Guys, This is driving me crazy! (didn't have far to go anyway). Howard was good enough to provide us with these pictures of an old IH beet topper at work last year in the Platte valley of Nebraska and I know he is not an old beet farmer. Nevertheless, I've been looking at this thing for a week now and something is just wrong. First, that plate, where the flinger/knife assembly mounts to the side rail, did not stick out in front of the tractor nose like that. Secondly, there doesn't seem to be a kicker bed between the diggers and the elevator. Also, there is a jackshaft missing (across the top of the diggers) which drove the chainbox for the elevator. The kicker bed was normally driven by the sproket that is driving the elevator in this picture. And (this is the biggie), didn't that elevator mount behind the axle? Didn't the kicker bed assembly run under the axle? I remember the goofy thing was about 4' long. Can anyone remember? Did IH make different models of this topper? Or, did these guys just mount it up wrong? Or, am I totally crazy, need to go lie down, take a nap and try to forget about it? :>( Thanks, Allan

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
