Corn Picker Hubs?

A friend wanted me to post these. They appear to be picker hubs for the single front. What pickers were these used on? We did find them in the parts book for the 24 picker.

Cowman I have seen a lot of pickers in my day and have never seen one that would need a front hub like that.

Was the front snoot hooked to it to steer the snoot?

How would it raise and lower with the snoot hooked to it?

I'm confused as to why it has those shaft extensions?

That type of hub was used on the #24 picker. It had a steerable middle snoot that clipped on those hubs. I don't recall exactly how the chains hooked up but there were chains and springs to lift the snoot. Cowman you if I recall have a narrow front on one of your project H's that has picker hubs. They are a modified dust cover for the wheel bearings. You had to remove the castelated nut and replace it with a speacial split extension that tightened the wheel beading preload and had a cross bolt to lock it in place instead of a cotter pin. Then a matching dust cover with grease seal went over it using the original bolt holes. The hub extension with the groove stuck out far enough to connect the snoot..

We had an HM-24 and then the model 20 that replaced it using those for mounting the center snout worked fine never had any problems. Dad traded it off in 58 for the 2MH.
 
It should work on the 34HM-20 like i had. My hubs were for the dual front wheels. but the snout swivels and steers on those hubs and the chains went through the snout and ended on the lift arms that picked up the picking units so everything lifted at the same time.
