I have a question about a 2M galvanized cornpicker that I intend on restoring. A few of the corner seams on the elevator are splitting. Is there any trick to welding the galvanized metal, or should I just skip that if it is a hassle and brace the corners with some other metal? My Dad, who used to use it, h...

How well does a sheller do with shelling if their is snow on top of the corn? Would the snow break up enough before it got in the sheller so that it wouldn't fill up everything? I have corn in a pickett crib and might need to shell some corn for feed. It has a fair amount of snow on top already and we might be g...

When I was kid we had an sp that I just rember . We later had an AC #17 on a 1958 D-17 diesel and then a 1961 Ford red 2 row mounted on a Ford 981 Select-o-Speed. The Ford picker was traded in 1963 on a new Gleaner E with 10 foot grain head and a 2 row corn head , ending our ear picking until 1984 when I grew Pioneer...

Here is what I'm looking at. I found a rectangular shaped crib. It is 72' long, 12' wide, and 12' to the roof trusses. I would just round the ears up from the walls, don't think the roof is made to go to the lid. I know the cubic feet of the building is 3455.6544 ft.
