We had the moline setup, dad got a gold/tan power unit with a yellow ear corn picker and yellow bean combine unit. It was a good idea but the old setups were a little before their time as well as past their prime.....
The picker couldn’t handle 1970s corn yields, and the snapping roll gears weren’t available once they wore out.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
