In my travels the other day I was out in the Ranch Country north of Congress Az.Parked by the side of the road in a Ranch Yard was a Case Seperator or Threshing Machine which ever you prefer. It had a large platform which I figure was for bagging Grain as a Seat was also evident.A Slide with Wooden Slats was attached to the Platform which I figure was for the Bags to slide to the Ground. What got my attention was the Bundle Conveyor went all the way to the ground as if it was towed from Shock to Shock and the Bundle Pitcher went along with the Machine to each Shock and pitched the Bundles onto this Conveyor and they were fed into the Seperator.The Chassis under it had heavy Cast Wheels with Hard Rubber Tread and the Hitch was sort of offset.Was this set up a Factory original or was it a custom modified unit. I am familiar only with stationary Seperators. I could not determine how it was powered. It had the regular large Belt Pulley but no Motor Platform. Any one ever seen a Seperator similiar?

Well a Shock sweep makes very good sense. I have never seen such so was not aware it existed. My Dad and others all used flat Racks to haul the bundles. The Straw Stacker at home was near the Barns and the Straw was baled with a stationary Case Wire Hand tied Baler. Those fellows had a terrible job.I will look around the Ranch Yard for a Sweep next time I am up there. I wonder if the Saquaro Ranch Museum in Peoria Az. would be interested in this machine? Would be a good Project for the Mile Hi Engine Club at Prescott Az. to under take. Thanks for your input Fellows. John C.

Tim(nj) is right on about the way the bundles got to the separator. My Dad did the tractor sweep work on the crew that he was part of. Also stationary separators that I was familiar with never had motors on them. They all were powered by a separate steam engine or tractor by a long flat belt.

It was probably still stationary, but was used with a shock-sweep instead of wagons. Shock-sweeps were mounted on front of a tractor (I"ve only seen pictures of JD models, I"m sure Case had them too) and delivered a pile of bundles on the ground in front of the thresher, hence the low conveyor.
