IH cotton pickers in the field - 14A, 416, and 782
Переглядів 3,6 тис.Місяць тому
I'm finally able to get my old cotton pickers out of the barn and into the field! It was a hot August day with the beautiful sight and smell of snow white cotton. Doesn't get much better. The stars of the show are an IH 14A (1956) powered by a Super C (1951), an IH 416 (1965), and a Case/IH 782 Series II (1987). See my video prior to this one if you want more information on these machines.

Planting soybeans with the Farmall Super C and John Deere planter (2024)
Переглядів 1,4 тис.5 місяців тому
I decided to try something different and planted soybeans this year. Using the same 1953 Super C that has appeared in many of my other videos and my John Deere Model 18 planter (some might say, "a Deere in the rear"). And through the magic of time lapse photography (or maybe procrastination in getting the video uploaded), the end of the video shows the beans up already.

I two small machines back in the day a 403 and a JD 4400
Are those the same beans you cultivated with the 100?
Yes they are.
@@rustyrelicsranch that’s really cool and neat. Doing it all like it’s 1970. Keep up the good videos please
Thanks! Yes sir, I intend to for another season at least.
403's were fairly popular in my area the were equipped with a 4 way leveling system. Two cylinders on the back and another single towards the front.
Sounds like a hillside special. The land in this area is flat as a tabletop.
Nature's wonders, captured beautifully
Thanks for watching.
i had a love bar on a 403 my beans were solid seeded and wanted to hang on the end of the bar, i wished i would have planted in rows looks like is better
I don't know what a love bar is. Googling it was a mistake!
@@rustyrelicsranch its a brand name for a floating bean bar made in the 60s and early 70s
One more payment and it’s mine 😂 looks great 👍
Ha! Thanks!
I had 403 but it was an older model. Good ole combine.
I agree.
This video is such a great reminder to live in harmony with nature
I try. Thanks for watching.
looks really clean, and as usual the production quality of the video is top notch...still waiting for the blooper video :)
Thanks, David. And, I'll keep that in mind. The best one that didn't get filmed was when I forgot the unloading auger was extended and ran it into the back of the other combine.
Enjoy the older equipment reminds me of the farm days of the late 50’s and 60’s when I was young in SE Missouri.
Thanks for watching!
Looks like Texas but could be wrong.
You are correct. Near El Campo. Southwest of Houston.
@@rustyrelicsranch ok had a friend years ago in south Texas, my grandfather had a non cab Massey and it was a cream puff and ended up in Mexico. If you don't mind spending a few bucks run avgas and you will never have issues with carb and rotten fuel.
I use non-ethanol gas along with Sta-bil. I can get it here at the local Co-Op. 90 octane.
You found an old cream puff,and it was taken care of.
I did, and it was. The original owner has passed on, but he wrote notes all over this machine and several sticky notes in the cab indicating various instructions and what service had been done and what was needed before the next season!
That was the combine of the day. Don’t remember many of them burning down not much plastic on them
Right. Can't think of anything plastic. Years ago, had a 915 catch fire from bean dust. Battery exploded. Saved the combine though.
Sounds quiet in the cab! No beeping, bells and whistles going off! The combine did an excellent job! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Jeff! Yes, too old for most of that stuff. It has a horn that goes off in the cab if the tailings elevator stops, but that's it. Scared the hell out of me the first time it went off because I didn't know it had that! Turned out to be a bad wire connection. By the way, it may have been quieter, but I had the window open because the A/C isn't charged up!
IF you did not know any better you would swear it was brand new the way it runs .
It's been well maintained and preserved.
That one row was moving on. I’m 56 now . I remember my Dad and the crew going to Mississippi and bringing back 4 or 5 416 Internationals sometime in the 70s . They drove them right across the I-55 Mississippi River bridge back to Arkansas. They pulled them in the shop and went through them, new spindles , doffers and moisture pads set the bar height the doffers and moisture racks and all the other work that goes into it and went to the field and picked cotton.They picked a lot of cotton with those pickers on Joe Draces farm. Seemed like he had a 699 JD and an old 99 JD also.My brother would get on that old 99 after school and pick sometimes until 11 o’clock at night or later. He was still Valedictorian of his class , something I seemed to be more proud of than he was and still am proud to tell that story. One year I remember it got really muddy before they got the cotton out and they ended up picking it while the ground would freeze at night. They’d go to the field at midnight and pick til the ground thawed out then do it again. I hadn’t thought of that in years. Thanks for posting your video!
