McCormick Horse Drawn Corn Picker

[Kevin Happke]

I woould like to compile a list of owner of the Deering - McCormick Deering Horse drawn corn picker built from 1907 to 1929, note you could also buy a tractor hitch for this picker...In the list I would like to include restored pickers, pickers still in their work clothes to pickers in need of restoring to parts picker. Just a note also I have some new old stock parts for this picker.....Please add a reply and tell us what condition your picker is in, and if you don't mind where you are located, contact info.
At the present time I am in the process of buying a picker that needs to be restored and is missing the elevator, I worked with one of these picker that is in original working order, Thankyou

I'd say there are about 150 of them within 30 miles of me and another 200-250 parts machines. All the Amish here are still using them.
 

[Kevin Happke]

So where are located? Would you have a number I could call for parts?
 

[Bret4207]

In Northern NY. I don't know who you'd call for parts other than BW Macknair maybe.
 

[Kevin Happke]

So would you have his number? Also do you have any amish contacts in that area and if So would you have an address? Thanks
 

[Bret4207]

I suggest you google BW Macknair for the number.

I'm not sure what you're doing- are you trying to create a registry, sell parts you have or buy parts you need? Farm Collector Magazine, Small Farmers Journal and Rural Heritage may also be able to help you. All 3 available at TSC.

Are you two talking about the same machine? I wouldn't think there would be that many of the ground-drive PICKERs left. I have seen lots of McCormick BINDERs still in use, though.

Yea i only know of one ground driven Mcormick corn picker. Who ever owns it brings it to Rantoul. Sounds to me like somebody got pickers and binders mixed up.
 

[Bret4207]

You guys may be right. I know of BINDERS, not pickers. Sorry if you were looking for pickers, my bad.
