What is this Hammer-mill and the Other thing?

RTR · Apr 13, 2020

Does anyone know anything about the 2 items pictured? I know one of them is a hammer mill and I did see a tag on one with New Holland on it. Otherwise, I don t know anything about either piece. Please help!

First picture, bottom/smaller unit looks like a corn sheller.

They are both hammer mills, the green one is a smaller version without the dust collector. On the red one, I never saw one that split into a Y, not sure why, unless it was mounted on top of a storage bin and feed dropped out the bottom into a bin. My best guess. Chris

I hope, and assume the NH tag is on the red, complicated machine? Because, the hammermill with dust collector/bagger is identical to the later model David Bradley my uncle had. I have saved the remains of it for parts. My grandfathers/fathers older model is still in working condition. I have converted it to PTO, and have screens for it.

My first guess on the complicated machine, the likes of which I have never seen, was corn sheller. But I'm wondering if it's for processing some crop I'm not familiar with? Hopefully, again, that's the NH, and the company should be able to come up with info on it.

I'd be split into a "Y" for bagging. Bag under each side with a flap in the middle to select which bag gets filled. Fill one bag and while the other is filling you put another bag on the first one.

Is the first picture an MM Hammer mill? I used to use a slightly larger
version as a schoolboy, powered by the pulley on a Fordson Major Diesel or a
Field Marshall, to mill barley for cattle and pig feed.

From what I remember the MM had fixed hammers and we also used it for chaff
cutting. I once put a pitch fork through it when the fork got stuck in a
wedge of straw. :0(

The spouts are for bags one fills up while some unfortunate soul that likes to eat dust ties the other bag and moves it out of the way.Just like a bagger on a combine.Spent a good amount of time on an AC combine with a bagger in my youth,barley is the worst.

The Y does not look like it has a diverting flap. May have had one and looks like there is a shaft boss/outlet for one.
The Y outlet does not look bag friendly with the flanges.

The feed ramp with holes in it.....appears to share the drum with the the other feed ramp/chute.
But the opening at the perforated ramp looks quite small. Maybe for stalks. That side also appears to have a seperate discharge via the blower under that ramp.

My vote is the rusted little one looks to be a corn sheller, red one is a hammer mill.

Smaller greenish one is a hammermill and the red one is a corn sheller--same as my david bradley but this one has bagger and an extra air system.My david bradley just has the fan on the lower part that blows out husks and chaff while the empty cobs come out over the screen on the opposite end from the drive pulley.

Smaller green one is definitely a hammer mill. It has a red dust collector attached, but the upper elbow pipe is missing.

I did a search for New Holland Sheller and found some similar to the large red machine that were said to be a combination sheller grinder.

I have that piece of pipe in my truck from when I moved them home. My grandfather and uncle have owned both for At least 40 years or more and they haven t been used at least that long. We got them from a barn on a piece of property they own that they recently cleaned up for a niece to build a house. They used them to process feed for their chickens. All they know about them is that they worked back then. Now they are a little rough because they were sitting in the edge of a dirt floor barn for so long. I would like to restore both if I can indentify what brand and model they are. They might be for sale; but right now I m not sure about that.

Looks like you have enough to start raising chickens. Stan

Here's a Case version of the
hammermill. 1940s era. Many
companies back then copied each
others designs pretty close.

I really don't think the red one is a corn sheller unless it is th most complicated one I ever saw. How about a barley dehuller , way to many
returns on that thing. hopefully you can find a tag somewhere on it. With the vast knowledge of our group someone should know.
