Hi Riverbend, These pickers don't have sealed bearings, you should find grease zerks on all bearings. The bottom end of the snappers should be greased every 4 hours. My dad taught me "If it moves it needs grease or oil." Grease is cheap and I use all of my used engine and transmission oil. You will find a lever that adjusts the width between the bottom end of the snapping rolls. Keep them as close as practicle, widening them will run the stalks threw better if they are dry, but will shell more off each ear. I have known countless farmers with hands lost to corn pickers. If you ever think of going near a corn picker while it is running you would be better off to quit farming immediately. I have run them for almost 50 years, Dad and Mr. Holberg, my FFA Advisor, impressed on me how to do it. STAY ON THE SEAT WHILE IT IS RUNNING! I have worn out three pickers but my body is still complete. Had a neighbor who bragged he could pull stalks safely because he only pulled them from the bottom, he now has only one finger on his right hand. Good luck, Chuck

We arrived hoping to meet up with a man we knew had over one
