I bought an old New Idea 1 row corn picker at an auction a few weeks ago. Last evening I had a fellow from the northwestern part of the state (Ohio) called me wanting to know if it is in fact a #7. I can't find any data plate on it at all and he needs the snapping roll driveshaft off it. I'm wondering if any other model shaft will work on his if this one isn't a #7. I haven't owned a corn picker for 30 years or longer and I never was very sure of what parts would fit each other. I'd hate to tell him the wrong model and have him drive all this distance. Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated, I can't get down there to look at the shaft cause I'm pretty much housebound with this right hip replacement. Keith
