Looks like a decent picker - just too far away for most of us here!

I was thinking the same thing. 

I found out about three Ford pickers ten miles from me, all one owner and they range from, in the shed, just outside the shed, to in a pile.  Need to go look and see what condition they are in.

Yeh they are always too far , for too much and i dont have a decent trailor and no storage, so i hate to take something myself to have it stay outside.

If it wasn't so far away I'd sure like to have it . We had one on a Ford 981 Select-o-speed sweet set up and good contest winning picker. Don Southeastern Iowa

where can i find info on what tractors this picker will fit .  What about parts availability.  someone mentioned that it has quartz snapping rolls. is that going to be aproblem?   I am close by and am going to check it out.  I am hoping to set up a two row mounted picker to do about 25 acres.  I am tired of one row at a time.

Here is chart,   the Quartz was a coating on the snapping rolls, to make them agressive, like when some weld on the rolls.

Does the Quartz wear easily. And what do you do when it is worn out. Can it be recoated, or does the roll need to be replaced? I like collecting machinery, but they have to earn their keep so to speak.

Yes they can be recoated and some had rubber instead of quartz as an option.
