 1960. Oliver took over Cockshutt in 1960 and moved production of Cockshutt combines from Brantford Ontario to Battle Creek Michigan and moved production of the Oliver combine designs from Battle Creek to Brantford Ontario, in Canada.If you have any more history or information about this model or any questions, please comment, I will try to read them all.
