Keeping old equipment working...

Any "old timers" that have any belt equipment that they are trying to get rid of and have it go to a good home, like a hammer mill or sheller or anything else, let me know. I'm a "semi old timer" looking to get old equipment and keep it alive and use it on the property I am fixing up for another 50 years. Thanks.

Have a McCormick silage blower, belt drive with long feeder conveyor.About 40' of pipe. Located west of Minneapolis.
 
Join the club in trying to keep the old stuff working. I keep my hobby farm as a 1950's farm with old small equipment. I am picking up a belt driven grain
roller (crusher) on Monday as a complement to my pre-war grinder. It is good fun to see the equipment being used and maintained.

What all do you have for equipment/tractors? Do you grow all your own feed? Do you have animals then? Milk?
 
All of our "newer" stuff, (though some is as old as that belted blower), uses PTO or pull behind. We had dairy cows hence the silage filling. Ran the blower with a 1955 860 Ford with pulley on the rear pto. Had the small shaft. Done with milking dairy in '70 so blower has sat in back of the shed since. Baling was hard on the pto spacer to get the small shaft up to standard so we eventually replaced the whole pto shaft with a standard size.
 
You just needed the correct adapter for the shaft, the one that bolts to the differential housing with 4 bolts and then it would nt have been hard on the PTO. Same unit that fit the 9N and 2N that I have and was used to power corn picker, combine and flail forage harvestor.
 
Navajo, it would help you find things if we at least knew what state you are in. With that name I would think you are in the west so someone here in the east would not pay any attention thinking you are too far away. I know of 2 David Bradly corn shellers that are wating to be bought. A dealer has them.

Makes sense. I live in south central Wisconson. Navajo was an airplane I flew for cargo.
 
Looking for an IH 40 table blower if somebody has one to sell. Preferably here in the NE where the cost of getting it home is reasonable.
 
I don't know if I have enough old equipment. Lets see, I have a 1934 CC Case, 1940 Farmall B 1948 Farmall H 1950 Cub Farmall, 1951 VAC Case with 3pt, and a 57 Panzer 3 wheel garden tractor. I have a 1 16 and a 2 14 IHC steel wheel plows. I have a wing disc, IHC that I bought old when I was 18 and im 70 now, used every near nearly since. A horse 8ft disc, a 2 section peg tooth harrow, a 2 row steel wheel 204 or 402 IHC corn planter that I bought when I was around 18 or 19, a 1924 Steel wheel wood box grain drill, IHC. a 3 section Brillion roller packer, a Buzz saw, a Whetmore hammermill, both run by belt, a tumblebug, a horse grader, a 3pt grader blade, a IHC steel wheel corn binder, a New Idea husker shredder, a New Idea loose hay loader, a Henry bale loader, a 1960 Case hay baler, 2 steel wheel grain wagons, a walk behind lister, 5 schovel, a hoe plow a expanding harrow EZ fertilizer spreader, a Kelly Ryan grain elevator, and short aluminum grain elevator, portable. OR used to be lol. a Brush Hog, 6ft. Hay rack made from Thresher running gear. That's about all I can think of.
 
I forgot to mention I have an IHC horse and tractor mower, and dump rake, and a JD steel wheel side rake.
 
The IH (International) 40 is a silage blower that can be run by belt or PTO. It also has a long conveyor belt table for unloading wagons from the back. It was made during the late 1950's and early 1960's. It is not much different than the model 4 that it replaced. The 40 is what was on this farm back in the 1960's so that is what I want versus any old blower.
 
The saddest part about old equipment is the old
timers won?t sell it then they die and the kids send it
all to scrap
