Default Ford corn picker

Father in law & the my wife were walking through A field behind neigbors , they said their is a ford corn picker that has been their in the field for 20 years ,has cover over most of it, wife says is mostly red, with FORD
right on it, and has a flat belt for a discharge, i have not seen it yet, dad says it a single row unit. they talked to neigbor about it, he said it was parked here by a farmer at least 20 to 25 years ago, when the land was once used,
the farmer has past on 10 years ago. i did not know FOrd made a pull type picker, but i am not up to date on old farm equipment. Any ideas guys? if this is would be wanted by any of the FORD equipment collectors, or is this
piece headed to the scrap yard. if anyone is interested, mail me, & i will
go take a look at it more closely , myself

Probably a Dearborn sold by Ford. My brother-in-laws had a combine and it was painted red. Dick in the Finger Lake Region of NYS.

Post a picture if you can. I dont like Fords much, 'cept the A's and T's and theyre not even that high on the list, but I do like looking at pics. Pictures are worth a thousand words. And they always draw attention!
