My New Idea #7, I think a 1950 at the Sept 26th sale .
Moved out ready to move home , after getting one newer tire. After alot of oil, grease, chain repair, a salvaged idler from a parts MH SP Picker and some tlc.
It picked some Nov. 15th. Still needs more parts and TLC! My first experience with a pull type , I've run different mounteds and self propelled pickers and combines. Don

An IH tractor, pulling a New Idea picker, filling a John Deere wagon - nice! Where did you find the wagon, complete with factory tip-top extensions? Does it have a John Deere hoist under is as well? And the picker - it looks really good now considering where it was when you found it!
I've got the same picker, looks good. Doesn't look like it's shelling too badly like mine is. I noticed the guy I got mine from ran a weld up the snapping rollers-- a common practice form what I understand if they're a bit worn out. The problem is that it seems to tend to shell a lot more on me. Yours welded at all? Kurt
Thank you. The tractor is a 1529 Massey Furguson . The JD wagon is a 1065 with 7X12 Hieder mfg for John Deere box and a Midwest hoist. I bought the wagon used in the 1980's in Mt. Pleasant , when I was growing seed corn and we were still picking it with Uni's. The # 7 didn't seem to shell too bad , the snapping rolls have been welded on. Don
That's a 7 x 12 "Mfg for John Deere Co." box? Take good care of that - you don't see very many 7 foot boxes like that! Most of them are 6 foot boxes.
And did Heider make boxes for John Deere also? I have a brochure and price list for these wagons and it says "Manufactured by Giant Mfg. Co. of Council Bluffs, IA" on this literature. Then I have another brochure that looks exactly like the first one except it doesn't say anything on it about Giant Mfg.Co. Did Heider buy out Giant Mfg. somewhere along the line?
i has to go look at one of these this fall, i have one but could use parts. you are missing a flap at the top of the elevator.will have to see if it has one.
