Brings back a sort of 1 time memory for me. Over 50 years ago, I was no more than 5 years old, Dad had the Wallis 12-20 belted to a Massey Harris grinder with the 100x6 belt.I do not know what the feed was (probably oats) he ground it to dust (provender he called it) to feed a few hogs. Carried to the barn in steel 5 gal buckets. He had to use 100 ft belt to clear the door sill as the granary was elevated, the grinder sat about 8 ft inside and the Wallis had a low belt pulley.The grain was hand shovelled into a hopper on the second level, the one day I remember the down pipe from the hopper came loose and started to drop into the grinder, wow dad could move fast when needed lol. The granary still stands mostly dry storage for junk but an occasional gravity box of corn gets stored, the grinder is still there propping up some junk, the Wallis is still on the farm in running condition, at that time it was just 40 yrs old. Thank you for bringing back one of my earliest farm memories.
