Name That Picker


About ten years ago an old friend gave me a very basic corn picker.  This year I finally got time to put it into working condition.  As you can see it is very basic just one long husking roller and fan into an auger to the elevator.  Leaves a lot of husks but, it sure is better than hand picking the three acres I raise for stove and chickens.  Does anyone know the make of this gym?  The only ID I can find is on the frame that connects the trailer (P3325).  All the locals I have talked to here are scratching their heads and the original owner has passed on.

My guess is an Allis Chalmers. They have a weird looking elevator like that one you have pictured

Cornfed Husker, you are right. It is an Allis Chalmers snapper picker. For some reason model 33 sticks in my head but I don't really know for sure.

Thanks Guys

Appreciate the input.  Allis Chalmers had been mentioned to me by one of the locals by the process of elimination but, it was just a guess.  Having a national forum really helps get a better idea about possible models etc.  In rebuilding gear boxes, ect. everything has been good old fashion American standard and easy to obtain.  That is why I like working on the old machinery.  

Thanks again

It is actually a model 35 the 33 was the mounted picker.
