You could even have a cab with AC. Frank C.

Besides the diesel engine there's a lot of goodies on combines like the variable pulley drive that can be utilized for a lot of things .

If you weren't going to rob the engine they make dandy  snow plows .

   Looks good! I also like Bandmillers idea of using the cab for AC, or would it be heat up there?
   As others have mentioned, don't forget to save the main hydraulic pump, reel drive pump, variable valve, and the spool valves. There are more good parts on those salvage combines than I can even think of uses for!
