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

Tim in NJ · Tim in NJ

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.

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...

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.
