John Deere Picker

Ben Donovan · Dec 8, 2010

Wondering if anybody knows where i might be able to find a set of side screens for a John Deere 60, I have a 227 that I'm going to put on the tractor and would like a set of screens to put on the side of the tractor to keep shucks away.

By golly I never new they made them. Never thought about it as we had a pull type picker. Makes sense. Should not be to hard to make some if you can not find any.

You need an M and W Super Snoot. You take off the front grill, and this replaces it. It has a large tall rectangular perforated screen that has exponentially more surface area than the factory grille. I had one on a 60 and 620 and they work GREAT.

I have seen side screens for 3010/3020's and I know those tractors always ran hot even with them. I have never seen side screens for a 2 cyl.

I'd find a 237. WAY WAY better picker than a 227. I had 2 of each, and filled 5 double cribs a year with them for probably 20 years. Or better yet, find a 300 husker pull-type. The shelled corn you save will pay for it.

ya i actually have the Super Snoot for a sixty and seventy and i guess idk if anybody ever made them for mass production but i have seen a few tractors with them and ya the 237 is a better picker i hear but dad grew up around the 227 on a 60, so doin it for him more less

We used a 226 mounted picker on our JD "B" from 1952 until 1970.

It had the tall "Bonnet" for the front and side-covers and it still caught fire a time or two..!

You never left the shutters on, for the picker..too darned hard to clean the radiator...

Bushhog Papa,
If the 226 we had on a '48 B had ever caught on fire, I am not sure I would have tried too hard to put it out. At the ages of 10-14, it was my job to grease the 226 and B before the school bus came with a grease gun that connected a cold five gallon grease pail to the pistol grip head with a 6-8 foot hose. Too greasy and dirty to take into the house at night and a real bear to use on a cold morning. I don't remember how many grease zerks the 226 had, but it was way too many. When dad traded it for a nice used 227 with bank lube, I thought we had really hit the peak of modern engineering. It was a whole lot quicker and easier to fill and stroke the bank lube plungers
on the 227.
