Gleaner Combine

I found this old Gleaner combine on a side road near Aylesford, Nova Scotia. From Wiki : The Gleaner Manufacturing Company was the name of a company which made the first self-propelled combine harvesters. They are best known for their production while part of Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company. Gleaning itself is the act of collecting leftover crops from farmers' fields after they have been commercially harvested or on fields where it is not economically profitable to harvest. There are a few around the valley rusting away in the fields. Click the picture to view a full size version of the combine.
