What is it? Remains of a grain binder?

Farmall plowboy · Jun 25, 2018

Corn binder, I think.

Potato digger?

That round, can looking thing on top is where the binder twine went.

Corn Binder. The drive wheel looks similar to a McCormick Deering.

The wood snouts that gathered the corn in the front are rotted away. Stalks got cut, carried vertically to the rear where they were bound with twine, and slid off the pan at the rear. Some were made with a bundle carrier, so the operator counted so many bundles made, then tripped the pedal...later those bundles were put into a shock. We filled silo with one for two years in the late 50s...Dad thought it would be cheaper than hiring the neighbor with a forage harvester. First year he pitched bundles onto the rack while I drove. Second year he built an elevator on the back so we cut and loaded in one trip. Third year we got our own chopper.

corn binder yes. Don't recall ever seeing one with the twine carrier that high. Would like to know who made it.

It looks like it may be a Osborne corn binder. The Osborne Corn Binder made in Auburn NY became the McCormick Dearing Binder. ? I think. . Old Scovy
