I was loading corn today at a customers farm and spotted it sitting in the corner of his machine shed. Its been sitting for a long time. The picker is long gone. What are these worth?

I remember some of you had some discussion on snow fence cribs a while ago. Found this pic again finally. It was taken in the early 60's I think. My grandpa owned the farm at the time and now my parents live there and also where I grew up. Not a whole lot has changed since then, both barns are there and there...

I have decided to do a few "How To's" on mounting IH corn pickers. I am doing these to hopefully help someone who has a picker but does not know how to mount/unmount a corn picker. I will start with the 2ME, work my way to the 2MH and then finally the mighty 234! Mounting or Unmounting works the very best on ha...

As I was starting to remove my 2ME the other night I had an Idea.. How much interest would there be if I typed up some step by step "How To's" on IHC corn pickers???? I can do 2ME, 2MH, and 234 as those are the ones im familiar with mounting. Will most likely do 2ME first as I have a lot of pics at t...

I've been looking at information on pickers. I expect to have to travel to find one and then haul it home. My question is how much trailer do I need to haul one? I have a 2MH manual in my collection, it says a 2MH is 18' long without the elevator. I have an 18' car hauler type trailer that is 16' long with a 2...

Anybody know what kind of wood was used for these boards. Mine are pretty worn as most everything is. I've just finished rebuilding the snouts. And if anybody knew the dimensions of those boards that would even better. Thanks.

Here's the first brochure of the new year - a New Idea No. 10 One-Row Corn Picker. I didn't notice this until I scanned it in - this picker was available as either a pull-type or a semi-mounted picker. Has anyone ever seen one of these as a semi-mounted model? -- Edited by jdtom on Monday 4th of January 2010...

Other than the shape of the outside gatherers, the new "waffle-type" snapping rolls (which could be put on a 227), and going back to three gathering chains per row, instead of the two used on the 227) what were the other differences? I did like the built in step on the tire shields on the 237. ...

Just curious, when a 2MH picker is mounted on a M/Super M/400/450, how tall is the elevator sticking out the back? Is it better to remove it from the tractor before you haul it? Was wondering how folks haul their pickers to shows and so forth. Al
