We're located in southwestern PA and have a model 74-H mounted corn picker that hasn't been used in over 15 years. We don't have a need for it since we have a 2-row pull behind New Idea picker. It's going to end up in the scrapyard unless someone shows some interest. I know it's difficult to put a value on it...

Hi guys I thought I'd change the subject for a bit and ask a question about plate planters. Has anyone had trouble lately with the seed and plate planters? I use an ih 455? Planter and I went with morcorn seed this past year. I relied on my seed dealer to help me match up plates to seed. I wound up with alot of d...

I had planned to replace all the flaps on my elevator chain for a No. 7 New Idea picker. I found that the rivets have a step down shank. One dia. to go through the rubber and a smaller dia. to go through the link and rivet. Any one seen this type of rivet or know where I could find some?

Maybe I'm the only one who is interested in this, but several of you have posted pictures of your corn-picking outfits pulling wagons that are vintage of the corn picker era. I think it would be neat if you identified the wagons in your pictures as to brand (box, running gear and hoist) and approximat...

Here is a little bit of picking as I finished up before bad weather set in (high winds and heavy rain) here in Indiana on Nov. 13. Trying to get it in before it blew over.

Anybody know who made a crib that had bolt-together perforated-steel side panels? I saw one once, looked like the old, small 'government' grain bins except for the holes . . . . Also wondering who made a round crib that had vertical wood slats in the steel-framed panels? There used to be one right a...

If the ears don't blow off the wagon. Today: Partly sunny, with a high near 62. Windy, with a south wind 16 to 19 mph increasing to between 31 and 34 mph. Winds could gust as high as 45 mph.

I finally became an official corn picker owner today. I bought a 1-row New Idea from a friend of mine today. He thinks it is a #10, but I don't know. where would I look for a serial/model# tag if it is a #10? Thanks, Dale

Hi. This is the third year I picked corn with my one row New Idea. Not a lot of corn, between 1-3 acres per year. This year my stand of corn was less than optimal, wrong plates in the planter and a wet year. Anyhow, the picker is dropping A LOT of corn. The stalks go through the snapper rolls and roll righ...

Just a few shots of picking in 2011 with the Oliver #5. About 19% moisture. I'm going to rebuild the gathering chains and the area they run on. May use some of the HMWU material instead of the wood parts. Thanks for looking. Perry

Was wondering if the mount off of a 304 gathering unit would swap with a 319 and vice versa. I have a 319 with an M mount and I am trading a guy with a 304 and an oliver mount will it work? Thanks for the info.

pickerboy · pickerboy

I am still in search of the mounting brackets for a new idea 319 picker to an Oliver super 88. Pretty sure all oliver mounts are the same. Let me know if you have one of theese pickers mounted on an oliver. I would like to talk and see what it would take to fabricate a mounting bracket.
