Hey boys what is wrong with you. Back in the 40's I graduated from high school and Dad went and bought a New Oliver 60 and a single row corn picker and said "You are going to pay for it". We lived in NC Iowa. We finished up about the first of Dec and had put the picker in the shed. Here came a neigbor who had corn to pick. His brother was suppose to pick it but he enjoyed Anti-freeze and neglected doing it. He offered Dad quite a bonus to come and pick. So out came the picker. I told Dad if I was going to be the operator he was going to get a Canvas Hear Houser for the tractor. Talk about mud and frozen ground I had it. It would thaw and the turning ends developed ruts and then froze. I ended up picking on the day before Christmas in a blizzard. I had to keep raising the snouts up out of the snow, and was missing ears. The owner said "Keep going". I had to turn on the lights. I did not dare to shut down the picker as the drag chains would freeze. Ended up picking after dark and pulled in the yard and did not get the picker home for three weeks. I lived. gitrib
