It is a Push Header also called a Push Harvester, or Push Binder, it is the fore runner to the straight combine for harvesting grain, it would cut the heads of the grain with 6 to 12 inches of the stem and it would travel on a canvas to an elevator on left side of the machine and the elevator would load it on a wagon and you would take the loaded wagon to the threshing machine and fork it in therefore saving all the work of shocking bundles and picking up the bundles, they were used in areas where they had no use for the straw. Is the seat still on it and the platform where you stood? Two teams of horses would push this, also where are you located?
 
I looked again and I see the seat is there. What are you going to do with machine? The manufactures name should be in the platform below the seat
 
Kevin,Thanks for the info,I have never seen anything like this. It is just out side Laredo Tx. on a buddy"s hunting lease.
 
Next time you go out there walk up to and look at Drivers Platform that is located below the seat and see what name is cast in platform and let me know please, Thanks, Kevin