I'm also a Texas Farmall collector. How would I go about contacting you to swap stories?
Hi Claud. Come on out to the big tractor show, tractor pull, and threshing demonstrations in Temple, TX on October 5th. Hosted by Texas Early Day Tractor & Engine Association. I'll be with the IH Collectors Club under the big red & white tent. Can't miss it.
I remember growing up and stomping down cotton from one of these cotton pickers with my sister and cousins 😊 I remember the parents yelling at us to stay to one side of the trailer when the new load came in. Oh, good times. Do you remember that, David? It muat have been 20-25 years ago now
Hi Kurt. Thanks for watching and commenting! But I think it's been more like 30 years!
@@rustyrelicsranch No, it couldn't be. That would make me old! :)
Good job 👍 what kind of paint did you use on the super c? Your painting looks nice and blends in with everything nicely
Thanks! That's the look I was going for, but I would not use that paint on a full restoration. It was Tractor Supply paint. It goes on shiny, but doesn't take long for it to lose that shine and look more like a semi-gloss or satin.
@@rustyrelicsranch thanks for the reply and information! I am from Minnesota and it was really cool to see you explain how they work and see them in the field working too! Take care
That’s really neat. I wish you would put out more videos 😊
I was the IH rep in CA when the 782 was released in 1978 here - lots of challenges on series I production issues. Many good memories of watching them pick 2-3 bale cotton on the west side - most cotton is now gone from CA due to lack of water and environmental issues. Good video - most enjoyable.
Thank you,Philip. Appreciate your insights. Good to hear from someone on the "inside".
I enjoyed this , it is good to see these old cotton pickers doing their job in the field .
Thanks! I enjoyed making it happen.
I planted 16 rows of cotton. I wish you lived closer. I really enjoyed both videos. Thanks for doing them.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I PUT MANY HOURS IN ON A 782!!!!!!!!
I wish I could've had more video with it, but that hydraulic leak ended its day early.
Very neat! I’ve never seen a cotton picker in person.
Thanks! I assume you're up North, out of cotton country. August is prime picking season if you're ever down this way.
Great video our dad would have loved to seen it we have his one row picker it a m 12h on a farmall m love watching your videos.
Thanks, Stephen. So would my dad. Cotton harvest was my favorite.
That one row picker brings back memories. Grandpa had the exact picker. I remember riding on the water tank. I was around 5 years old. I'm 52 now. He tied a rope from the umbrella to the basket frame because I'd fall asleep up there. Good Job!
Great memories. I remember riding on my dad's 2 row machine when I was 5.
Make me think about Dad telling story of Grandpa when he first had a cotton picker pick. Told the kids to go pick the cotton the picker left. After so awhile he heard it wasn't worth it. Nice video@@rustyrelicsranch
had to be cool having all 3 run side by side....all you hard work...looked really good....
Thanks, it was!
Nice video, very informative, cool seeing the different era's of cotton pickers. You've done a great job getting them ready to pick cotton! 👍
Thanks 👍
David, great video, this might be my favorite one so far. Super job, love seeing those machines working. Shoutout to the camera operator, she done good!😁
Thanks, Jon! It's my favorite too. She did so many that is was difficult to decide which ones to include.
Looks they all did an excellent job in picking! Great job in keeping these old pickers working! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you too!
I love watching those old machines work. Thanks for sharing!
I liked the video, you have done a lot of work, they look really good. Say hi to your videographer for me.
Thank you! Will do!
Hope all will have lots of cotton to pick! One question does vacuum run off of the PTO?
Yes, on the 14A. The fan turns in the opposite direction of the PTO so the belt runs with a 180 degree flip in it.
Back in July, I was at the Southeast Old Thresher's Reunion in Denton, N.C. and saw a Farmall MCH that was made for a cotton harvester. I looked like a Farmall MV high clearance tractor with a single front wheel that was nearly waist high on me.
