Anyone working on anything new they acquired recently or getting around to making some repairs on something they've had for awhile? For most of us, it would have to be in a heated shop, since the midwest weather has been less than friendly...

Has anyone done it? Thinking of setting up a hopper bottom bin with an air tube and a fan for next year. Ran out of room this year, and had some issues with a crib. Trying to set up something that will make it easier to handle ear corn to run it through the mixer.

Howdy, any interest in a stand alone 318 grinder or it can be put back on the picker. I have been using it to grind ear corn and I need to get a grinder/mixer, too many grains and additives to mix by hand after grinding the corn, also have a parts machine Thanks Larry

Ran across this No.10 sheller last week literally hanging in the shed where it was last taken off. Has probably been there since the late 60s early 70s. Long story short I hope to pick it up before the weekend. Hope to have it operating for next fall on my 64 2MH. There's not much literature on the No.10s or...

Anybody out there got pictures or information on the old orange 2 row mounted sweetcorn picker. I think they were FMC.

I bought this old Hardy hay and train elevator off C-list for $100. After working on it some I decided it needed some paint, not a restoration quality job, but I looked up an old brochure on one, and they looked to be red and grey so I went with that, and did more of a user type brush on paint job. A trip to the el...

Has anyone sped up the elevator on their New Idea pickers? I have a 324 with the 327 husking bed and were wanting to throw the ears a bit farther. The parts book doesn't show anything. Thanks Jim

Sorry, we had a few minor glitches with the printer, but we now have the final cost. Before you look at the cost of the book, I just wanted to let you know that the book is 802 pages with well over 1500 illustrations/photos--many in color; we used heavy, quality paper, which made the book almost 2" thick an...

My fellow corn pickers, cornholes corn snakes, Did you know you can eat the cobb?!? Seems like this should be publicly announced. It just makes sense! Think of all the cobbs just being thrown out every year! Its astounding! We need to band together and spread the words to our fellow Americans! Toget...

i got this wagon hoist for a running gear I just bought and was wondering if anyone has an idea what brand it might be.

Adam · Adam

Checked my corn with the floating in water test and it's not quite dry enough yet. Thought I'd check in with you all. I'm sure chomping at the bit to try out the 323!

Adam · Adam

After the long search, and long tow home, it was definitely worth it! we got the corn picked 2 weeks ago right before this long spell of wet weather. Here's a few pics of our corn picking in WV

Adam · Adam

I thought I would show and tell some about my corn crib. The crib has been on our farm since horse and wagon days of corn picking. I found in the concrete, that the steps were added in 1963 probably to keep in from falling over, as the pillars were not on a footing, just in the ground about 6 inches. And they we...

Adam · Adam

I thought I'd start a new thread about getting my corn picker home, in hopes it might help some others. Last week I found a corn picker for a good price on Craigslist, the only problem was it was about 75 miles away by interstate. I had looked long enough to know it was a decent picker for a really good price....

My son and I restored this Electric 5130 Flare Box several years ago, then set it on an extra running gear I had and pushed it into the back of the shed. Late this fall, I finished a long process of swapping this gear from under that wagon, etc., etc., until I got to the Electric running gear that I wanted to p...

In 2015 he told a friend and me that someone was possibly going to take over his business. I have no idea if that happened. Perhaps the moder...
