Corn picker forum

Just wanted to say hello, I discovered this forum the other day. I live in eastern NC. There are not a huge number of pickers around, but a few. When I was growing up my great-uncle had a JD 100 (the one without the husking bed) that he ran with an Allis D-15 and I was always fascinated by it. I collect IH, my fa...

I finally got my Case 425 mounted to the 400. I did it a week ago Saturday, but haven't had any time to post it. Here is a few pictures of it.

Picked 2 wagon loads of corn with the 6000 this week and got some video. Picker worked great. The 6000 and the 12 roll husking bed is sure a big step up from the 961 and 8 roll bed. The field only averaged about 80 bushels but had spots that were probably 125+ and some low spots that was almost 0. Way too wet thi...

I have the chance to buy a NI two row mounted corn picker no. 319. It looks to be in good shape it has been stored inside for many years. There is also a husking bed and two shellers along with it. I have never mounted a picker on a tractor and if I bought it would like to put it on a farmall M. Does anyone have pict...

The Antique Harvest Days show scheduled for this weekend (October 24 and 25) is ON. As dry as it's been around here we could get an inch of rain and still have a show. Come see us! Mike

What are the wire cribs worth these days? 18 by 18 or 15 by 20, with and without roofs. I'm looking to buy some that's why I'm asking.

Here is our John Deere 18 corn picker. My dad wanted to buy this exact picker was it was brand new and a neighbor out the other ridge actually bought it before he did. It was the last one that dealer could get for the season. About 30 years later my dad bought it at his auction sale. It has never picked much cor...

Picked a few loads of corn for the first time in 3 years with the Avco New Idea. Late model picker with 12 roll husking bed. Pulling it with 1980 John Deere 4240 Quad-Range that just turned 7,000 hours and original paint that stills looks pretty good.

What is the easiest way to change the corn saver on a one row New Idea 323 corn picker? I took the bolts out of the old one and there is an angled piece of angle iron in the way.

Today was a good day to pick some ear corn. I visited my friend, Josh Golombeski, at his place to shoot some pictures of him picking ear corn with his Farmall Super M and NI 319 picker. I even took a turn and picked a load. There was some good corn in this field. The crib will fill up fast!!

Just curious at what moisture do you start pickin ear corn? I plan on doing a few acres this fall for the first time. Planning on filling a round wire crib and maybe keeping some on the wagons.

Would anyone know of mounting brackets for the 305 picker to fit a MM 670 Super.

I was wondering what you did to your IH 234 picker to make it run? Anything like what you did to the chains and gear boxes etc. Because I'm trying to bring back to life a Case 425 mounted picker. So any help would be great. Thank you.

grinder220 · grinder220

How are the gearboxes lubricated on a 305 picker? Is it just from the grease zerk or do they need to be taken apart and lubricated. I don't want to keep pumping grease in and blow the seals out. The manual doesn't give any information on this.
