Hey guys,
Thought I'd share a few pictures of today's adventure: Picking corn. I picked up this Massey Harris self propelled picker about a year ago at a friends auction.
When I bought it, the engine was froze up, the gas tank had holes in it, and it had lots of other problems. I got it freed up and running and working, but it still needs a lot of work to make it work as it should.
Hopefully by next fall I'll have the engine overhauled (it only seems to run on 5 of 6 cylinders, and a couple have little compression) and new gathering chains on the head, and the air screen area fixed (notice the duct tape on the bottom LOL)
This was the first time I had ever really run this machine, or even picked corn.. Was slow going, but I sure enjoyed myself.
Thanks for looking.. and sorry for the large pictures.. still trying to figure out the resize thing..
