I had my 325 picker out of the barn the other day to put some other equipment in. I took a few pics and thought I would post them. It is a 1966 model with a 326 8 roll bed. I bought it off a neighbor last year who had owned it 37 years. I used it last year, hope to clean it up and repaint it in the next year or two.

After all of the fun of mounting the picker this weekend, my dad and I are stumped. We started the picker, very carefully and slowly, only to find out that the right gathering unit would not work. We looked the right side over, up and down to discover that the chain that connects the upper slip clutch was v...

Hi everyone, I've been doing some research on early corn pickers and ran across this forum. What I have read here so far has been very helpful, and I was hoping to get a little more information. I am not a farmer, though my grandparents were, and never lived on a working farm, so I am very much a novice! In th...

My dad and I spent the weekend putting the NI 319 mounted picker on our IH 656. The picker has set in the shed for at least the past 15 years. We feel pretty good about remembering how to put the under carriage on, mounting and moving the husking bed, mounting the sheller unit on and finally tonight getting...

Hello- I recently purchased a 2MH picker that was on a Farmall 450 standard hitch tractor. I currently have it on a M, but when I hook up the drive shaft, it is not straight, and when you lift the picker, it makes an awful sound. Are there different mounts between the two tractors? Thanks for your help.

Back in the fall, I bought a 1965 New Idea 701 Uni which, because of constant bad winter weather, I just got it home this past weekend. The former owner had quit picking corn with it two years ago and he was just ready to be rid of it and get more shed room. He had owned it for more than 30 years. It is an early one...

corn has been brown, most are combining now. I've a #11, in great shape to pick 10 acres of OP corn. I bet its close to 100 bushel corn. The problem is the morning glory vines and my #11 picker, do i wait till frost and the vines are stunted or go ahead and pick. Thanks, Robie( in Virginia)

I have a late model AVCO New Idea corn picker that is in need of some new tires.. What do you recommend as a replacement?? Talked with a local tire guy and he can get brand new ones, but I thought he said they were only a 4ply rating. Has the smooth tires on it now, but like the looks of the bar style tread. Thank...

Can you experienced picking men guide me? How tight should the husking rolls be on the New Idea? If too tight, will they wear out too fast? What do I use to gage or measure how tight? Thanks.

Can you get stripper bars for a 325 New Idea to cut down on the shelling with the snapping rolls

Supposedly after White took over MM the 1210 shellmaster was offered to Oliver dealers with green paint . . . I've seen a toy based on one, but have never seen a picture of a real one, nor literature for one. There were also a few red White 1210 shellers near the very end (1973-74?).

Has anyone ever added the cylinder mounts to a New Idea 324 for having a hydraulic tongue? Seems like it would be a handy feature and my 324 doesn't have the mounts.
