i just bought this corn sheller at an auction this weekend and i am wondering if anyone could give me any information on it. I can make out the word PONY on one side. I mainly collect case tractors so this is a different color for me but i like nice original things like this. here are some pictures.

Zach, You made a wise purchase...From the Book, "150 Years of International Harvester" by C.H. Wendell, you purchased what appears to be in excellent condition, Keystone Pony sheller. Harvester bought out the Keystone Mfg Co., Rock Falls, IL. in 1904. These shellers were made as early as 1874 and the wooden ones like yours were replaced with all steel models in 1914. The main thing that changed during their long mfg run was the paint scheme. Seeing how yours has the IHC logo and is still wood, yours was made between 1904 and 1914. HTH
 
zach,

That's a real nice example you have....I see you amputated it's feet a little....must have had a little gangrene..hehe.

Put a twist in the fan/blower belt...you know..like an 8. It'll blow the chaff off the kernals. In the throat..where the ear goes in, there should be a wing nut on a spring loaded follower. This adjusts the throat diameter and holds the ear just tight enough for the sheller nubs to spin the ear and begin stripping the kernels off.

Four old shellers similar to yours have followed me home over the years. Folks seem to be most gung-ho over the Deere shellers....I have a 1-B and it's not my favorite.....the New Idea is! My IHC is an all steel model and my wooden framed sheller is a Hocking Valley. The HV was a derelict when I got it....a real POS! The IHC wasn't much better. But, rebuilt they work fine. In practical terms, I don't see 2 cents difference in any of them. They all work as advertised. I put electric motors on all of mine.....the Deere came with a factory motor mount.
