IH 10-C roughage hammermill

Dean in iowa · Nov 19, 2016

Acquired a McCormick model 10-C Roughage hammermill. It is different from other mills in that it has a table with a steel belt for feeding the material into the mill. Does anyone have any info on these?? Does anyone have a operators manual for it or any pictures of one? Have never seen one before. Are they rare??

Dean, Check out eBay. They have listed an IH brochure that includes that model. One of their secondary pictures shows a page featuring the 10-C. Unfortunately I deleted it from my watch list earlier today or I could give you the listing number. $25.27 IIRC. Be patient in your eBay search and something will turn up. At least it seems to for me. Good luck in your search. I tried to talk Hal into that as another project and he likewise to me.

Traveling tables were common here as we ground feed probably 3 times a week for hogs and cattle. The traveling table made it easy to add protein with the shelled corn. Our crib had self emptying shelled corn and oats so it fed gravity to the table and you just set the throat so the mill didnt plug. Later belt operated mills went bye bye in this area as electric mills replaced them thy were fully automatic they didnt process ear corn.Feeding livestock varied in those days due to area packing houses ect. I spent many hrs grinding then loading out and shoveling into the self feeders out on the pasture. We always had a couple hundred head of hogs sorted according to size in temp 2A lots hauled water and fed all summer.

There is a not so good photo of one in the "150 years of international harvester" book. It's on page 175. I have a parts catalog that shows several hammermills. The 10C mill is in there, but no photo. It looks like the feed table was an option and the parts for the feed table are listed separately.

The one I have is PTO driven. Were most of them belt driven?

I don't have anything more to add beyond what I passed back earlier via Hal. For the benefit of anyone else reading this, here is what I said earlier:

IH made them from roughly 1933 to 1958. Early on, they called it a roughage mill but later just called it a hammer mill. The basic machine was the same as the gravity hopper hammer mills but the feeder table and a few other features made them work better with roughage such as hay, corn stalks, etc. This configuration was only made for the larger hammer mills. If you go to the WHS Harvester Collection at
http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Content.aspx?dsNav=N:1167
and do a search inside the collection for “roughage mill” it will return you multiple general catalog pages with full descriptions. If you look at the early ones (1935 catalog) and the later ones (1949 catalog), you can see a lot of change in the feeder table design. That is probably the easy way to identify early vs. late. I doubt that this type mill was originally as common as the gravity hopper ones. You certainly don’t see many of them now.

It has an opening bid of $25.27 plus $3.00 shipping with a Buy It Now price of $32.86 from a seller in Danville, PA. You may also want to check with Mike Becker, the Paper Farmer, from Chippewa Falls, WI. He may be of some help via sales literature, operator's manual, setting up instructions, parts list, etc. He can be contacted via mail at 19438 County Highway 'X', Chippewa Falls, WI 54729 or phone (715)726-1942.
