 Topic: Closer to being done, on the picker
Posted: 15 May 2011 at 10:01pm |
Getting closer on the picker, have new tires ordered for the front. Coming together nice so far.
Guard dog on duty, you have seen him before on the WC, he won't fit on a tractor seat anymore!

Yes Terry, you do. If you don't have a manual, you need to get one. Its worth it. There are many modifications to getting the picker ready, and on the tractor.

Will do Randy! haha
I sure would like to take her, but, time and money limits me to 2 local shows here in Michigan, and a tractor drive soon.

I was telling my brother about your picker project yesterday ( while we rebuilt the hydraulic pump on WD 45 diesel ) and wondered how far along you were, coincidence ? Nice pictures, looks like you waxed it !!!

yeah a manual helps I put one on a couple of years ago with no manual and I didnt take it off the other tractor and it took about 8 hours or more. I swear the guy took every bolt out of it even all the ones that didnt need to come out, the only things I had left were a piece that doesnt go to anything and the bracket that held the extra cyl up. after finishing it I found that I had atleast 3 manuals , thats how I found out about the bracket, looks good by the way and if you know of anybody that has any of the little rubber buttons for the shucking rollers I would be interested, the one we use only gets about 40% of the shucks off after the dew is gone and probally 70% when the dew is on, Thanks, Dustin
