Wanted to share my video of our picker. Took 3 gallon of paint and several hours to get it looking that good. Worked like a charm. Looking for a sheller if anyone has any info on one. Here's the address

This is the first year we got it going. Only picked about 120 bushel to grind for some cattle feed. Would like to pick more but need to do some work making more storage space. Dad ran an older 2 row on a 960 for the ford dealer he worked for when they did some custom picking in the late 60s so it is awesome to be doing the same thing all these years later. Have a great time restoring this old equipment with my dad.
I had one just like it after I got home from the Marine Corps in the early 1970's. Dad had one on a 4000 Ford at the same time, we picked a lot of popcorn with them because you could place rubber snapping roller section on tops of rollers that did not damage the popcorn as bad as the metal ones. Thanks for the video, I shared it with my grandson, he thought it was super(he's 7 years old)
