Hey there folks. My name is Travis Friend. Im here for a friend of mine that is a small farmer is south Dakota. I rebuilt his 750 grain drill and made her plant better then she ever did before. While in the middle of the build on a parts run the truck I just purchased motor blew up on the way back to the farm. Well long story short Ed came and towed my truck back to the farm. In the pooring rain! Let me stay in his home . Fed me and treated me like family. Not to mention helped me find some guys real handy at working on 6.0 ford diesel motors and transmissions!!!!
Ed still picks his corn with an old 839 new idea picker. The big fan in this thing shredded to pieces and hes not been able to track down a replacement for it. Still has a hell of a lot of corn to be picked! Any body out there Know where I can find this part. Id be much abliged if someone can lead me to this part. Id like to get it for him. At the very least show the man my appreciation for all the help he give me. If there is someone out there that reads this and knows of something please give me a call or send a text anytime day or night. My number is 402-469-8017. The name is Travis Friend. Thanks and I hope to hear from someone soon!0
Check with Dee Implement in Waukon, Iowa. They used to have a TON of New Idea and Uni parts.
Years ago there was a large Uni dealer around Baraboo, Wisconsin - don't know if they are still around or not.
I would also venture a guess that if you are in the right place at the right time, you may be able to pick up a complete 839 for what they want for that fan...
