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...

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...

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...

Finally got the picker moved home. It's been sitting in a barn for 40 years but it turned with a pipe wrench fairly easy! Bought from the original owner who said he loved the picker and that it left very little corn behind. I got all of the brackets except the bell crank brackets and one of the ram brackets t...

I was loading corn today at a customers farm and spotted it sitting in the corner of his machine shed. Its been sitting for a long time. The picker is long gone. What are these worth?

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...

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've been looking at information on pickers. I expect to have to travel to find one and then haul it home. My question is how much trailer do I need to haul one? 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...

Other than the shape of the outside gatherers, the new "waffle-type" snapping rolls (which could be put on a 227), and going back to three gathering chains per row, instead of the two used on the 227) what were the other differences? I did like the built in step on the tire shields on the 237. ...

Just curious, when a 2MH picker is mounted on a M/Super M/400/450, how tall is the elevator sticking out the back? Is it better to remove it from the tractor before you haul it? Was wondering how folks haul their pickers to shows and so forth. Al
