I've never heard of an M-34 or M-24. In our area of sales we went from the M-12 to the 120 then to the two rows. Both the M or HM-14 and the M or HM-34 & 24 are new to me. Also never heard of a low drum M-12 but have heard of a low drum M-11 but have never seen one.

H M 1 4 low drum.
H M 34 low drum - 3 4 i think is for 300 - 400

scratching my head on that one,
all of my high drum heads have M 12 H. i would like to find a (one row) bolt on top high drum

Jess,
If you want parts, I have the remains of a 1-row picker for an H on the farm. I also have a 214 or 220 picker. They are both in south Texas. Might be too far for you for this kinda stuff.

hello John G,
how much of the one row is left, is the low drum head still there? the main drive
assy for that picker only fits a(H) model, that would be interesting to get..is the basket lid in good shape. what is left.
the 214/or 220 could be exciting if it is a low drum model, there wasent a lot of low drum pickers out here. thanks, jess in ca

Jess,
The basket and most of the sheet metal parts are gone. The head, maybe a low drum, is still there. It has the aluminum top. I think the 214 is a low drum also. It has always been shedded, but still has some rust on it. Not bad for the area though. I can send some photos if you can email me back.

John,

If your head is a cast alunumum top low drum (14 spindles high) it is a H M 11. Not very many HM11 low drums's were produced. If it is a High drum it is probably a H M 12. Lots of 12's were built. Probably most of any one row model but all 12's were high drums (20 spindles high). Most 12's were on M's because the H did not have enough power for really big cotton. Most low drums you will find are probably 114's (bolted top).

Harold,
Here is a photo of the head. The rest of the remains seem to fit an H since I have an M on the farm, and they won't fit it. I have the gear box that goes in place of the belt pulley and it is too small for the M's belt pulley drive. I have a manual for a cotton picker that looks kinda like this one and it is (I think) "M-14 and MD-14". The parts and layout look very similar.

A neighbor has part of a 1-row built on an M. It has a V-Belt pulley bolted to the PTO shaft. Does this sound familiar? I really don't know what type it was, the tractor is a 1945 M, and the picker head is gone.

How did you learn so much about cotton pickers? I am kinda intriqued by the ones around here. I am toying with the idea of restoring the old 214 on the family farm. Otherwise, they may haul it to the scrap yard. Do you have a parts manual for the 214?

John,

I have never seen a HM-14 but since you have a manual that is probably what it is. As I've stated most all Mississippi Delta pickers were high drums so I'm not that knowledgeble on low drum models. A low drum 11 head would look the same and the later 114 had the bolted top. Some places called the models H-M like HM-12 because most could be made to fit either H's or M's but we called them just M like M-12 or whatever because that is all we used under the high drum pickers, although there was a bull gear version of the H available.

John G
it looks like a low drum from the photo,
the gear box is a single speed. all high drum 1 rows i ve seen were 2 speed,
but in later 1 row models i.e the 320, or mabey the 120-A they could of used a single speed on high drums. on the upper rear left side of the head there should be a small tag rivited to the aluminum housing, it will have 2 groups of numbers on it. model#,& ser#
it is a long way to go, but i ve gone farther
for less.for the head-gearbox-manual how much do you want for it? my email address is.

Your low drum H mounted picker is probably a 114. They were available with both dual fans or single fans. There were very few low drums in the Mississippi Delta so I am mere familaier with high drums. Also after the 220 came out in 1957, very few new one row pickers were sold. If your low drum H picker has a bolted type head, vs the cast aluminum type head top on your M-12 it is almost certainly a 114. If it has the cast aluminum type head I think it could be a low drum #11 but I have never seen one of these.
