Thanks for the video. 1964 doesn't seem that long ago but it WAS 51 years ago. Does anybody know if that picker could have had knife rolls and stripper plates? Was that an option in the early 60's? It chewed up the stalks better than any ear corn picker I remember.

During that period of time dad was picking with a two row Minneapolis pull picker behind a 630 Deere. We hauled in with a 51 A Deere and a 51 SC Case. The Kewanee elevator was powered by a 35 A Deere with a flat belt going to a Stanhoist speed jack that would pick up the front wheels of the wagons. Dad had the belt real loose so it would throw off if the corn built up in the spout and plugged the elevator. After a wagon rolled off the front of the hoist dad put hoists under the wagons. I remember tightening the flat belt a bit so I could run more corn up the elevator without throwing the belt. The spout up in the crib was stretched way out to the far corner of the crib and didn't have much slope so it overloaded and plugged and built up and REALLY plugged the elevator. Dad came home with the picker and a full wagon wondering why I wasn't coming back out to the field with an empty and there I was half way up the elevator reaching underneath pulling out ears. When he saw the tight belt he figured out what happened. I left it loose after that. Father knows best! LOL

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
