Sandwich corn sheller


My late 1920's Sandwich six hole corn sheller.  I bought the sheller out of Kansas almost ten years ago and cleaned it all up, and rebuilt the drag sections.  I have been taking the sheller back to Sandwich for the Sandwich Engine Club show held the last weekend in June.  As well as a few other local shows.   The drag sections took the most work, the original wood held up long enough to transfer all measurements to new, and all the original iron was still there.  The main sheller was completely stuffed full of straw from pack rats, I removed almost three barrels of straw, and debris from inside the sheller.  After several tubes of grease everything was turning again.  The sheller still does a nice job cleaning corn.

Very nice restoration. Have you any videos of it working?

No I don't, just lots of pictures.  I have set the sheller up and have run roughly 2000 bushels through it.  Not all at once, but in roughly 100 bushel increments.  I have been setting it up at three shows a year.

Very nice to see the old machine restored to usefulness. I enjoyed the pics, would enjoy more.
