I can kind of understand what your long day was all about. I bought and brought home a 234 mounted picker that was tucked away in the corner of a shed with a dirt floor since 1976.  We were able to pull it out far enough with a tractor and loader and then split it to load it onto the trailer. Lots of work and head scratching but we got everything home and put back together in my dad's shed. If it were a perfect world, I would have had a 560 to mount it to and drive it onto the trailer to bring home. Heck, perfect world....mount it and drive it home, and not make the three hour tour out and the three hours back. But I guess that's what adds to the spice of life!! In a way, I don't know if I would have wanted it any other way!

One set will likely be for parts.  The one picker could be made into a user but it has some "war wounds" on it and has already had a few parts robbed off of it.  Same way with the sheller.  I think I can take the two and make a really nice picker and sheller.  I am planning on using my 620 and 227 as a picker and set up the 237 with the sheller (and a not yet purchased New Generation tractor to put it on).  The good picker is a later model with a serial number of 8783.  It has a two-legged deer trademark on the front and also the "237" model number is solid yellow and does not have a stripe on it.  It has the grease banks on top of the husking bed instead of inside.  It had been run on a 2520 (couldn't get that one bought).  I also got several sets of side screens along with the two pickers.  Only thing I don't have is a set of engine screens for a six-cylinder New Generation tractor that I hope to put this picker on.  Perhaps some trading could be worked out.  Mike
