I have a Farmall regular that belonged to my Dad. I have the two row picker that used to be on the tractor. It also has the husking bed, I was wondering if ayone might know the model No. of the picker?
VERY collectable pair you have there!!! Do you have any pictures? Hang on to those babies!!!! I'm guessing a 2-M, was/is the picker galvanized or painted? I'm trying to remember the one before the 2-M... I don't have any of my books in front of me.
Thank you for the replies, I will try and get some pictures if I can figure out how to post them. The No. 20 sounds kind of familiar , it seems as if there was the letter B maybe in the model No. I now it is not a 2M model. There is shield that covers the snappingl rolls, that is where I used to ride when my Dad was picking corn. I suppose they would put you in jail for riding there now.
150 years of harvestor book shows pic of the No 20 mtd picker, it says that it popularized the trend to mechanical corn harvesting. Built from 1931 to 1936. It was available in regular or low corn styles. Harvestor followed the #20 with a #22 built in 1936 & 1937. The improved #22B was available in 1937 & 1938. The 2-M was built 1939 to 1952 ( perfect match for the Farmall M)
I would think the power requirement for a 2-row picker would really put the ponies to that little old Regular... what were they? F-20 sized or so in horsepower? That 22-B sounds like it might fit the bill....
