325 picker with sheller (I forgot that model number, sorry) sold at a consignment sale for 1600 dollars. It looked fairly good on the outside but I did not check out the innards as the morning was bitter and blowing. I did not come to collect or I might have been tempted. I hope the price reflected the...

I have a New Idea 319 gathering unit. It came equipped with New Idea hydraulic cylinders. The cylinders have a vent plug in one end for one way operation. Pressure to raise the unit. Does anyone know if you can remove the vent and add a second hydraulic hose for two way hydraulic operation?

Hi all. This summer I got a New Idea 326 corn picker at a local auction for $400. For that price I figured it was worth playing around with.

I was at a customer's farm yesterday and saw a 237 in his shed. He said he hasn't used it in a number of years. They had it on a 4010 and a 70. He said he would sell it if someone would give it a new home. Located in northeast Iowa near Waucoma. Jim
