[AT] 2 row corn picker

[John Hall]

I've got an Oliver Superior drill on steel wheels thats on Craigslist 
now. Small enough to pull just fine behind a Super A. Ready to use other 
than missing the fertilizer feed wheels. I used to use it for sowing 
wheat. If you really want to get "older" I have a grain binder and 
threshing machine---both IH. For the right price they can both be yours. 
Heck, bring a BIG truck and a wad of cash and I can set you up with a 
bunch of old stuff!
