WANTED: Allis Chalmers corn picker

[allisboy]

I was wondering of anyone knew about a one row pull type corn picker that was built by Allis Chalmers. it is a model 35.

I have only ever seen one. It was very small, didn't have gathering chains, only non-powered star wheels down by the snoots. Not much of a husker on it. A local dealer had put it on his lot new and try as he might, couldn't sell it, nephew ended up running it on his farm for years. I don't know what has become of it, probably long since scrapped as the dealer is gone and the farm is in houses now.

I remember AC advertising them as a snapper in the late 50s-60s. ie- just pick the ears off, will not remove any husks. Actually, the two-row AC mounted did not have a husking bed- whatever husking that was done was by the rubber rolls that picked off the ears. Dad had the early AC picker, before the Model 33, on a WC, left most of the husks on.
