     Here are a couple pictures of my Case pickers at the Steam-O-Rama show two weeks ago. The picker/sheller is an IS, and the smaller picker is a PR. The PR didn't get used since the IS worked well.

Hooked up my 1952 SC to the PR picker last night and picked about two and a half acers trying to beat the rain on some bottom land. I've had this picker for four years now and have good luck with it except for a minor problem with a PTO yoke. Good pickers. Also have a 212 choper with corn and hay heads. I've never used it , although it is in very good condition. Just don't need it to use. One of those things you find once in awhile that you think you just have to own. This one was a one owner and came off a dairy farm in Wisconsin. Very good shape. Love the old Case tractors and equipment and still use it.

Great pics! We had a Case chopper when I was a kid and they did a lot of custom silo filling with it. I posted a picture of it in the "Vintage Photos" section ovewr to the left on the main page of this site. Search "Farmboy856" and you should find it. Too bad it"s being pulled by a tractor of a different color. Ours had a V-4 Wisconsin on it.

Case 212 Chopper in reply to Jason Kozlowski, 10-14-2010 12:23:24

  Hi Jason; I posted a pic. of this chopper a couple of months ago, thought it was a hedgerow special! as well as some pics of SCs and some Cocksutts Well it isn't and after I spent some time a couple of weeks ago, talking with the gentlman on the seat, Dennis, I soon realized that his dad, my dad, and our grandfathers had deep routed ties with Case equipment. Turns out that my dad sold this chopper new to them.They also have another one with a direct cut hay head. I hope to buy that one from them. Supposadly it only lacks the drive shaft that powers the header. Any way, glad to see you got the sheller working, and where did you find that 930LP with the 18" cast front wheels on a rowcrop front axle.Never saw that before!If I run across something that might spark your intrest , I will E-mail you. Loren the Acg.

The '65 930 LP (941) was purchased from Oklahoma, but it has dealership decals from Dodge City, Kansas. I've seen a couple others like it, but there are definitely more of the western tractors with the 18" cast wheels. It could also have them because it is such an early eight speed 930 tractor. It seems to have all the early features that were updated later. I need to request some build cards, I actually wonder if it could have been built in the 1964 calendar year. Nice chopper as well. We had a Case 210 chopper, but sold it. I actually saw a 212 earlier this year that had a fixed chute. I knew the pivot was an option, but had never seen one without it. I've located a later 300 chopper with a single row head, and I hope to buy it. I think they are actually Hesston built units; is that correct? That should look nice following one of our 30 series tractors.

I could be wrong, but the number 550 seems to stick in my head. I am probably wrong, I am not much if an IH fan

The 300 Case choper is actually an IH. I can remember helping Grandpa fix his using red parts. It was not much of a machine compared to our New Holland.

You are the second one to say the Case 300 choppers are IH machines, so there must be something to it. Any Idea what IH model is equivalent? I went looking at online ads to compare pictures, but didn't find a IH that was the same.

These look great! It's always nice to see some of the old equipment being maintained in operating condition. I wanted to go to the Steam-o-Rama, but it was the same weekend as the State Fair. Maybe next year I'll figure out a way to do both! Thanks for sharing photos of your Case equipment! Lee
