DESCRIPTON

I know there was some mix up the last time I made a Ford combine so if you need proof they exsist here is a pic (https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=4R2Mv8ST&id=C0BA09DD27609BDF3DAA90A8B5197C433A18FC07&thid=OIP.4R2Mv8STdTSByt_jWAHi8wHaFj&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fth.bing.com%2fth%2fid%2fR.e11d8cbfc493753481cadfe35801e2f3%3frik%3dB%252fwYOkN8GbWokA%26riu%3dhttp%253a%252f%252fwww.tractorshed.com%252fgallery%252fiphotos%252fi5390.jpg%26ehk%3d76BCGo18AZBxL0vcfb4GYnH7GKnO0ijgUKJByDlkF%252bU%253d%26risl%3d%26pid%3dImgRaw%26r%3d0&exph=258&expw=344&q=ford+622&simid=608005543550152452&FORM=IRPRST&ck=271DDDE539B5E75900AB361B3F9588C5&selectedIndex=7&ajaxhist=0&ajaxserp=0)
and here is a brief history on the machine.
In the early 1970’s Ford contracted with Claas to build two combines. These blue combines were the 622 and the 642. These combines would have competed against the John Deere New Generation combines like the 3300 and 6600, International 315 and 815, Gleaner E and M.

Ford had an 11 page brochure on the 642 and 622. This is a nice piece showing the combines in corn and sorghum. It of course also shows the combines unloading grain into Ford trucks. In the later 1970's the 622 combine was dropped and only the 642 was offered. The late 70's Ford 642 remained unchanged expect for the engine. The Ford V-8 was replaced by a 380 cu. in 127 hp Ford 6-cyl. engine. Ford offered a piece of literature on the later 642 that features the combine in winter wheat on the cover.
