Looks good. Kinda fun to have around even if it doesn't get used much. I've only used mine once at the fall show here and I had to slip the hand clutch a lot on the 45. The corn was about 180/acre though.I think it would look better behind my CA. I might even try it behind the WC one of these days.

Yikes.  Lots of shelling going on there.  Can you set the snapping rolls to be less agressive?

 I've watched all kinds of rigs at our "working fall show"http://ae-ta.com/ and in today's corn, shelling on the butt end of the cob is very common. If the corn is 20% or less, the stalks of today tend to snap harder than 1950's corn so some shelling occurs before the ear is snapped off. There looks to be shelling elsewhere on this corn which could be caused by the cross auger if the corn is real dry. The only fix for that is to use a different picker with an elevator to move it to the opposite side of the machine. 
 I don't know enough about set-up on the Allis picker to tell by looking at the ears if it could be set up better. I know on my Wood Brothers the snapping rollers can be adjusted for speed and width and the Wood Brothers has a spiral beater bar that helps knock the ears off. Charlie

I wouldn't worry about shelling by the auger too much. At least what the auger shells makes it to the wagon.

I had the opportunity to buy one in not nearly as nice condition about 15 miles away.  The owner is a junk dealer from the Midwest and laughed at my $150 offer, wanted $500 for it, said he could sell it easily back east.  I was willing to go maybe $300 or $350 but decided to wait a while.  I drove past his place a couple weeks ago, it's gone, guess he got close to what he was offering.  Oh well, at least at the asking price it wasn't going to China.

He probably scrapped it. Most junk dealers around here will walk over people offering them $100 for something to get $50 sending it to China. Doesn't make good sense but some junk dealers aren't known for being smart.

It was normal for pickers to shell when we first started in the fall until the rolls developed a "polish" and then they would slow down considerably. With the rust or "dirtiness" of setting over the winter and summer they were simply too aggressive. The other thing was when the rolls wore there is spirals leading up to small "cups" which were designed to grab the stalk and pull it through snapping the ear off. When these cups wore, we welded them up,not usually trying to "lay" to nice of a bead,but rather to make them more aggressive. This also caused shelling until they "shined" up! With the start of combines and faster ground speed it became more practical to use stripper plates and rolls with replaceable "knives"(flat plates with no spiraling). And shelling was a little less of a problem, because the ear was snapped off quicker and strippers could be set to keep the ear from the rolls better. Hope this helps to understand why shelling occurs. For the most part after 50-75 acres the pickers will slow down on shelling,but, who has that much ear corn to pick today. 
You don't really have to be smart if you know who is!

OUR SCRAP DEALER HAD GOLF CART LIKE ALLIS BUT NOT AN ALLIS, THOUGHT IT MIGHT WORK FOR SOME PARTS IF NEEDED. IT WAS ALL MOSS COVERED. I ASKED WHAT HE WANTED FOR IT & HE SAID $250. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T WANT THE BATTERYS. HE SAID THATS THE PRICE I CAN GET FOR SCRAP WITHOUT THE BATTERYS. DIDN'T KNOW SCRAP FIBER GLASS WAS WORTH THAT MUCH. I THINK HE THOUGHT HE HAD A SUCKER.
