Thanks for the video. 1964 doesn't seem that long ago but it WAS 51 years ago. Does anybody know if that picker could have had knife rolls and stripper plates? Was that an option in the early 60's? It chewed up the stalks better than any ear corn picker I remember.
During that period of time dad was picking with a two row Minneapolis pull picker behind a 630 Deere. We hauled in with a 51 A Deere and a 51 SC Case. The Kewanee elevator was powered by a 35 A Deere with a flat belt going to a Stanhoist speed jack that would pick up the front wheels of the wagons. Dad had the belt real loose so it would throw off if the corn built up in the spout and plugged the elevator. After a wagon rolled off the front of the hoist dad put hoists under the wagons. I remember tightening the flat belt a bit so I could run more corn up the elevator without throwing the belt. The spout up in the crib was stretched way out to the far corner of the crib and didn't have much slope so it overloaded and plugged and built up and REALLY plugged the elevator. Dad came home with the picker and a full wagon wondering why I wasn't coming back out to the field with an empty and there I was half way up the elevator reaching underneath pulling out ears. When he saw the tight belt he figured out what happened. I left it loose after that. Father knows best! LOL

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
