THE AXIAL-FLOW COMBINE

It took 15 years and a million man hours to design , build and test but in
 1977 International Harvester introduced the 1440, 1460, 1480, and later
 the 1420 Axial-Flow combines series. The Axial-Flow System featured a single
 in-line rotor with impeller on the front rotor and a stationary rotor
 housing with concaves and separating grates. This simple system the
 cylinder, rear beater and straw walkers of the IH 15 series conventional
 combines. Ertl sold a Blue Print Replica 1/32 Axial flow toy and two
 versions of a 1/80 model. The first 1/80 model had a corn head only and a
 later revised edition had interchangeable heads.

The 1977 and 1978 Axial Flow Combines continued to use the 810 grain header series used on the late 15 series combines.  In 1979 the 820 series headers were introduced.
