I picked up ($100) a Case VAC with a (red) Ford one row mounted corn picker on it.It's been sitting for 25 years,engine is dry(?)stuck.The tires hold air!Tractor is straight,clean.Picker needs lots of TLC.Going to town to get some acetone and ATF.Hopefully it will free up!.However,most likely it will be nothing but yard art........LOL

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

A little reminder for auctions. It may be a real bargain, but what if nobody else bids.

No auction,private sale.Bought from a widow to help her out.

This is what followed me home (literally!) a couple weeks ago. It's a 1952 6A. The green parts are still green and the orange parts are still orange, so it obviously has not spent a lot of time outside. Turns out it needs a few more things than I originally thought, (isn't that always the case?) but I'm hoping to get it back into running order.

Are those three International trucks lurking back there? The one next to the garage door about 1962, 1963? The one closer from the late '50's? That fella back there to the right early '40's?

We had one of those pickers when I was growing up. We put it on an Allis WD45 diesel. Dad always kept it in the barn next to where we milked cows. After he bought a pull type New Idea he never used the Ford again so it just sat there and rusted from the moisture the cows put in the air. My brother hauled it out about 5 years ago when he put in a new parlor, I thought I would haul it out here and put it on my 45D, but when I looked at it everything under the snout was rusted away....I did get the manual for it tho, with the insert on how to mount it to an Allis.

They pick much cleaner than the old Fords...

You're close. The one on the far left is a '56 S-150. It runs and drives, but not quite roadworthy. The red one behind it is a '58 AC-150. It would run, but has a rod knocking pretty bad. I used to pull my trailer with it till that happened. The other one is a D-30. I bought it without a title, and then titled it as a '38. Not entirely sure if that's correct, but it's close. I had it running a couple years ago, but not since. All three of them got to where they're sitting under their own power.
