I found this on Craigslist, while visiting family in western New York. The previous owner had taken off his dads 520 JD, and was going to scrap it if it didn't sell. And I couldn't let that happen. He said it had always been under cover. It looks to be well taken care of. Now all I have to do is haul it 1200 mil...

Has anyone heard of a JD 227 corn picker being mounted on a Allis Chalmers D17? I have an opportunity to buy one but I would have to mount it on my D17. It would be a long drive to get it for no reason if I can't use it.

On Highway 15. The perforations tell me that they started life as cribs, the fans installed at the end of the troughs tell me that they have been converted to shelled corn/bean storage. -- Edited by Art From De Leon on Sunday 6th of July 2014 04:18:29 PM

Hi, the farm I grew up on and live today had a double corn crib that was constructed totally in steel and I'm wondering if any of you have ever seen one like it? I have pictures of it, but can't figure out how to post them from the computer I'm using now. The story goes that my Great-Grandfather saw a display a...

Got another 237 brought home today. I've had trouble getting my first one to turn freely. I was told my first one had only sat outside about a year but it was probably longer because all the gathering chains and first elevator chains are froze up pretty stiff. So I went to look at another one and ended up...

Do I really want to attempt this? That thought was foremost on my mind as I sat at my worktable and looked at a SpecCast 400 to my right, and to my left, the Ertl Precision New Idea picker, recently removed from its A-C D-17 power source. New Idea touted the sub-frame as universal, for the most part, so I fig...

Shelling out the corn crib in June of 2012 with my 1950 M Diesel on the sheller, 1942 H on the cob wagon, and my dad's 1963 560 diesel pulling loads. The sheller is a MM E. This was the second time we have filled the crib. I believe the corn crib was put up in 1914.

Does anyone have an idea what an Oliver Model 4 corn picker is worth? The last time it was put in the barn, it worked well. However, that has been a few years. It is mostly in good shape. A fellow farmer wants this to refurbish and use to tinker with on future harvest. Any thoughts are helpful!

This may have already been discussed but is there a way to look up the serial number on your picker (JD 237) and find out what year it was made?
