Included (I hope) are photos of my first adventure of picking corn. The picker is a New Idea 324 with New Idea 329 sheller, JD 2950 tractor. I had never used or even seen the picker used before I set out to use it this fall. It has lived it's entire life outside and hasn't been run in 3 years. I had many problems and now can say I think I know a great deal about adjusting and repairing it. It took a total of 3 rounds of picking corn, fixing what broke then picking again before i got finished picking my small plot of 4 acres of corn. Two of the repairs involved chains. One just a broken one and the other broken then removing a link of a #62 elevator chain. The first repair involved the picture showing the large gap in the sheller screen. It had separated at the inside end and the corn was pouring between the gap into the fan housing. I repaired this gap with some roof flashing and bolts through the rust holes on one end and screen holes on the other. Works so far! I am proud to say that after the last batch of ordering parts and adjusting the machine that it is now running smoothly and i know how to use it and and what to do to get ready to run it next year
