We are about 17 miles East of Bloomington, Il.---Everything in the pics. was carted off to landfill (against my will) , but I do still have a MM 1200(?) pto sheller left. --have been trying to find it a home , as I dont have shed space for it.--it has sat out for many years and has some rusted out holes in the places water stood in it but it should still be complete, except for the 100'+ of drags which got carted off with the other stuff.--did have an Oliver 83-H, #2, #3.---IH 2MHD mounted on one of the Super MD's.-----at one time we had 3-- 6 cylinder MH-SP and 1--4 cylinder pickers-----Dads first picker was a Woods Bros. 1-row, second was a Deere 226 on a 1936 Deere A tractor.
I would like to find a 1-row picker just to pick my "chicken corn" with, but cant find one around here and I am unable to travel due to spinal condition, so will probably never find one and still pick by hand! thanks; sonny
just found an old pic of the sheller!

Yeh had to cut up an new idea picker when i mived. Never again! Nothing worse than seeing good equipment go for scrap. i have severe spinal stenosis and need back fixed but no insurance. Understand what you age going thru. Hang in there!
