Boy, Kevin, you bring back good memories(and I'm only 29 years old). We had a 234 mounted on a 400IH that Dad used for many years. However, I do have a picture of the 400 when it did break an axle when it had that 234 on it. Dad was going over a big badger hole in the field when the tire fell in the hole & then the axle broke. They did seem to have a reputation of breaking axles as about any mounted picker did. The tires had to be spread WIDE, WIDE, WIDE to fit that great big husker unit on the back of the tractor, so they put a lot of leverage against on that axle. I'll have to look, but I think the owner's manual said a 460 could be used if it did have the Heavy-Duty rear axle option. We still have the book & I think I know where that picker still is(sold it to a machinery jocker years ago). Boy, just talking about that old 234 brings back memeories. Thanks, Kev, for the trip down memory lane.
