mini combine
We used pull type John Deere combines on our farm. An uncle that we farmed with had a pull type Allis Chalmers. All of them worked well until they were eventually replaced.
I don't know if you can get parts for the AC now, so I would look for a JD. As Art said, they are cheap. You may have to do a bit of work to refurbish one, but after you clean the wasp's nests and racoons out of it, it will probably work fine with a little grease and perhaps some new V-Belts.
We replaced all of our pull type combines in the 1960s with a self propelled combine.

Art would probably be able to pull the type of auction where you will see lots of this old stuff. There was just one here at the Cortland County fairgrounds. horses, old buggies, wagons, implements really to many to mention. An old McMormack 45 baler went for $25 a hobby farmer bought it. That was a highlight that my friend remembered.
Parts are an issue but once you get bitten by the old bug there is a tremendous amount of info avaiable and parts galore. Parts are pricey.
ACZ50 you forgot to mention all of the canvas conveyor belting with wooden slats... Not picking, just remembering from the old canvas sewing kit I inherieted from my Dad and still use it on truck canvas.
If I wanted a combine I would not hesitate to go down this road. The AC's the kind we had seem to be the most popular in this part of the country.

You are right about the canvas on the Allis Chalmers. I had forgotten about that. I don't remember for sure on the JD, but I don't remember a canvas conveyor on them. I think that it was more of a steel chain with metal slats moving up a steel pan, but it has been a very long time.
By the time I was old enough to operate the equipment, we were using a Self Propelled Allis Chalmers Gleaner combine. I really like that machine.

Peters I wish I'd paid closer attention, but the one's I've seen in my area apeared to have been made by Gleaner with the galvinized look. Here in central Mo. we have a lot of seed companys that do a lot of small test plots, an I've seen these little combines being hauled on a 16'car trailer. Were in the middle of harvest around here I see one runing I stop an gather some info. Getrdun

A couple of years ago we had a real sharp IH 82 in trade tht was always stored inside. I knew the combine for many years and it was ready to go. THey were better then the early ones as they used an auger to work the header instead of the canvass. Looked like a 10 for original unrestored and had trouble getting 2000 for it. Just a small market for them. These combines on the level will run with a 30pto horsepower tractor on level ground.
