I posted a pic of what I thought was a Allis Chalmers pull type corn picker on one of the feature nights. rrlund posted that he thought that this was a Woods picker. Not being real familiar with it, I thought, he could be right. This old picker is parked amongst some Allis equipment on a farm I rent. Today it was really nice so I went over to check out the picker. The exposed metal was faded to almost Allis orange. Looking under the picker at the axle and wheels, it was more red. Looking for some kind of a tag or ID, I found this tag. Ford. I had to lay on my belly in these briars to get this pic! So, I got to thinking that maybe Woods built the pickers for Ford. Doing some research on the web,I found this: "The Wood Bros. Thresher Company located in Des Moines, Iowa, made virtually all the corn pickers; combines; threshers; and forage harvesters for Ford/Ferguson, Dearborn, and later Ford Tractor Implement Division." Dang, sure do hate it when I'm wrong. LOL. I just assumed, but Mr. Lund knew.
