Thought it might be interesting to see who's coming and what are you bringing to Rantoul. For me, I'm bring a New Idea No.7 and a New Idea 319 on a Farmall 560. We'll be staying at the Wingate in Champaign. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Has anyone ever come across a Progress or Promway steel bed wagon? I live in Arthur, IL, the home of Progress Industries and was looking through some old literature and came across a wagon line they made. The Promway Corn Dumps were popular around here but I have never seen a wagon. I would like to find on...

Looking at a 73H corn picker. All in all looks pretty good. It has been shedded and lubricated. Looks like it could go to the field. Questions - What are things that I need to look at to see if it worn? Wear points? Pros and cons? It has two ID plates - one on the rear of the picker with an SN of 33521AU and on the r...

I went last night and bought a 325 with a 326 8 roller husking bed. The gear boxes are seeping a little oil but not bad. The chains and sprockets show very little wear. I go next saturday to pick it up. I am sure I will have a few questions once I get it home.
