I was wondering if anyone needed new rubber flight for the elevator chain. On my NI 300 it was missing a few and they are all wore out. I took a utility knife and cut the sidewall out of a tire and used it to make some new ones. Now it can haul 3 ears up. The old ones would haul up one ear. I just took a grinder to the...

I have a New Idea 300 and only used it twice. I hope to use it this year but I noticed a little problem last time. On the front where the corn gets pulled in by the 2 rollers they are supposed to pull the stalk down and then rip the ear off. I noticed the ear would go right down with the stalk on about 1/3 of the stal...

Has anyone ordered this? I have their video of Power From the Past, taken at Rantoul, IL., with the 3 steam engines pulling the huge plow (about 2 inches deep, with some bottoms not even in the ground), but other than that not a bad video, EXCEPT for the inane yapping of the announcer, who must feel that w...

Anyone else have any pictures or stories to share about your experiences of picking ear corn this fall? Or picking with a picker-sheller? It seems like there was more posted here last year than there has been so far this year. So if you got out your "toys" this fall and used them a bit, let the r...

I had a part load of ear corn left that wouldn't fit in the cribs when I picked corn earlier this fall. So I got out my John Deere 43 corn sheller, set it up and shelled the corn on the wagon. Worked great! I sure wouldn't want to shell thousands of bushels like this, though. I bought this sheller over 10 ye...

This is going to be featured Thanksgiving weekend, if the announcer is to be believed. The preview looks to be pretty interesting, showing a JD 227/237, an#4 Oliver, a couple of PT New Ideas, and a red 2 row mounted Ford.
