Shelling corn

Wasn't muddy behind my barn today so I decided to try shelling some corn. Its last falls crop and it has only dried down to 20% moisture so I can't do much at a time and get it to keep in a bin. Its been too damp of a winter instead of real winter around here. The sheller is a New Holland I found about 20 years ago in a junk yard for $20. It will shell as fast as I can shovel it and cleans a cob completely. I can do a pick up truck load in about 20 minutes. The tractor is a 43 H. It doesn't look pretty but mechanically all it needs is a tank of gas and its ready to go any time. The machine next to the sheller is a NH hammer mill. If this was 1945 I'd be bragging about what a modern farm I have. I hope the picture comes out OK.

I keep telling everyone they have taken all the fun out of modern day farming... here's more proof of that. We never had a sheller like that, but the hammer-mill is pretty close. I have a picture of me at about 5 years old sitting on the JD B belted up to a Bearcat hammer-mill with Dad grinding feed for the old Gurnseys... would have been about 1947.
Thanks for the memory :)
 
Sheller looks similar to a harvey corn sheller I bought last year for $25. Need to do a little sheet metal work on it, but otherwise everything turns good. Has the cobb elevator and blower for the shelled corn.
 
No problem with the condition of the H. Someday collectors will be paying a premium for units in original paint especially if they have been stored inside. I am past the big 60 but until a few months ago I had never personally set up a belt. There is more to it than it looks. My dad could seem to do it usually on the first try. Nice set up. Larry
