Auction find...moving on...

...from the press. Stopped by a consignment sale with no plan in mind and found this for a good price. I do a lot of masonry work around the place and have a larger pto mixer but it is free standing and this one replaces the wheel barrow too. Has a cylinder with JD on it. Raises it high enough to fill from rear of truck and dumps it too. Need to test it to see how much it will hold. My larger mixer is direct chain drive. This one the chain turns a rubber tire that turns the drum so I don't think it is going to be happy with me if I overload it. The pto is a little short for the 1989 Ford but I will try it on the 300U before I modify anything. Very clean unit has not seen a lot of use. Can anyone confirm make and know the model? Ever use one?

Used one with great success 3 decades ago. Our 3000 was a perfect fit. One caution. Don't allow cement dust to drift across the engine
of the tractor. Had to do an engine overhaul soon after. Air filter did not catch it all.

My uncle had a one bag mixer on the back of a I believe 8n. It over time it would knock the wheel bearings out. I remembered shoveling sand until you were almost blue in the face.

My Dad built one like that using the same type of drive system...tire rested on a pto extension, mounted on a WD45. We poured a feedlot pad for an auger feeder that he also made, same type drive...rubber covered sleeve on the drive motor.

There were two of those in our community 30 + years ago. We poured several pads and the hallway of one barn with them and got along very well. Keep a GOOD tire on it, those little tires were not designed for that kind of weight!

I have one of those which I do use quite a bit. The main problem with it is keeping that rubber tire happy. I've fantasized about making it a positive chain drive, but so far, hasn't happened!

We have/ had one similar to it. Ran setting on a roller with a car tire to run it at the base of the drum. Held a bag of cement powder and about 45 shovels of gravel if I remember correctly. Pored a lot of concrete with it. Milkhouse and parlor,barnyard and some other jobs. If the tire got wet or the mix was to dry it would stop . You then had to turn it by sticking the shovel under one of the paddles in the drum and pry it around.

I had the tire on mine filled with silicone or whatever that stuff is.
