I know where there is another just like this in southern Minnesota. Comments I"ve heard are that they were a good machine, but ahead of their time. It"s a model S (or maybe IS)

Where is this one?
 
Not running them down,but Case and AC had some pretty unique pieces of equipment in their day. About as odd as some of MM's tractors.
 
Got a couple of them. Have "played" with them some. Do an excellent job shelling corn. Course like any old picker, it shells almost as much over the row from the snapping rolls.
 
I wouldn't mind having one to play with, myself, but with some of the rolling fields we have, that tank up high would scare me.
 
Hear in south Indiana that machine would be laying on its side most of the time, or the frame would be twisted from the strain on our hillsides.
 
Sorry its not for sale at this time, its outside because we don't have building tall enough for it. it will at some point get restored because it had belonged to an old guy who passed away that my dad knew since he was little. Otherwise I would consider selling it to you.
 
Pretty neat looking!! Never seen one with the hopper that high up.
Were are you at in Michigan? I'm 10 miles south of the Mackinaw Bridge.
 
Kind neat but like others say I wonder how stable it was when full what would you guess it held, will be nice if or when you can get it inside out of the weather.
 
Actually you look at all of the different brands of equipment years ago they all were different. I/E look at all of the different versions of mounted corn pickers. Somehow everything has evolved into looking alike, especially on the tractors, their numbering systems are pretty much the same on most brands of tractors.
 
Most Case A-6 combines and other pull-type combines had blacksmith made hitches added to pull a wagon along side under the unloading auger. I'm surprised this picker doesn't get a similar hitch added in place of the hopper. The elevator looks tall enough to dump into a wagon. Was the hopper optional? Round tubes on the elevator, for round cups?

Neat old machine, I'm glad it's so original, it still has a few corn cobs on the back. Thanks for posting!

FYI, Massey-Harris made an early self-propeller corn picker that is also interesting. If I remember right, it had a six cylinder flat head Chrysler engine mounted at tire level.
 
The local M-M Dealer in the small north-central Illinois town I grew up near had one of those traded in that my Dad rented one year to finish harvesting corn. If my memory serves me right, (I would have been under 10 years old). They had removed the tank and had a hitch made to pull a wagon along side, or it could have been pulled in the rear, I don"t remember. Anyway, my Dad bought a M-M Uni-system the following year and had the combine, picker, picker-sheller and windrower over the years before trading all that in on a new IH 403 with 4 row corn head and small grain head.
 
The hoppers are that high to be able to gravity dump into a wagon that could have been about 8' tall, and that could have been only a 4' high sideboard, and remember the wagon bed would probably be 4' from the side of tank and that you need a good slope for the grain to slide out on. Lot of combines were made same way, Also some ear corn pickers had the hoppers. And that hopper probably held only 5-600 pounds and that picker part would have been a lot heavier.
 

Do you have more pictures of this corn picker? I'm a 3D computer modeler and I make farm equipment for a farming simulator. I'm on a quest to find a good trailed corn picker sheller that can be pulled by tractors with less than 50 HP for the game. I was told in another post that this case is one that fits that category since there is no wagon to pull behind it.
Thanks
