about 100 years (Farm Collector, August 2004) but none of

I think the model of the IH combine on the cover of the January
2007 edition is a 51; Model 141 was an early self-propelled
machine. I sewed sacks on a 51 for several seasons.

of the January 2007 issue is definitely not a Model 141, and
appears to be a pull-type Model 51. Thanks for the
correction!
