Hugh, In the 60's I sold three new Farmall 504 High Clear tractors to a farmer who was also a engineer and built some of his own equipment. He built three bean pickers of his own design simular to the Chism Reider (I believe that is the right brand name, they were a greeny/yellow color) commercial bean pickers. When the Farmall 656 hydrostatic came out he bought the three Farmall 656 HC Hydros and modified his bean pickers to fit on the 656 and traded the Farmall 504 High Clears in on them. We sold the 504's locally as spray machine tractors, (as a number of the older cotton picker tractors had been used). When he quit the eatable bean business he sold the three bean pickers on the F656HC's out of the area. If any of those pickers you know of are unbranded, painted red, and the tractor part has three point hitch, they could be the three built in Mississippi. Also, his pickers were all hydraulic drive whereas the factory built pickers use mechanical drive. The tractors used by Chism Reider also did not have three point hitch or rockshaft. There is a derilict F666HC from a old Chism Reider bean picker in a salvage yard in Chattanooga. Harold H Harold H

He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
