The very popular 525 model, this fairly complete machine one of many thousands of models built at Kilmarnock sits and awaits her fate, The French built predecessor 530 directly sat behind.

Looking back on this line of combines, note the good condition of the rear hood and bodywork of this 525 obviously stored
undercover during its working life.
A few Brantford built 750 and 800 series that have been picked of spares, lurking in the bushes.

A collection of Brantford built Combines minus their V8 engines, accompanied by two European models alongside, the 665 is quite a rare model now in the UK

The bright silver paintwork in contrast to the dull faded red and mother natures relentless green carpet encompassing these past giants.
A rare piece of yellow can be found in the shape of a New Holland Table (header) at the rear of this picture.

This 1982 registered 755 looks like she's been here a while judging by the faded paintwork, her straw chopper still attached waiting for another crop to chop that will never come now.

The Union Jack emblem proudly displayed on this 865.

At the mercy of Mother Nature now, from her home in Brantford Canada to a quiet peaceful spot in rural England its journey now at an end.

A well known Massey dealers badge who sold many Massey badged models even up to this day!

Another well known name from the past ! The Ben Turner group , who sold a lot of Massey Combines.

Another 525, note the grain tank extension kit and the tank feed cross auger raised to accommodate extra capacity.
This machine has had several parts stripped notably the A6 engine this would no doubt come out straight away very popular engine and being on a combine it would be unlikely to of accumulated more than a couple of thousand hours.
Note the hydraulic pump still attached to the pipework a usefull spare to have in your parts box!

A not so common sight now in any combine breakers this 1970/71 possibly a 510 it's pink paintwork a result of fading and the primer coat colour used! .
The high price of scrap just a few years ago meant that most breakers cleared many machines out to take full advantage of the contents of their yard rather than await for the rare visit from a user of that model who needed parts

Another 525 but this picture shows the operators platform and interestingly the hand rail has the later type extension added which means it was a late model build at Kilmarnock, this was brought in to satisfy Health and Safety regulations at that time? Obviously they didn't consider the dust as a problem!
Interestingly these handrails had caused a few accidents while folding the steps in the end bar near the gear selector was found to push the selector in gear under certain circumstances! Causing a few accidents, until engineers rectified the bar angle.

This Marquette built 565 was the later model which followed on fromo the 525 625 that ended with the closure of the Kilmarnock factory.
Sitting alongside a New Holland.

The French built 845, not one of the best models and pretty scarce to find now, the paintwork on this model looks pretty good still

Looking up an avenue of Canadian built models, with a Kilmarnock built model second right squeezed in between.

This 865 looks like a recent arrival! And looks fairly complete.

Mother natures relentless cycle gradually consumes these onece proud frontline machines.

Precious spare parts being stripped from this 865 to keep other combines in action! Parts can end up anywhere in the World!
