mounting a corn picker

Nick167 · Oct 8, 2015

To mount a Oliver #4 picker on a 88 do I need to take the fenders off ? If so what do I do about lights?

Back the tractor up close to the picker.Observe closely,and use a tape measure. I'll bet you can figure it out.

Play it safe, if you need lights it's time to go home. When I was growing up my dad and uncles shared a picker. Never had lights on it. Between the three of them filled 10-12 cribs plus each had a dairy herd and hogs.

yup
mount lights on picker if you really think you need them

Fenders need to come off,wheels need to be turned around. The brackets for the picker bolt to the axles where the fenders bolt on. The number 4's I had,had mounts for the lights up on top of the picker next to the driver platform,but I never put them on up there.

Seemed we did most corn picking at night and those 6V lights of the JD "B" did not give much light at all even with them up on top, but was better than nothing, when there was no full Moon..!!
That was a #226 Mounted picker on the JD "B"..
Dad opened a lot of fields for neighbors with that one..!!
New in 1952 and I still have it...
With the Picker running, you could NOT hear the exhaust from the Straight Pipe..!!!

We had an Oliver mounted picker on an super 88. You always wanted a long handled screw driver the get the gear shift lever back in the right spot while standing on your head.
