Those were simpler times.

When I was in High School, (early 60s) Dad had a #101 picker that we mounted on a '43 B. It took forever to get a wagon load, but in all reality it was a good little picker.
Good photo, brings back a flood of memories.

A beautiful picture, I'd go back anytime...

Great pic! Sure beat the alternative. Most won't remember how it was done "before" the picker.

first gear was a load but the little B just pop them off! corn yielded 260 bushels shelled dry. The little picker didn't miss a beat! I only picked 3 row a 1/2 mile long

Well I grew up doing that and it was indeed a simpler time. I also enjoyed the meals when I helped the neighbors shell later on in the winter. But I sure do like today's warm cabs and shelled corn that flows freely when the gate is opened.
