Allis Chalmers WD 45 with a Dearborn one row corn picker

[brian93ist]

corn looks a little green

Have much trouble with shelling in the snapping rolls? I never really got to observe on ours or the neighbors if the rotating bar in it caused trouble or not?

[b1cow]

Depends on moisture content. Not so much if it's a little wet. I can adjust by adding or removing the snapping roll lugs or by moving the snapping rolls closer or farther apart. If I remove lugs, I start at the front leaving the rear ones to make sure trash doesn't plug the rolls.

[tim52160]

I meant the rotating bar above the snapping rolls that is supposed to help in snapping ears off the corn.

[b1cow]

Never any trouble with it, it just does it's thing. Keep arms & legs out of there.

does it leave the cobs whole?... doesn't take the corn off? Cool tractor!

[b1cow]

The Wood Brothers picker removes the ear from the stalk and then removes the husk from the ear --- delivers cob and corn to the trailing wagon. They don't remove the grain from the cob. I grind the cob along with the grain for my cows.

The WD 45 was the first Allis Chalmers available with power steering. Does that one have power steering?

[b1cow]

No, This one did not. I sold it not long after I made the video as I had trouble getting on & off the tractor. Otherwise, a good old tractor.

[TylerDelapProduction]

cool we have a allis c

[b1cow]

Allis C was a good tractor. Allis Chalmers must have sold a 200 thousand of those !

[Penguisto]

Hey Lewie how long have you had Allis Chalmers WD 45?

[b1cow]

I bought it last spring & sold it last week.
