Anyone have a good idea for painting the galvanized metal on a new idea picker? I'm aware of the cold galvanized spray cans, like rustoleum, I was looking for something that came by the quart or gallon and could be brushed on or sprayed. Any advice on brands or tips on brushing or spraying, I'd love to her...

Hi, I've been reading on your forum for a while and have some corn growing so decided to finally join your corn picker community. I raise goats and sheep, on a farm in WV. We also raise some meat chickens and hogs to butcher for our own family use. About a year ago I had some extra hay that I traded for a grinde...

Hi, I just agreed to purchase my family's 237 picker that we got new when I was a kid. It's pretty much all there & decent shape for being outside. I have a couple of questions: First, it is approx 30+ miles away & I really don't have a tractor ready to mount it on. What is the best way to get it loaded...

Does anyone know where I can find a good elevator and bed blower for my 323 around northwest Indiana?

My 323 one row picker shells way too much corn. Some of the fingers on the rubber wheels are broke off, would this cause the shelling or contribute to it? If so, where can I pick up these finger wheels? Thanks for your help.

I couldn't make it but several friends went. Couple mounted pickers on display. A nice original Super M with 2 M-E picker, ready to go to the field with M&W Super Snoot.

A fellow not far from me has a 226 picker that has not seen the light of day for more than 30 years. He told me it is the back corner of their barn and he is interested in getting it out of there. He asked if I might be interested, so I think I might go check it out. Were these primarily used on A and B tractors? He ha...

Does anyone know when IH stopped making the 1-PR corn picker? My parts book says they began in 1951 but it doesn't say when they quit. Is there any kind of serial number list out there for these? We have one out at Farmamerica, serial no. 28559 and were hoping to find out how old it was. The elevator going in...
