Starts and runs beautifully eh(?) Before that the trasher was steam driven, team of workhorses dragging a boiler and trasher to the next farm , each farm thrashed provided wood for the boiler, food for the workers who helped the neighbours with the annual trashing I want an old wood burning thrasher boiler, put electric generator on it and buy something electrical This laptop is powered by a turnstile

I’m curious, what is the long rod used for that he was messing with?
@Ed_StuckeyАй бұрын
It's a bundle of baling wire. Those flat blocks lying at an angle just to the left of the hopper have grooves in them. They go between each section that will be a bale and the wire is fed from one side through the groove to the other side then along the bale and back to the beginning side through the groove on the block at the other end of the bale. The wire is pulled back to the the end of the wire that has a pre-made loop in it and tied off. One wire part way down from the top and a second wire part way up from the bottom. As the bales are pushed out of the end, the blocks fall away since the wire only went through a groove. The block then is reused for more bales.

Seems like it'd have to be pulleys, or a transmission of some sort !

We have one of those old hay bailers. Lots of work. I didn't see anyone putting wires to tie the bails up. Maybe that's in part #2

Nice to see a kid who knows how to swing a pitchfork, also knows to keep his hands out of the machinery. It's safe enough as long as everyone uses common sense.

Remember doing that after school, & on week ends being dad's conscript work force, baling hay with a similar one to this Machine, except if was powered of the PTO on the tractor.. Also remember having a few stop works when someone miss timed putting the straw in & the pitch fork got broken.. Be good to have a video of it in operation some people just don't get how these things work.. Good video guys

Thanks, she usually runs pretty good. We run a little slower than they did when they were really threshing, but some of the thresher belts are kind of old.

Thanks, the D on LP was my grandpa's and the D on the threshing machine was my great-grandpa's. I learned to drive on the '47 D.
