Certainly more modern than the previous McCormick thresher, this machine (perhaps a 1940s vintage) combined the swather with the thresher, earning its moniker "Combine". Covered with gears and chains, it would swath (cut) the grain off and move it into the threshing compartment via the auger visible up front. It was towed by a modern diesel tractor and given operating power through a spinning drive shaft seen just behind the levers, and was connected to a powered coupling below the tractor seat and between the rear wheels. This model appears to be retired, and as a result of disrepair, will only harvest the snow. A crop is a crop, and who is to say where the harvest should stop?
