I finally found out why the rollers that I had found on the net had a different part number. My NI 310 is Lot 203 and the rolls for sale the lot number for the 310 picker is 272. I didn't buy them because of this although I might could have used two of them but didn't want to take the risk. None of them that are for sale had the longer end that the drive hooks to. Learning curve for me!

We all appreciate your sharing your path to figuring this out. Don't get discouraged by the lack of traffic--this is a slow time of the year for this forum. It seems we are all learning how to run these pickers through old manuals, skinned knuckles, and sharing what we know. Keep at it, and keep posting.
I have a 310, and the rolls are about worn out. I don't pick a lot with it and it does ok for my use. I don't have any books for them, so not sure of part numbers. thanks; pucker dude
Another option might be to check with country machinery (see the post up top for contact info) and send your rollers to them to have new rubber put on. My picker goes over a lot of acres a year due to my volume of ear corn sales so I prefer to put new parts on or have stuff rebuilt to like new whenever possible instead of dealing with someone else's half worn out used parts. However, everybody's situation and budget is different, so whatever works best for you.
Thanks for the reply's. I have been doing business with Country Machinery for a few years now. Starting with a #7 NI that I have pretty much quit using since I traded for the 310. I will be sending the rolls to CM this summer. My corn field is ready to plant am waiting on my seed that I ordered. Where I live another couple of weeks want hurt. I have a manual on my 310 and think maybe one on the #7. First thing I do when I get a new "to me" piece of equipment.

Well I ended up ordering the rubber shucker rings from Country Machinery. They don't charge a lot for rebuilding the rolls but by the time they are shipped both ways it starts getting a little pricey. I opted to do the job myself . It took a little while but finally came up with a simple way to remove the old and replace with new. Only two more to go!

Got all the husking rings on and put a couple of husking pins and pegs. Made the wood husking pegs myself and save a lot of money. I only need to make sure all grease fittings have had grease put through them and hook it to the tractor to make sure everything runs. I will be picking in the next couple of weeks. I sell most of the corn for deer bait and have already had several orders.
Anyone wanting information or how to fix something let me know I will try my best.
