The flambeau one looks like a long hopper blower and not a filler unless it has knives on a flywheel. A blower was for field cut silage a silo filler cut up corn bundles and blew up the silo. A case silo filler or pull type cutter is built so the knives contact the shear bar on the outside first this pulls the material to the center. Case said you could cut more with an axe than a scissors!
 
the Flambeau one IS a silo filler and yes it has knives on the blower wheel, I also have the pipe sections for mounting on the silo wall it came from MI
 
Do you have some pics of the cutter on the Flambeau one? I've never seen one like that before.
 
I have a Hominy (Horizon+Omni) nearly like that and the neighborhood brats decided it didn't need any glass in the windows. Also a '67 Poncho LeMans OHC-6.

As for the flambeau filler, the three farmers that I worked as a kid (12), had one of these only as a blower, all three chopped dry hay in the summer for their dairy herd, then in the fall, corn silage in the silos. I spent many days hauling from the chopper in the field to the Case, then had to rake the material into hopper. At least they had a bulkhead that pulled the chopped material to rear of the trailer. Cables wrapped around a pipe across the rear of the silage wagon that pulled the bulkhead to the back of the trailer. All powered from a drive shaft hooked to an old cream separator sitting by rear of the trailer.
As for the worm gear drive, my Dad took that drive and used it on a man lift, that we stiil use today to get up to the dryer fans on our Stormor roof dryer. We made the lift in 1972. Wonderful memories, worked long and hard for maybe a buck an hour, most of the time I worked as exchange labor for my father. We did not chop hay, did I mention, the rest of the summer there was hay to bale for ourselves and the three neighbors or any other neighbors that needed young help. Taught me a Iowa farm kid, a good work ethic.
