A common engine on pull type combines such as Case was the air cooled Wisconsin V4. They ran a mag and were hand cranked only. Didn't dare shut it off hot. Remember Dad cranking and cranking (and cussing). Couldn't wait for it to cool down, had to keep going. Later had an Oliver 535 with the 265 Chrysler flathead six. Ran a good many years doing two farms. The next bigger model had 318 Chrysler V8's with dual straight pipes-neat sound! Early Dearborn (Ford) combines used the 8N tractor engine.
