I do know that it is a model R, but when were these made? Any help is appreciated [Reply]   [No Email]

It has a steel pulley on it, and the conveyer has a wood frame with a metal apron chain, the bottom of the blower would need a little work, I am in central MN if anyone is interested in it or I will have to sell for scrap, call 320-468-6474 [Reply]  [No Email]

It was used every year until either 1949 or 1950 when a neighbor bought a pull behind chopper. We had a 10-20 McCormick Deering tractor that was used on the Papec cutter and then used on the blower. It usually took several weeks to fill 2 large silos. May have even been 3 weeks. Using the pull behind chopper it took about 4 days. We were still in high school back then. They had a Farmall M on the chopper. Hal [Reply]  [No Email]

I remember he said he paid $200 for the cutter, inside and outside fill pipe in 1920. [Reply]  [No Email]

On Pacec I believe you invert the fist two digits to find the year. Could be the lot number and not the serial and may be the last digits instead of the first. [Reply]  [No Email]
