Gleaner K

The Gleaner K was still an improved version of the smallest E-model in the lineup. The Allis-Chalmers engine had apparently been replaced, likely for cost reasons, with a slightly more powerful GM 6-cylinder gasoline engine. A diesel engine was no longer an option. As an accessory, one could get a header that automatically followed the contour of the field surface, hydraulic height adjustment for the unloading auger, and hydrostatic steering to replace the unassisted steering.

Over 20,000 units of the K-model were produced, but by the time the K2 was manufactured between 1977 and 1981, demand for small combines had already weakened significantly. The K2 once again offered the Allis-Chalmers 4-cylinder diesel (72 hp) as an optional accessory. The sieving area and grain tank were slightly larger than before.
