I was just wondering what engine and hp your 6’s have in them?
Thanks Paul

Great pix. Appears to be peaking over the hill at Lenore/Peck area. I live between Spalding and Arrow above the fruit stand. What is your name, if I can ask? Ben Smith

D6B has a 333 engine at just over 140hp. The D6C has a 3306 engine at approximately 250hp. Our D6C was one of the first with that engine, same with the D4D being one of the first produced with the 3304 engine instead of a 330. The D4D has about 120hp.

Great pic's of the 95H combines, looks like Comfort King Cabs and AC, nice.
The 1970 vinatage 95H was the best one, they took the circle ring off the header and mounted it on a pin like the 6602's - 6622 have, they also got rid of the mickey mouse reel drive set up and went to a hydraluic drive, which was a big improvement. Never did have quite enough power, some guys took the six cylinder gas off and put on a 327 chevy for power. That made them run pretty good. We had a neighbor who ran five of the 95H's, had the same cabs as yours. One thing about them they were easy to work on, but there day has long since past. Hard to find parts anymore.
Great pics, Thanks for sharing.

The cure to the power problem was the 303 Diesel engine from Deere. Had one on the 95-H that I ran for years. All of the "pivot pin" 95-H's ( 69 & 70 model year) were built in 1969. The 303 Diesel had plenty of snort, and burned WAY less fuel than the gas counterparts. My 95-H only had a 40 gal fuel tank......you
could run a really long day & have fuel left over. Yup, their day has passed, but
they were the best back in the 60's.



And they could go places that some of the new fancy machines WON'T go:



This cab was built by the original owner:



Leveled out here at near the max for the 95-H of 42%. The latest machines
equipped with Hillco Levelers max out at 27% John Deere has 35% leveling
from Ag Systems (formerly RAHCO) on the 9770 & 9870 STS combines.

Hi North Idaho , you asked what year my C was. It is a 1977 with a 3306 I bought it mainly for heavy work but soon found out it burned less diesel than my JD 7800 working summerfallow. The 7800 burns about .5 gal/acre pulling a 36 ft cultaweeder going 5 mph. The C burns .36 gal/acre going the same speed. I got a low profile air seat from Idaho truck in Lewiston and put in mine improved the ride 100%. Aside from the 7800 our family has farmed with cats since we quit horses. My sister and her husband farm on the lower end of Anatone. I farm on Cloverland ridge.

98J, super pics of the 95H Dad bought me one to match his in 1988 both are 69's and mine is serial # 54001 It is in the shed maybe by the time I retire people will want to watch it in a harvest bee.

Bruce- you must have one of the last D6C units built because I think 1977 is when they switched to the D6D. What do you have for a cab on it?
I come up with .42gal/acre for our D6C and 42' of cultivator. I think that for heavy work, working steep ground, or in loose soil a cat may be better off but for light work on flat ground a wheelie may have our cats beat on burning fuel. Doesnt stop me from using them though!

For the discussion with 95-H combines, we ran a 67' and 69' for many years, bought the 68' for parts and decided it was in better shape than the 69' so we swapped headers to get the new style on it and ran the 67 and 68 the last 9 years. Another 69' was purchased for parts as well, we also acquired truckloads of parts from two neighbors when they switched from 95s to 6602s. We looked at buying our neighbors diesel 303 but most who ran them said the gas engine ran more reliably. Our 67' sits in a shed now still field ready with nearly 7,000 hours on it. The 68' we sold to a small hobby farmer and he cuts a couple fields with it.

We also have an old 6602 in the shed but we are going to try to sell it. We have a 20' grain header on a cart and 18' header with pea bar for it so we are hoping someone will buy it at least for the parts. In 08' we put 150 hrs on it with less than 3 hours of downtime so it is still a reliable machine. A few people are still running 02s around here.





the two 69s parted out



We charged the AC and washed the bird crap off for the guy that bought the 68'



They were good combines for the day, but the 6622s are much better for these days.

Again thanks for the great pics of the 95H's, spent some time around those.

Looks like you have taken the short dog leg clean grain elevator off and built a skid plate for the clean grain elevator. I believe in 1983 JD wised up and made that change for good. Nice looking 6622's We almost bought a 1985 6622, that was one of best ones of that vintage, then came the 7722. Seems like Deere was always changing things like the 1979 6602 came with a much heavier rear end, that they later used on the 6622's. Modivation on there part to get you trade up.

Looks like your running the 222 headers on the 6622's, that was an improvement on JD's part as well. Good stuff.

Wow, these are some great pics! I love the ones with the mountains in the back! it is just so beautiful. i hope to make my way out there one day just to see the view. too bad all we have here in Pa are these little hills. Keep up the great work!
