This is a 1930(?) originally horse drawn McCormick-Deering Wheat Binder. They were used to cut and bind wheat which was then shocked in the field where it was later picked up and taken by wagon to the Thresher. As technology progressed, the Binder and Thresher were eventually combined into one machine.
This Binder was restored by members of the Hiwassee Valley Antique Tractor and Engine Club in Cleveland Tennessee USA.

So awesome to see one going! Thank you. My grampa was talking the other day (on the phone) - about operating one of these back in the day. He has bone cancer and has been an invalid confined in his chair for over two years. I sent my Gramma this video on her cell phone so she could show him. A really special moment, especially due to the pandemic and economic challenges not having been home to the farm in over 2 years. Thank you ☺️

Great memories. Thanks. We had a Farmall H on the front and long steering wheel shaft to the tractor to the tractor steering wheel. I believe a rope and pulley operated the clutch. I was too young to operate equipment at that time but I remember those bundles coming off the binder.

In That Canola farming country as well? I live in an alpine part of Eastern Washington state - the topsoil is a few inches deep at most. We do pretty well with hay, and non irrigated wheat, as well as beef cattle. A lot of other things are tough. I've heard in some of those provinces like Saskatchewan and Alberta that the topsoil is up to 12 feet deep! Not sure if that is true or not.

Still works as good as it ever did. Now you need three good horses to pull it.

More than one operator suffered bad injury when cleaning clogged cutter bars in front on these machines when they were horse drawn and something scared the horses.

I rode a WD-45 pulling one. It had the knotter disconnected and bundle carrier removed; converted into a winrower for oats. I was 4 (?). This is the first time I've seen one work that's complete. Wish you would have shown some of the knotter working from underneath. Great video though!

Wild Ginger Farm, clearly that is a ground drive machine as there is no PTO shaft from the tractor evident.

@maxandlevi Funny you should mention that--we had a Case RC that Dad drove from the binder seat like that. As you may know, the Case had a hand clutch so he had to push the clutch in to start the tractor moving then go around and get on the binder seat, but he could stop it by pulling a rope tied to the clutch lever.

That binder needs some serious adjustments, those hand levers are for more than handy things to hang onto! Your knotter seems to be working properly but it needs more tension in the twine for a tighter sheave. Those sheaves are a joke, it would be next to impossible to stook any of them properly.

It doesn't look like it's binding. The wheat looks all loose. Does it hace twine?

Is this wheel driven or PTO?

@ronnieg6358 2 жыл бұрын

PTO obviously. Horses had a drive shaft under their tails!

@weldermaniacbob 13 жыл бұрын

The real word is STOOK.. not shock....3 on each side ...and if it is wheat,there is a cap that goes on top..depending on the length of the straw there could be more bundles used..

It has a roll of twine in the canister on the back

@austral7634 4 жыл бұрын

@@austinwagoncompany Yes, there is twine coming from the canister but the sheaves do appear to be loose. Perhaps an adjustment to the knotters would be in order?
