Tom, I also think you are talking about a grain binder. (I think this is another case of calling a piece of machinery one thing in one part of the country and something else in another part of the country.) The wheels that come off are known as transport wheels. You would use a crank to lower the "bull" wheel, take off the transport wheels, and swing the pole around to put it in the work position. I have a manual in my collection dated 12-24-29 of the McCormick-Deering grain binder with type "M" or "D" binding attachment, left hand, 5, 6, 7, and 8 foot and it's not showing a model number. I think when they went to the tractor binder they were calling them "power" binders. Again with no model numbers. I have attached a link to the Wisconsin Historical Society. They are the caretakers of the McCormick family records from when they 1st went into business untill the farm machinery side of the business was sold out to Case. If I can be of further help feel free to give me a shout. My 2 bits worth, Old Iron
