Your best bet to find one at a reasonable price would be to watch for something like an Allis Chalmers "All Crop", or maybe a Deere 12A.....
Allis-Chalmers All Crop Harvester Page
Thanks FWJ, that's exactly what I was looking for. They've even got some parts support on that link. Nice!
The reason I'd prefer pull-type over self propelled is 1) slightly easier storage 2) LOTS more to maintain in an old self propelled.
While I'd prefer a JD just because I raised with JD, it looks like smart money is going to be on the AC All Crop series. They seem to be lots of them built and well liked which are both important when working with old machines.
I'll be looking on craigslist now that I know what to look for, thanks!
