Ours was a 6 inch from the 60's. Not sure of the brand. It had one of the big 8 horse briggs engines with the rope to wind around the pulley. I remember thinking it was odd because the engine drove a belt (that you could disengage) and the driven pulley had a black flexible drive shaft attached that looped around and went to the top where a belt drive the flighting. I thought it was so fascinating that it spun while curved. I never thought about it being like a speedometer cable.
It seemed like the engine was about 10 feet off the ground. I would bring in a load of wheat with the Grain-o-Vator on the Farmall H. I had a bucket to stand on to turn on the fuel to the engine and wind the rope. I jumped off the bucket and pulled the rope. It usually started first time. Then engage that belt and run back to the tractor and start the auger wagon. I had been warned so many times about making sure I watched it in case that auger died. If I would have overflowed the hopper I would have been dead meat. I sat on that H with my foot on the clutch pedal until it was empty. Then shut off the fuel on the auger and take off. I was 8 at the time.