It sounds like that tractor was under a high drum picker. I may have seen it or one similar at Red Power in 2022.
Once upon a time, milo was prime dove and quail hunting ground because it leaves so much cover after it's harvested.
I think it still holds true, but to a lesser extent now. I now see corn and sunflowers used for that purpose.
Good cultivating tractor! Looks like you are going to have a good crop of soybeans!
Thanks, Jeff. It has been a fairly wet summer and they're using it.
I remember sitting on the fender when I was a kid while my dad was doing this. I thought it was so cool on the first pass down. Those busters were the only plows that I didn’t plow with. I finally tried it once in high school, and my rows both wide and narrow, 😂. We actually had a B and a C. I started driving the B when I was three years old. My dad showed me how to drive it, and I fell in love with it. He turned me loose in a field to disc,…and he left me to go do other work on our farm. The C had all of the plows for it,…a disc, 2 row busters, planters with fertilizer box, front and rear cultivators, a shredder, and a four wheeled farm trailer. The B had a middle buster that we never used. We pulled the disc and shredder with it sometimes. We had a John Deere sickle mower that we towed behind it for cutting hay. As a kid,…that was all I ever wanted to do. I loved spending my Saturdays out there as well. I sure do miss it sometimes. Leonard
That sounds like some very fine memories!
@@rustyrelicsranch yeah, it really was. The tractors are all broke down. But we still have all of the plows, minus the rusted planter boxes.
Grew up as a farm kid with my dad and grandpa using a gleaner e. It was a two row head also. I think dad spent as much time swapping out those greaseless bearings as he did anything else during the harvest! He had a 5 gallon pail of those little bearings! I think he could about do it blindfolded! I’m glad you didn’t put a bunch of music in there.
A friend of mine had an Oliver combine and it was a similar story with the sealed bearings. Thanks for watching!
Just watched this video and the 2 previous ones. Great job! You do great work VP! And great camera work from your camera operator 😁
Thanks, Jon. Now she wants a raise!
@@rustyrelicsranch Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know she had a salary, LOL!
Now there's a set-up you don't see very often! That H sounds amazing!
Thanks, Bobby. Don't see it around here anymore, but it used to be fairly common. Just last week, I saw a tractor in harvested milo pulling a stalk chopper (like the old antique ones, just much wider) and tandem disk behind it.

Your beans look amazing plus your tractor is very nice also! I have a '56 100 w/fast-hitch as well. From Sophia, N.C.
Thanks! They're almost waist high now and I just sprayed them for stink bugs and worms. Love the culti-vision!
Love your videos
Thank you, Brian!
Hey man it's a 1975 model I know because we owned it from 1978-2000 or so. Serial #12001. I know all the history on it. We bought it from the original owner. If you want to hear about it give me a holler. You bought it from our kinfolk that we sold it to.
I was half asleep last night and gave you some wrong info. It's a 1974. They made 12500 615's in 74 and the last 500 had the new quick attach head and this i s the very first one. In 75 they all had the quick attach head.
Thanks for commenting! And what a coincidence that you found it on UA-cam! (Sorry for the late response, we were dealing with hurricane Beryl and the aftermath; just got internet back). I love knowing the history as it's often as interesting as the equipment itself. Tom did say that it was a family owned machine, but I didn't know much else. I had a feeling that the 12001 serial number had some significance. It's a well worn combine and I put quite a bit of work into it, but it runs strong and did a great job in corn last year. If there's anything else you would like to share about, I'll document it. Thanks again!
Thanks a close look at Cultivision, farmall forever,
beans look good!
Thanks!
I was raised on a 100 . It was the utv of my day. It raked hay , pulled the loaded hay wagons from the field, planted skips, fed the cows, cultivated beans and corn and done all of the garden work, turning , disking, cultivating,and planting. And provided transportation for hunting! Thanks for the video in brings back memories of my grandfather. God bless.
Thanks, Kevin. All good memories!
That reminds me
Cool beans sir! Excellent job on the farmall 100.
Thanks 👍
You sure you’re not from the Carolinas . Perfect setup. Beautiful 100. God Bless
Ha! That must be a common set up there. Personally, I've been in hot South Texas all my life. Thanks for your comments!
