Why not? Height? They're not that tall. Ours had a gravity spout down from the elevator. Which meant someone had to be in the truck keeping the corn shoveled away from the spout. I was quite young when we still shelled corn, not a teen yet. So I got the easy job of being on the truck. The adults were in the corn crib.

Probably about 1967 started shelling in the field with the first self propelled combine.

Never fear, I am interested. What town?
 
D corn sheller, everyone had one back in the 60s and 70s. Good machines.

And I get it, wife was the key world, not trailer......... :)

I was told this one was bought in the early 80s and never used since that time. It sat in a shed until this past spring. They were gonna send it to scrap, but decided to try selling it instead. I turned it over by hand. The shell corn auger is rotted out under the elevator, and the ear corn elevator is full of coon leavings. I have to take a load to New London early tomorrow morning, so am headed to bed right now. I will get it unloaded tomorrow afternoon hopefully. Then I will see what it does after a greasing and hooked to the 60. If I had my B running I would use it instead.

I know you are after my Uni, Tom. Or maybe the Gleaner?
 
The E is a bigger, higher capacity machine than the D. Both built in the same time period (D 1940-1962, E 1941-1958) If I remember right, the E was advertised as able to shell 1000 bushel per hour.
 

For me the most important thing would be to have all parts on it secured. 25 years ago a door on an excavator being hauled on the interstate here in NH came off and went through the windshield of a car behind it and killed the woman driving. The truck driver did jail time.

I think the E was usually the one used when mounted on a truck. When I was growing up there were several operators in the area with truck mounted shellers. They usually also had 2 or 3 single axle grain trucks and did custom shelling and hauling for the farmers in the area. At that time all corn was picked on the ear and put in corn cribs.
 
I know a guy who worked for a guy who had a model E sheller. He said they could do 1000 bushels an hour as long as they had help moving trucks or wagons when needed so to keep the model E going.
