In Reply to: Corn Sheller posted by FC Andy on August 21, 2011 at 17:45:53:
I have one of those old corn shellers that my dad had bought at a farm sale years ago. I then bought it at his farm sale. One year my dad planted popcorn from free seed he got from the seed corn salesman. Well, he put it in the two row planter boxes and ended up planting 4 rows quarter mile long. He just went out with the corn picker and picked the popcorn and we got a wagon load. We shelled all that popcorn with this hand corn sheller and ended up with way too much popcorn. Everyone got popcorn for Christmas that year and years to follow. Anyway, after I had it for a few years I decided to rebuild it. The shafts were badly worn, so I bought new shafting and had the side castings bored out to accept bronze bushings. That was not the thing to do. I spent hours shimming those side castings so I could turn the corn sheller. Apparently, originally there must have been quite a loose fit of the shafts in those side castings. However, after all the alignment I did it now runs like a top. When I took mine apart the inside was painted green where I could see paint as the outside we had just painted some color. This one is a IH corn sheller because when I sandblasted it the insignia was slightly visible under the paint. Roger
