[AJD] 1-B Corn Sheller/Update

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

Ok, heaved my behind out of my chair and walked out into the showroom. The one we have 
above the parts counter, way up high, must be a 1B also as it is iron and what looks 
like galvanized. The lettering is faded but appears to be have been red. I'll take a 
closer look and see what's in my sales catalogs.

My son Dan had his leg rebreak two weeks ago which required another surgery. It may 
turn out to be a good thing as they straightened the leg from what it was and 
installed a rod this time. The plate had snapped in his leg. Worst thing is he has 
slid way back on the two months of rehab therapy he had been doing. His cast is off 
again and the hospital had him restart therapy today. So it's a long slow road looks 
like. thanks

Greg

>>>Dear All,
>>>I recently purchased a 1-B John Deere corn sheller. It is in very good
>>>shape, except our high humidity has taken its toll on the paint. I
>>>believe it to be an early one, and I plan to paint as such. According
>>>to spreader works catalog #62-C 1/1944, these shellers began
>>>producting in 1936. I don't have any color photos/brochures, but the
>>>black and white brochures show the decals to be dark on lighter paint.
>>>I am guessing green or red base paint, and red or black decals.
>>>Does anyone have any information on this?
>>>The later models with the QFE logo appear to be green with yellow
>>>decals.
>>> I have a very late model with origional paint that has the 1956 logo.
>>>It also has made in USA, so I suspect it might have been made for
>>>export. I doubt there was much call for them in the U S in 1956.
>>>Thanks, Richard
