Our group has a New Idea model 300 2 row picker. I plan to bring it home in the next few days and begin pulling out the husking rolls so we can take them to the gentleman in Iowa for rebuilding. Just wondering if anyone has ever done this, and how difficult a job it might be. I've never had one of these apart...

I was wondering what you did to your IH 234 picker to make it run? Anything like what you did to the chains and gear boxes etc. Because I'm trying to bring back to life a Case 425 mounted picker. So any help would be great. Thank you.

How are the gearboxes lubricated on a 305 picker? Is it just from the grease zerk or do they need to be taken apart and lubricated. I don't want to keep pumping grease in and blow the seals out. The manual doesn't give any information on this.
