Sorry, wrong combine. This is the Targa Florio combine that Fangio
drove. My sources relate that the LeMans combine burned shortly
after it brought in the crop... an accident in the pole barn...
The stir was in the Alfa pit... It seems Fangio thought that
"Alfa" was an Italian diminutiev term for alfalfa.
