I found this single row Farmall SM cotton picker along side the road in Southern California cotton country. The owner is a cotton farmer and keeps it for show. The picker head is missing and I assume being repaired.

[quote="Mike CA"](quoted from post at 08:26:19 12/21/07) [quote="Jess in CA"]i'am still collecting old 1 row cotton pickers[/quote]

There is an old '42 (I think he said) M 12 H about a mile down the road from me in Visalia. Looks complete as far as I can tell. Owner parked it about 20 years ago after his heart attack he said. I posted a thread on it a while back. Let me see if I can dig it up.

[/quote]Hi Mike, we had talked about that picker earlier this year, remember i had thought you were from madera?

[quote="Preston Matthews"](quoted from post at 08:09:47 12/21/07) Send me an email, I have an good collection of pictures of experimental and early production cotton pickers.

Our farm is 30 minutes south of Memphis, my farther said Harvester Co. would bring down pickers quite often and would not say what they had changed but wanted it run just like it was a "production run" picker.[/quote]

would love to see the photos, Jess

Howdy everybody,
O.K. this is all about 1 row IH cotton pickers, Lot of people are familiar with the main basic models but there was a lot of 1 row models made over the years, here is over 20 of them, and no doubt i have probally left a couple out, & when i list years i might not be 100% correct as some models were sold concurrently with each other. i use these abbriviations - L/D=low drum, H/D=high drum, D/F=double fan, S/F=single fan,

(B 10 L) (only 10 made) 1943-4 mounted on a B tractor, L/D, S/F, 10 spindles per bar. (H 10 H) 43-4 mounted on a H tractor, H/D, S/F. (M 10 H) mounted on a M tractor, H/D, S/F. (M 11 H) 1945 mounted on a M tractor, H/D, S/F. (M 12 H) 1946-early 50's mounted on a M tractor H/D,S/F. (H-14) late 40's early 50's mounted on a H tractor, L/D, S/F. (M-14) late 40's early 50's mounted on a M tractor, L/D, S/F. (M-120) late late 40's early 50's, mounted on a M tractor, H/D, D/F. (M-114) mounted on a M tractor 1950's, L/D, D/F. (4M-120) mounted on a 400 tractor, 54-56

H/D,D/F. (34HM 114) 54-56 mounted on a H or M tractor, L/D,D/F. (120-A) late 50's mounted on a M tractor, H/D,D/F. (120 A-L) A H/D,D/F model on a standard tractor not raised. (114-A) mounted on a H or M tractor, L/D,D/F. (320) late 50's early60's mounted on a few different tractors, D/F,H/D. there were 2 types of (314) models both L/D, the D/F version looked like the 320, the S/F model looked like a later built C-14. (C-14) mounted on a super C tractor 54-56, L/D,S/F. (2C-14) mounted on A 200 tractor 54-56, L/D,S/F. and there was a (2CK 14) model but i am not sure how it fit in, Maybe on a 230 tractor?. (500) (501) (502) all built in mid to late 60's these 3 came in several combinations All D/F, (500 was L/D, (501 &502) could be L/D or H/D, 1 rows were discontinued after these models, these were the last of the 1 rows. i didnt really spell check everything here, i hope its interesting to you all.

what you have here is a later built (single blower) M 12 H high drum picker, earlier M 12 H models had a wider tapered discharge chute at the top of the chute where it goes into the basket. later models had a evenly squared chute like in the photo.
howdy "cotton picker" the 220 was a 2 row picker, and like Harold H mentioned the 120 was a double blower model.

Cotton Picker,

The 120 had dual fans, the M-12 had single fan. This looks like a M-12 to me. Both 120 and M-12 are 20 spindles high.

Cotton Picker said: (quoted from post at 09:37:01 12/19/07) Looks like a Model M-120 cotton picker. 120 meaning single fan, 20 spindles per drum high-drum. There are still some around here in the Mississippi Delta but it is sad none are being restored.

My bad Mr. Harold. I was thinking the single fan was a 120 and a dual fan was a 220. I asked my father and told me I still have a lot to learn,

Maybe this picture will help with the model of the picker.

I know of three MCHs on the south side of Bakersfield, CA. They are fairly complete but sadly neglected. I think they could be bought for scrap value. I think all picker heads are there. He also has alot of MCH parts in outside storage. Maybe inside too.
