This must be a real rare item. It say for the rare mounted one row picker on a B or a C.

That is a B radiator cover that the screen is attched to. Not a C or WC. I don't know about the rest. It would be helpful in mowing high weeds. I had not heard of a picker on a B but with the idea and an old one row picker along with a few tools, who knows.

I wonder how they snuck that out of the prototype lab way back when?

Or is it just a combine radiator screen for th power unit.... LOL

I wonder if Norm Swinford knows how much B.S. that one pic in his book has created? LOL

I have one in the shep just like it. Came off a power unit. the screen and Pto were not used when I took the engine for a tractor.

I am not home now but in one of my tractor books I have a picture of a C with a one row semi mounted picker. In fact MR SWINFORD may have mentioned this in his Allis Chalmers Book.

Looking at it and from memory it appears to have been for the C mounted picker.

Good Luck!

I am sure the one in the picture at the ebay link is from a combine. I thought I put that in my first post but I see it wasn't.

Just a clarification to Dick's first post. Dick's correct that the snout is based on a B radiator cover (grille shell) and not a C, CA, WC, etc., but the opening in the shell itself with this unit is way bigger than the standard opening in the B grille shell that's filled with expanded metal. It's not simply a screened snout attached to the front of a B grille shell.

Strange but true, John Deere sold brackets to mount their model 100 and 101 snappers/pickers on the C, along with lots of other competing tractors.

Brett, why didn't you tell me that last fall. there was a pretty much junk JD 1 row semi mounted snapper at our tractor clubs consignment sale last fall. It probably went to the scrap pile??

GEE if those Combine power unit screens are worth that much, I better get mine off of the scrap pile.
