IH 1PR snapping rolls
(Preview)
I have an IH 1PR and I get more shelling at the snapping rolls than I think there should be. Is there somewhere that rebuilt or even new snapping rolls can be bought? Is there something that I could do myself to help make the rolls work better? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim

2MH on 706/806
(Preview)
Does anyone have pictures of a 2MH on a 706 or 806? I think I've seen a picture in the parts book but not sure. I have brackets so hopefully I can find a 7 or 8 to put the 2MH I just bought on. Any body else have these brackets??? I will try to get some pictures uploaded sometime after I get everything sorted out...

restoring my John Deere Co. Barge Box

Here are some pics of my late winter/early spring shop project. I bought this wagon 5-6 years ago and disassembled the sides from the bed almost right away after I purchased it. I parked it in my shed with the sides and ends piled up on the bed, thinking I would get to it later that year. Well, we all know how...

Dan Robinson you got me thinkingwhat do any of you do to your corn pickers to keep them clean and shiny?

I have used a leaf blower to d...

I own a 2MH

I went to the Red Power Roundup in Union Grove, WI and while there rode up to Manawa, WI to pick up my 2MH. Found it on Facebook back this winter. It's been outside for about a year but looks to be sound. It's missing a few small parts, but overall it looks good! It's going to be a long term project, as of no...

New idea 708 air conditioning problems

Looking for some advise on checking the air in my 708 Uni. Just got it today and checked everything over and the only thing not functioning is the air. It came from Iowa so air wasn't that important but down here in South Carolina we have to have it. I cleaned the filter for the a/c and replaced it but I'm not...

Our old 237

I was travelling thru S.W. Ia today(with a camera) and came by where our 237 picker ended up so I took a couple pics. I still remember getting off the bus the day it was delivered and seeing it sitting in the yard for the first time. Looks a little sad now...

My new wagon
(Preview)
Picked up this wagon at an auction last week. Didn't really need it, but the price was right. Has anyone else ever seen plywood sides on a wagon like this? This is the first one I have ever run across. Usually they are tongue and groove boards. If it HAS been rebuilt, then whoever did it did a darn good job! H...

Redneck corn crib
(Preview)
Call me crazy, but I just had an idea for a corn crib. I think I know where I can buy an old cotton wagon that has the wire cage sides on it. It also has tandem axles front and rear. This about a 35' long by 8' wide rig. It seems to me if a man made a roof for it, and put some vertical supports toward the middle of the w...

Snow Fence cribs

I remember some of you had some discussion on snow fence cribs a while ago. Found this pic again finally. It was taken in the early 60's I think. My grandpa owned the farm at the time and now my parents live there and also where I grew up. Not a whole lot has changed since then, both barns are there and there...

Mounting the IH 2ME Corn Picker (How To)

I have decided to do a few "How To's" on mounting IH corn pickers. I am doing these to hopefully help someone who has a picker but does not know how to mount/unmount a corn picker. I will start with the 2ME, work my way to the 2MH and then finally the mighty 234! Mounting or Unmounting works the very best on ha...

I have a 2MH manual in my collection, it says a 2MH is 18' long without the elevator. I have an 18' car hauler type trailer that is 16' long with a 2...

Here's the first brochure of the new year - a New Idea No. 10 One-Row Corn Picker. I didn't notice this until I scanned it in - this picker was available as either a pull-type or a semi-mounted picker. Has anyone ever seen one of these as a semi-mounted model? -- Edited by jdtom on Monday 4th of January 2010...
