In the Process of Detailing our Farm & Ranch Property in SouthEastern Colorado, I have learned that an old 3-piece implement We have recently moved in preparation for scrap salvage is actually a 1940's/1950's(Uncertain?) International-Harvestor - Tractor Mounted Single Row Corn Picker which worked up until the day it was retired on our farm. My brother has indicated that this machine was mountable on and IH-Model H Tractor. However, When I chain-lifted 2 of the pieces using an IH-Model M Tractor with a double cylinder Farmland-Lift-Loader, I began to doubt if an IH-Model H could even hold this machine. I rather believe that it was for at least an IH-M! This Thing is Heavy!!! I am additionally told that there may exist a group in Indianna known as the Hillboro Indiana Corn Pickers, or similar, whom may restore these and use them in an annual competition with similar restored John Deere Machines! I hate to scrap this thing if it does have some kind of retrospective value of any kind! It is at least, soley a piece of agricultural history if nothing other than by age alone. Other than the years on it, it is in immaculate condition. I am hoping someone out there can advise Me if this is anything someone would be interested in restoring or of any value whatsoever?!!! We are not looking for some antiques-roadshow price or anything like that for it as it is destined for the scrap-heap if no fruition to our current search for a good home is located.... Can anybody help Me with this>>??? Does such a competition exist, annually>>??? Any reply would be appreciated!!! Thank You and Sincerely,... Dean Hamilton :)

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
