Here are some pics of my late winter/early spring shop project. I bought this wagon 5-6 years ago and disassembled the sides from the bed almost right away after I purchased it. I parked it in my shed with the sides and ends piled up on the bed, thinking I would get to it later that year. Well, we all know how...

Got 2 pickers out and 2 wagon out for Solon Beef Days Parade today. About an hr and 15 min drive from where they were stored. So a nice little drive this morning and afternoon. Parade lasted about 1.5 hr I think. Started moving around 10 and parked for lunch about 11:45. Was good to get them out and get the c...

Im working with my ration for feeding out dairy steers and beef cross steers. I have a Gehl 95MX mill. Currently I am mixing about 3400-3500 lbs of ground ear corn, 200 lbs of distillers, 200 lbs of oats and I have been throwing 50 lbs of molasses in there lately too and seeing if that does anything. The...

Dan Robinson you got me thinkingwhat do any of you do to your corn pickers to keep them clean and shiny? I know sitting in the shed they collect dust, and they do get dirty when they go out to the fields. So what does everyone do to clean and maintain a corn picker's appearance? I have used a leaf blower to d...

I went to the Red Power Roundup in Union Grove, WI and while there rode up to Manawa, WI to pick up my 2MH. Found it on Facebook back this winter. It's been outside for about a year but looks to be sound. It's missing a few small parts, but overall it looks good! It's going to be a long term project, as of no...

Looking for some advise on checking the air in my 708 Uni. Just got it today and checked everything over and the only thing not functioning is the air. It came from Iowa so air wasn't that important but down here in South Carolina we have to have it. I cleaned the filter for the a/c and replaced it but I'm not...

Picked up this wagon at an auction last week. Didn't really need it, but the price was right. Has anyone else ever seen plywood sides on a wagon like this? This is the first one I have ever run across. Usually they are tongue and groove boards. If it HAS been rebuilt, then whoever did it did a darn good job! H...

Call me crazy, but I just had an idea for a corn crib. I think I know where I can buy an old cotton wagon that has the wire cage sides on it. It also has tandem axles front and rear. This about a 35' long by 8' wide rig. It seems to me if a man made a roof for it, and put some vertical supports toward the middle of the w...

Finally got the picker moved home. It's been sitting in a barn for 40 years but it turned with a pipe wrench fairly easy!

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.

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. ...
