Finally got off my butt and went to pickup the corn picker I got for $150. Toughest thing I have loaded on my truck to date. Took every bit of my 12 foot bed and was at 13'6" tall on the elevator. I love the looks I get from the can't do people and nay sayer people. Didn't get as many looks as the tractor ti...

I came across this photo doing a random google search. It's a 1951 CJ3a "farm jeep" pulling a corn picker near bowling green ohio. I'll post the link if anyone wants to look at the history of the farm jeep. http://www.cj3a.info/cj3a/farmjeep/fj.html

I am the proud owner of a B2 Sheller. Pretty good shape, but in need of a few parts. B2's are bigger than E's and 1200's and most of the parts are not interchangeable. Anyone on here have B2 parts? I am in need of the cleaning fan drive sprocket and parts for the clean grain elevator.

Does anyone know what year this Blizzard chopper is? I am guessing late 1800 or very early 1900.

Hi all. This summer I got a New Idea 326 corn picker at a local auction for $400. For that price I figured it was worth playing around with. Now that I have some free time, I've been working on getting it going. All the parts seem to be there and it seems to be in pretty good shape, but I think it sat outside...

I was at a customer's farm yesterday and saw a 237 in his shed. He said he hasn't used it in a number of years. They had it on a 4010 and a 70. He said he would sell it if someone would give it a new home. Located in northeast Iowa near Waucoma. Jim
