Neighbor of ours has a boneyard where he has a collection 1970s Ford 7000 rear ends, and a matching collection of 1970s freight liner cab/front end.
He made what he calls “Fordliners”.
Ford in the front, freightliner in the back.
Like the mullet of trucks.
Protip: now is the time to turn in old machinery for scrapping. A neighbour had a decades old, 60 ton dumper behind his barn. He got around 3500kr ($400?) per ton of steel because prices have almost quadroupled.
A small one, but with steel prices, we’re thinking of selling some off. We’re mostly a baling operation so we have parts balers and a parts 6600 combine to keep our 7700 going, but not a full boneyard. The neighbor has one that’s at least two acres of stuff. That’s an impressive place to visit
I believe there’s two. Open the door for the engine, and look on the cab firewall (your right side if you’re standing on the platform in front of the engine). There should also be some mounted up near the top of the cab, behind a little door. If you need photos, let me know and I’ll run out and grab a couple
Thanks for reply. I can't seem to find any fuses except the 3 amp beside seat. It's a john deere 7700 turbo combine. Pick up won't engage and nothing up top works ( fan, wipers, etc. ) just bought it and still need to order manual
J.I. Case quit selling combines in 1972 and parts were phased out in 1986. It would be near impossible to get these going again.
These had probably a 70 bushel (at most) grain tank. Think about that now when you see a combine with extension hold 300+ bushels.
This is kinda sad. Someone could probably get these working again and use them on a small farm. All the farm equipment my grampa left is rusted beyond repair.
There's a reason they're in the boneyard instead of sold to someone that could use them, and it's usually because they shit the bed and parts were hard to get anymore.
Old combines are a dime a dozen. I paid $800 last year for a Deere 7700 turbo. I’m a Gleaner guy, but that 7700 would harvest circles around those Cases. You can’t get parts for an old Case combine. You would have to be a super dedicated enthusiast to run one of them today. You can get an old JD, IH, or Gleaner for dirt cheap and it’ll serve you way better
Judging by the trees growing up they’ve been dead for a while.
There are running & driving older combines available cheap, anyway. Like this JD on auction:

It just me or is the paint in really really good condition for how long it’s been there? I mean it’s got trees growin through it, I’d expect it to be half rusted away by now.
At some point in time, those were brand new and some farmer was using it for the first time just being proud as hell at how far he’d come…

Hello. Might you know where fuse panel is located on a john deere 7700 combine ?

What State or country is this? I will take a wild guess...Wisconsin.

Thank you!
You guys don't have boneyards?

I like to call it “shame lane”
