I want to remove the huskers on my 601 ford picker and use it to pick sweet corn. I Did this long ago (35 years ago) to a AC pull type with my uncle and cant remember if we had to do anything to it to make it work without the huskers, but it worked great. Has anyone done this with a mounted 601 and can you tell me w...

I've got a NI 323 picker that is missing what I call the "short gathering chain and front sprocket" on the left finger of the snoot. (Left referring to standing behind the picker looking forward) I called a bone yard and the guy I spoke to acted like he never heard of what I was talking about....

Hey guys I was wandering what time of day do you normally start picking corn. I got a picker and 329 super sheller and I think the earliest I started was 9am. I would like to start at 5 or 6 am but I know someone told me you got to watch cause the morning dew that you may have trouble picking. I just wande...

Does anyone know why we have some ears of corn growing out of the tassles and on top of the corn stalks? The ears have no husks. We have a sweet corn patch nearby. Did the field corn cross polinate? Thanks for a reply

My son recently purchased what we believe is a Walsh Flair Box wagon. It has a manual hydraulic jack type hoist. The name Walsh was cast on the jack. We are unsure how this hoist works. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached some photos. Thank you.

I guess it must be my lucky day. I got a call about another mounted picker and went to look at it, turns out I had seen it before. It's a JD 227 that has been shedded on a concrete floor, complete with a 50 sheller. It had been mounted on a late-styled "A" that a friend bought a few years back, the mou...

Hi, I've got a couple of questions about mounting a John Deere 237 on a Late A JD. We had one on a 3020 when I was growing up and I have a chance to buy a "long nose" 237 that has always been shedded and is only a couple miles away. Supposedly all the screens, 1,000rpm drive, etc. are with it for the 30...

Ok, looking for an alternative to the mounted picker idea. What would be the best picker for my Late-Styled John Deere "B"? Where I'm likely going to be using it is slightly hilly, not too steep but definitely sloping. I like the JD 101, but availability and practicality are kinda slim. Nev...

Looking for a operators manual for the 4B JD sheller. It was my great grandfathers and I dragged it out of the trees. It needs a bearing and some sheet metal repair but it looks salvagable. Thanks, Dave

I've been pickin' corn forever, but know nothing about shellers. I'm going to have to find a sheller, or some way to pick/shell on my farm.
