International 503 Combine

Owned one for a number of years. Hauled it for scrap a year ago. Had both a three row corn head and a sixteen foot head to cut wheat.

I'd rather have leprosy in both eyes and a bug in my ear and a tooth ache while being home sick than have a 00 series jd combine. :lol:

Well now you are just being nasty! I've done a few acres in a couple of '00 series and got along just fine!

And a 4400 for a thousand bucks doesn't owe anybody too much.

But there were good ones and bad ones in every model.

I've only had a little experience - - - 2) 4400s 1) 6600 2)7720s 1)9500 and 1) 9550

Still running the 9500 and the 9550 - - - main reason we traded the 7720s off was so we could put child seats in the cab ( although they are easier to operate)

Between the 4400s and the 6600s I had three Olivers ( the biggest being a 7800 that was top of the line at the time ) Also ran three New Ideas with husking beds ( only 6 row ear corn pickers in the county ) did custom work for several seed corn companies as well as filling 4 cribs that held 8,000 bu each.

I feel with reasonable care most equipment will preform well.

Ain't that the truth, George? I got a D7 3t---early 40's------hyd dozer and elec start on the pony motor been added. And my other stuff is a tad newer----stack cruiser maybe early 60's---and--wowser!---some even newer.

But maintained right, used but not abused, it gets the work done. And all bought on the 'one easy payment' plan.
 
Went back to California to help out some folks once, these people didn't throw anything away. D8-2u, pony motor had a crank out the top of the hood. Stack retriever was on a 38 dodge 2 ton truck. We went to town for grocery in a 49 Chevrolet 5 window. Pulled the hay balers with 2 fordson majors.
