Hi all,
I bought and old hand crank sheller today, it's an all metal one, metal frame with galvanized sheet metal on it. I am going to fix it up and shell my popcorn with it. Put an electric motor on it, fix a busted casting, and I'll have to make a new feed trough for it. I found the old IHC emblems in some of the castings, which is cool, I just stumbled upon it at a yard sale and didn't care what brand it was as long as it was an all metal one. My question is this- I found traces of yellow paint on the side behind a casting I have to repair, and some yellow on the inside of it, too. Looks like a cub cadet yellow. All of the IH ones I've seen are red, is it possible that this one could have always been yellow? I want to paint it up while I'm working on it. The flywheel on the side is different than the others I've seen, also, I think it may be a little older than the ones I've seen. Sorry to ramble, I'd gust like to know if anybody remembers anything about these old corn shellers. -Andy
