A friend of mine went to India to work for a branch of his employer there. They still make a real small belt drive crusher that is run off a power unit engine and off some rear belt drive tractors. He said it was for use in rural areas to grind up rocks that are picked from fields or construction sites. He said they used tractors with rear drag buckets that sifted the stone and some front buckets were used. He told me some of them could do 40 or 50 yards a day. They use them in road improvement also to grind up roadside boulders on the spot. I used to work for and out fit as an operator the ybrought in a Komatsu portable crusher that sat on an excavator undercarriage and turntable. It had a knuckle boom to self load some rocks. I also kept a loader with it to load the 9 or 10 ton stuff then you could swing it around placing different grades of rock where you wanted it. and also dumping it into trucks. any thing from 300 pound rip rap, to surge, 3 inch, 1 1/4, and 3/4 stone. I forgot what it cost new we had one leased fo a few months

Hi Taylor, Thanks! This keeps getting better all the time. I have so many rocks around that if there was a small one available it would be nice to put it to work. There are a lot of rocks around here about 50-300 lbs., would something that size have to be broken down to put into the hopper?

Your photo shows a small(by todays standards) Jaw Crusher. These machines are still used today as the primary reduction machines in stone and mining crushing processes.Large jaw crushers can accept rocks as large as 84"x60". Via the large flywheels these machines impart tremendous force through the eccentric (Pitman).

After reading the other posts, I am sure you are all correct, but stone crushers were also used in the rock quarries to create crushed rock for roads. I am sure that such a machine is still being made today, but it would be much larger than what any farm tractor could power.

It is probably a little hammer mill for crushing lime. I have one made by Jeffry. Dont know if they are still in business but they made all different types and sizes of crushers.

Hi Robert, "Wow" That's what I wanted to see! Now if there was some way of knowing the mechanism of the inside. They probably haven't changed much through the years, and with all the rocks around here I should be able to locate one.

Hi Norbert, I just remember where that picture is. All it shows is this old McCormick Deering belted up to something that is cut off from the picture. The caption says "This McCormick Deering is belted up to a rock crusher.The fact that equipment this old can stand up to tasks such as rock crushing for hours at a time is testament to its excellent engineering." I am sorry I can't provide any more information other than this. That is why I wrote in. Thanks.
