[AJD] 1-B Corn Sheller

[Bruce Mahr]

Greg: A friend of mine has a 1B that is cast/steel. I am going to help him 
restore it, so I would like some pics, too!
How is your son getting along? Good I hope!

>>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
