About Yaz AllCrop

“Yaz All-Crop” is a website dedicated to supply parts and information on the All-Crop harvester made by the Allis-Chalmers company from the
1930’s to the 1960’s. More All-Crops were sold than any other make of pull-type combine.This blog serves to inform All-Crop fans the going-on’s in the All-Crop community with the occasional diversion to other topics related, or unrelated, to farming with antique farm equipment. Tom Yasnowski of Hampden PA writes for the blog website and runs the part-time business. In “real life” Tom is a computer programmer for Harsco Gas-Serv. He does not actively farm, but owns a patch of the old family homestead on the other side of the state where his All-Crop and antique tractors patiently wait for some quality time during his frequent visits. Tom’s pre-occupation is tolerated by wife Kelly and three daughters: Carrie, Amy, and Molly. Tom has given up trying to convert his wife to the religion of old farm equipment, but there is hope for the girls….

    I would like to get in touch with Charles Hines of Colorado City, Texas. He is the fellow that restored his Fathers 66 and put the info on your site. Colorado city is not far from my place (in Texas distance not New England distances). I would like to visit or talk to him about some of the things I may need to do to the 66 that I pick up in MO.

  2. Mike McPeek Says:

    I am going to do more seed this year, my 66 has a pick up instead of a real, can some one refer me to some info on when the crops are ready to windrow? Also with all the grease fittings on the allcrop I am thinking about putting grease stations on it, do you think its doable?

    My Response can be found there

  4. Tom Says:

    But I realized you asked a another new question on windrowing…

    It depends on the crop..Look at the back of the owners manual; it has instructions for windrowing per crop. Also you may want to ask this ? on http://www.allischalmers.com

    Hope your remanufacturing buisness is doing well. Had the same idea several years ago when I was looking for a small combine and could not find one. Finilly found two All Crop 60’s. Only complaint was loading them on my trailer and transporting them. I replaced them with a Gleaner model E self propeled. Much easier to transport. This would be a good machine for your to remanufacter also.
    Hope your buisness prospers and grows

    Do you know how high you can raise the blades of the various All-Crop models? I’m interested in the idea trying to leave as much of the straw standing in the field as possible to be rolled down or brushhogged down to act as mulch/litter in the pastures that we will be “pasture cropping” in order to improve fertility. Thanks!

  11. Tom Says:

    Raise the blades? Dont you mean raise the header? I have had no problem getting the header high enough to do what you want with your garden variety wheat, in fact it can be too high in that i was loosing grain heads…

    Hi there

    someone mentioned your site to me. I have a 72 all crop and I need a finishing seive for small grains (eg: wheat, rye). I live in eastern ontario. Any suggestions of contacts for that. Thus far I have just been trying kijiji (kind of like craig’s list) and word of mouth.

    thanks very much

  19. Dan M Says:

    Peter,

    I have a 1/12 circular hole spare finishing sieve that measures ~29.5″ deep x 30″ wide…it should fit the model 72 as well as my model 66. This sieve is probably best for very small seeds such as mustard, alfalfa, etc. It is not a wheat screen. If you want it, I would sell it for $75 plus UPS shipping costs to canada (private message me if you are interested).

    For wheat, I have used the elongated hole sieve screens (~.1″ wide x 3/4″ long slots) for buckskin hard red winter wheat with excellent threshing/sieve/recirculation results.

    Also, I use a scour kleen unit at the end of the elevator just above the grain bin, which does a final cleaning of undesired dockage…read my summary at:

    http://www.forum.allcropharvester.com/yaf_postst84_Need-Advice–Scour-Kleen-Screen-to-Best-Clean-Wheat.aspx

    I had a #2 (0.140″) triangular hole screen made up and it did a good job of screening out the western sunflower seeds and other dockage last season,

    Let me know if this helps you.

    Dan M.

    Hi Folks,

    Just so you know, this blog is kinda “defunct”; best take your querys to allcropharvester.com Pete, all I have is the tiny clover screens right now. Dan, thanks for the reply; hope you and Pete can work a deal.

  21. James Gamble Says:

    Can’t find ph # on your site. Need parts. Have ordered from you in past.

  22. Kenny Darnell Says:

    I have a 66 with grain header and 2 66s with corn heads, all restorable. Where can I find info on values for those models? Thanks!

    • Thomas Yasnowski Says:

      There is no “blue book” for these machines. Value depends on condition, location. For 66, seen them go for free to over $1000.
