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...

Need some advice on checking gear boxes levels on a 324 picker.

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.

Hello I am putting up another Behlen wire crib and I want to put the slot thru it for sheller drags. Can anybody tell me a width and depth dimension that would work. We have a MM sheller now but now drags for it. Maybe some day another MM or JD sheller will show up with the drags. Anyway, any help in sizing this...

Well, this post is not totally all corn picker info, but is ear corn related anyway. There was a sale this past Sat March 13 near Canton, IL, George Borrowman Estate, by Sullivan Auctioneers. On this sale was what they called a salesman sample of a Behlen wire round crib like would have been set up at far...

What would be a good picker that would fit my '57 JD 720 diesel? (Tractor has power steering, and roll-a-matic front end) Or would I be better of with a pull type. Wouldn't be opposed to a JD unit, but a big factor is that I can get whatever New Idea parts are still available through my family's farm equip...

I've been asking around about corn cribs and had a guy tell me about this one, stuck back in the middle of 40 ac. he has rented. He's going to ask if he wants to sale it, keeping the fingers crossed.
