Looks like a corn picker attachment for a WD or WD45. Maybe?  |

Looks like some pretty good sheet metal for a 33 picker. For sure keep. AaronSEIA

| If you can find someone that needs/wants it then save it. I tried for several years to sell/give away some snap coupler equipment. People kept telling me they were comming after it, but never showed up. Most of it went to a consignment auction. |

If you don't find a corn picker that needs it... look for a partner, and you've got feet for giant suit-of-armor for an Allis Chalmers Knight... ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |

Those look to be in pretty good shape. You have to remember; "They don't make this stuff anymore". Somebody will want it. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

Ted, "Somebody will want it." about 2 days after it is scrapped cut crushed or torched ... Got several pickers but the estra parts pickers don't have snoots as nice as these are... ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not.

Between the swap meet in Missouri [March} and the swap meet at Hutch [July] I would think someone would want . Something small that can be thrown in the back of the truck would not take much to hand it off to someone on here . GOTO's are also great opportunities to transfer parts all over the country . I did not walk 15 feet from my truck at one Mo. swap meet and someone bought a D-19 Muffler I had that I wanted to get rid of. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

Scrap it! Everyone will say save it (except me) or that they would take it off your hands as long as you deliver. If it were mine I’d junk it but I don’t allow stuff to sit around. ------------- Orange & Silver still earnin their keep on the farm: R62, Series IV D17 nf, 185, 6080, 6080 fwa, 220, 1968 D21, 7045, DT240. |

| I lucked out years ago and found someone to take my picker parts. Folks say save it and I have for years now it's time to clean up. Put it on the next load to the crusher. |

| I also have a shed full of working Allis items. I have invited many who have an interest to see it. A few have but most don't. Parts that I have saved for years are now in the pile. |

| I would say they are worth more to someone than what you can get for scrap right now. |

Find a ten year old kid. Have them take a photo and post it on Craig's List, Facebook Market Place or Ebay. Better to make some money on old parts than send to salvage. |

| Just my opinion, since you asked, save them. Someone, sometime will want them. |

If you save it and eventually give/sell it to someone you will have a good feeling; and you probably gained another friend for life. Herb(GA) |

| Pat The Plumber is right about swap meets. You'll likely find a buyer there. Ted is correct in saying that once it's gone it's gone and they aren't going to make any more of them. |

| I am in favor of saving. I have saved for more than 30 years. I sacked, pushed, rebuilt, sold, traveled and stored. It's time to pass the torch. If you want to save it, please save it at your place. I look at things different these days when I remember friends my age that are dead and the mess some have left for the family to clean up. |

Fred said: "Is it worth your time to save something you will spend time giving away." Everyone who has children, by deed, says yes. It comes in virtually every form, which is why it's called 'legacy'. If it were not for those that saved, we would not have what we have today.
