Cool thankyou. I have a picture of my dad picking with a WC and a steel wheeled New Idea side elevator. Don

What is the advantage to a side elevator pulled wagon? I know they used to pull wagons seperately beside the side elevator pickers, but that one is pulled by the picker.

The early side elevator pickers were used with horse drawn high wheeled wagons with the long tongue. The wagon was pulled by a chain through a tube that would allow the picker operator to adjust the wagon fore and aft to completely fill the wagons.

When I was a youngster, that was how my Dad picked corn with a side elevator Oliver picker behind a 1947 WC. Then we used a new idea elevator with a wagon hoist to unload at the crib. You would pull the wagon onto the hoist wheel pans then engage the gearing to lift the front of the wagon with cables to unload the corn.

Great job on the videos, Randy! You do a darn good job of that!

What an experience that was. Randy was a great help in getting the A going again. If it weren't for him and Norm Meinert, the whole show would have been a flop for me.

It was running great when I left home, and then when I started it at the show, it had a miss. Norm looked at it for me, and the determination was made that a valve wasn't closing. Took the cover off, and sure enough. Couldn't get it to come back up, so I pulled the head off.....a valve seat had dropped. Was lucky to get it to a machine shop in Rantoul (G&G), they had a new seat in in no time. Randy helped me work on it well after dark, adjusting valves, etc. It wasn't running perfect sitting there, but sounded good under load. Thanks again, Randy and Norm!

Thanks for the videos-------I really enjoyed the pickers. I am a little saddened by the unshielded PTO shafts, however. They can still maim and kill-------especially in a show surrounding with people who don't understand their danger.

Ben, I didn't have a chance to get any plowing videos, There are several by others on youtube, maybe one of them has footage of your D17.

Andrew, I Didn't film the Kinze show, although many did if you check out youtube.

Mark, I totally agree.
