1970's Massey Ferguson 16mm film about the new 750 and 760 combines and their new features. Show's Art and Harry Howard custom combiners from Warren Minnesota. Art was inducted into the Custom Harvesters Inc. Hall of Fame in 2013. This is a better quality version of the film. In 1944 Art Howard purchased a 21c Massey Harris
combine from a dealer in Oklahoma he had never met. He did this under the promise he would custom harvest grain for farmers during the wartime years. Once his brother came back from the war they started a dealership with each other in their hometown of Warren MN. They did this to get a
cheaper price on their combines and have better parts availability. They custom combined from Texas to Warren every year for 29 years. Many shots on this film were filmed in their farm west of Warren MN. This film restoration was sponsored by Don Leslie. You can see a more in depth story on them at the Marshal County Historical Society in Warren MN.
