I have bill of sale fpr 114A that my Dad bought new in 1960. Cost $7000 mounted on used 400 tractor. The drive that bolted on in place of belt pulley was a real pain. There was a 90 degree gear drive that drove a chain and sprocket set which drove the belt drive. Replacing the chain (not uncommon job) out in field on cold late November day could make a country boy want to move to town. The ninty degree drive went out fairly frequently but we never attemted to repair them in field. There were at least 3 types of one row pickers after they were in common use in our area major differences were in fan system and drive mechanism picking heads were not all that different. In fact last new picker head I looked at 8 to 10 years ago was very similar to first commercial IH pickers. The 114A Dad bought in 1960 would pick as well or better than the 5 and 6 rows I see running all around me now.
