Dear Board,
I have always been fascinated by the Super 92 Combine. They always looked so streamlined and ahead of their time. What were the pros and cons of these machines? How would they compare capacity wise with a Square back J.D. 95? Is it hard to find one in good condition today? I would appreciate any information about these machines.

A custom combiner that has been in the business for many years running more than 20 machines each year told me that the super 92's were the machines that he liked the best and made the most money with. The 2005 JD caused the most lost time with their bad engines.

Hi, These combines were designed so they could be hauled on a truck bed and still be low enough to get under most bridges. They had Chrysler Industrial 6 cylinder engines. The engine was under where the operator sat, the oil pan was about a foot off the ground. The engine was in the worst location for getting any air, but they had a rather elaborate screen and radiator along side of the combine.

I didn't realize this till the other day when I stopped to visit with a guy that had what I believe to be a super 92. This machine looked almost exactly like the earlier model, but had a slant 6 chrysler mounted near the top of the machine. The engine compartment was fully enclosed. I wanted to buy the generator off it.
He told me the only way I was going to get the generator was if I bought the whole combine!

In there day, they were considered quite a combine.

The Super 92 continued the "under the cylinder" engine mounting of the 92. Some had a Perkins Diesel under there!

The walker area on the Super 92 was "flared out" a few inches on each side, and the "shoe" that carried the sieves was made differently. That was the major differences between the 92 and the Super 92.

The engine was moved up top with the advent of the "410" and "510" models.

One correction... the engine was under the main part of the combine... under the cylinder... well to the right of the operator. The variable drive operating mechanism, unloader drive, and hydraulic pump were under the operator

The main drive off of the "back" of the engine was under the "console" at the operator's right hand. When the traction belt grabbed a kernel of wheat, and flung it upward just right, and it hit your hand, while it was on the variable drive control lever, it REALLY stung!

And that's todays bit of Massey 92 trivia.

I began operating a 92 when I was 9 or 10 years old, but even years before, I liked combines. Here's me "tuning up" my Uncle's Super 27 when a was a real little shaver: Third Party Image

My FAVORITE Massey, the last one I owned, was a 760.

Here's a photo of my B-I-L combining sunflowers with it:
