Is there anything special that I may need to know before attempting to replace the pegs and pin in a NI 310 picker? I have it apart and am waiting on the parts to come in this week. Thanks

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

There was a total of 20 Behlen Round Wire Cribs, 17 ea. X 20 foot, and 3 ea. X 10 ft. Four of the 20 ft cribs are not shown, and none of the wooden cribs are shown

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...

Hello.. I just purchased an older Oliver No. 5 Single row corn picker... I have been told that by placing a sheet of tin or metal over the husking bed they will pick corn without removing the husks, which is my desire. I never used a corn picker before and know very little about them. My question is? Has any...

Why did some people prefer barge box wagons over flare box wagons, and vice versa? Also, I have seen pictures of barge boxes with very low sides, and maybe 8-9 foot wide by 14-16 feet long

Has anyone done it? Thinking of setting up a hopper bottom bin with an air tube and a fan for next year. Ran out of room this year, and had some issues with a crib. Trying to set up something that will make it easier to handle ear corn to run it through the mixer.

Howdy, any interest in a stand alone 318 grinder or it can be put back on the picker. I have been using it to grind ear corn and I need to get a grinder/mixer, too many grains and additives to mix by hand after grinding the corn, also have a parts machine Thanks Larry

Ran across this No.10 sheller last week literally hanging in the shed where it was last taken off. Has probably been there since the late 60s early 70s. Long story short I hope to pick it up before the weekend. Hope to have it operating for next fall on my 64 2MH. There's not much literature on the No.10s or...

I bought this old Hardy hay and train elevator off C-list for $100. After working on it some I decided it needed some paint, not a restoration quality job, but I looked up an old brochure on one, and they looked to be red and grey so I went with that, and did more of a user type brush on paint job. A trip to the el...

Has anyone sped up the elevator on their New Idea pickers? I have a 324 with the 327 husking bed and were wanting to throw the ears a bit farther. The parts book doesn't show anything. Thanks Jim

Checked my corn with the floating in water test and it's not quite dry enough yet. Thought I'd check in with you all. I'm sure chomping at the bit to try out the 323!

I thought I would show and tell some about my corn crib. The crib has been on our farm since horse and wagon days of corn picking. I found in the concrete, that the steps were added in 1963 probably to keep in from falling over, as the pillars were not on a footing, just in the ground about 6 inches. And they we...

I thought I'd start a new thread about getting my corn picker home, in hopes it might help some others. Last week I found a corn picker for a good price on Craigslist, the only problem was it was about 75 miles away by interstate. I had looked long enough to know it was a decent picker for a really good price....
