My late 1920's Sandwich six hole corn sheller. I bought the sheller out of Kansas almost ten years ago and cleaned it all up, and rebuilt the drag sections.

Does anyone have an idea what an Oliver Model 4 corn picker is worth? The last time it was put in the barn, it worked well. However, that has been a few years. It is mostly in good shape. A fellow farmer wants this to refurbish and use to tinker with on future harvest. Any thoughts are helpful!

This may have already been discussed but is there a way to look up the serial number on your picker (JD 237) and find out what year it was made?

Last Friday, October 18, some of you Iowans may have heard WHO radios Lee Kline mention a corn picking and plowing event occurring the next day near Collins. It would be the third annual.

Love the forum, new member. Just purchased my first picker. New Idea 324 with 329 Super Sheller. Pulled it home behind my truck 300 miles. Used 2 come alongs to tighten it down to tongue and wired the snoots up as high off the ground as possible. Got it all turning with a crow bar.
