Gleaner C2 Combine Parts

C2 parts and accessories

The Gleaner C2 combine, produced from 1970 to 1976, was known for its simplicity and reliability, powered by engines around 115 horsepower. Available with header widths up to 20 feet, the C2 featured a conventional separator. Its relatively straightforward design and ease of maintenance made it a favorite for smaller farms seeking a dependable grain harvesting solution.

The Gleaner C2 was introduced in 1970 and continued production through 1976, building on Gleaner's reputation for transverse-flow combines. It was typically powered by an Allis-Chalmers 2900 6-cylinder gasoline or diesel engine, producing approximately 115 horsepower with a displacement of around 290 cubic inches (gas) or 301 cubic inches (diesel). The C2 utilized a conventional cylinder and concave separator system, featuring a 42-inch wide cylinder. Its grain tank capacity was approximately 100 bushels, with an unloading auger capable of emptying at a rate of around 40 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged up to 20 feet, and chopper/spreader options were offered to manage residue. The cab offered basic operator comfort for the time. The Gleaner C2 was particularly well-suited for harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn in smaller to medium-sized fields.
