This was sitting a long the road where I have some pasture rented and I had the camera with me so I took some pictures. I don't know anything about it other than it's Ford and the man was working on the tractor. Any Ford guys out there that know what no. picker this is?
If I had to guess I would say a Ford 602 but I really don't know Fords. I would put the time frame in the very early 60's. In the early to mid 60's they went to blue paint.
I know the tractor is a 4000 that was on the hood of the tractor, you can't see it in the picture. I didn't see anything on the picker and didn't get real nosey, looking for s/n tag.
that is an older dearborn version from the red paint showing thru.Mine is the same except ona wd45 allis chalmersFrom what i have heard they were the best picker of the 50s and i think new idea modeled their super pickers after them.I cant wait to get to use mine. I never got to use a mounted picker.
