Neighbor up the road has a nice 237 picker that came off a 60. I've reasearched and found they used a universal mounting bracket. Will it mount on a WD 45? I've mounted pickers before so I know it's work I just didn't know if it was possible .

I removed an Ertl Precision New Idea picker from the A-C D 17 and mounted it on a Precision 706 that had been converted to narrow front. The major rework was modifying the axle brackets and replacing the paddles above the husking rolls with the usually-seen flexi-fingers. I got the finger wheels and op...

Picked up the next piece of the collection before Thanksgiving, found it from a post on Facebook. Multi-Purpose Grinder unit for a 234 picker. They are pretty hard to find in my opinion. Its going to need a good going thru before fall but planning to try it out on dads 1206. Bring Multipurpose, this unit...

I've been under the weather for the last week or so which has given me more time to catch up on my reading. I've been working through Bob and Phyllis's corn picker book and am about two-thirds of the way through it. Absolutely fascinating reading. Anyone got it done yet?

Got a question. 400 Farmall with NI 305 picker on it, currently not running. Going to help move it, been asked to help, not mine. Haven't seen it up close yet. Is there a way to elevate/jack picker up and lock it in when not running? I was thinking also that I saw one once with the front center snout removed...

Friend up the road has a 237 JD in good shape. What is the value of this picker ? How hard are they to mount on a 70 JD? Compared to other pickers how is their performance ?

After a spring flood, more rain than Ive ever seen all summer, relentless deer damage, and a 6 month long tractor repair on my 574 we finally started picking!

Hi folks, I noticed some winged bugs in the small pile of corn left in my corn crib afew few weeks ago when I ground feed. A neighbor said they were a type of weevil and since it was a wooden crib, I needed to spray for te bugs after I ground the last load of feed, before I start putting my new corn in. He said it ha...

I have told you about my corn picking habit in my previous posts. In a post on this board, there was a discussion about cribs. So I have shot some pictures of cribs in my neck of wood. All these cribs are near home and home is 35 miles east of Montreal, Quebec. As you will see, we built rectangular crib, usual...

Long post just so you know. I hitched my Wood Bros picker up to the DC Case,fired it up and everything ran except the wagon elevator. It seems the shaft on the rear that drives the elevator and the ear kickers above the husking rolls has lost whatever holds it tight on the slip clutch and it just pushes out t...

I think the Schnell Bros. have been mentioned on here in the past as participants in corn picking events. Looks like they are selling their collection, and some nice corn picker stock is on the bill, plus, a lot more! Just ran into the bill by chance http://lulichauction.com/detail.php?Id=103

I have a chance to buy a Gehl corn sheller for $1200. It is in excellent shape and has a drag on it so you can unload corn out of a wagon into it. Is anyone familiar with these ? Thanks for any thoughts/advice about this sheller. Lee

A friend of mine recently picked up a New Idea 6A picker. It appears to be basically the 2 row version of the No. 7. He originally bought it for parts, but it seems to be all there and in really good shape. I suggested that he might consider getting it running instead of parting it out. Just wondering if...

Hi Folks, Recently shipped a two row from Southern MN to the Canadian Border. Worked well. I was concerned being that the picker is 10.5'' wide and a 8'6" float. We used two fork lifts and stabalized the picker tongue with a chain to the one fork lift's mast. One forklift lifted by using its forks on...
