What your talking about sounds like a #8 made in the 1950's. They ran off a flat belt on the back of the blower. The earlier models ran of a flat belt in front of the blower. The first model chopper didnt have a number it was called a ensliage cutter and was made from 35 to 42. The next model was a 64 made from 42 till about 49 or 50. The next model was the 72 made from about 1950 till about 54 or 55. The #8 followed the 72 and was made till about 59 or 60 when the 6 and the 12 came out. [Reply]  [No Email]

I guess those type of machines went out with the 30 cow dairies. [Reply]  [No Email]

In the late 1950's my dad bought a used JD number 64 that had a 6 inch or so wide flat belt on flat pulleys driving the cutter head, which was a fly-wheel type that had four knives. Used the thing up until about 1968 when he got a used JD number 6 model. It was also a fly-wheel type but with 6 knives , and was driven by a heavy " V " belt that was about 2 inches wide. Still have both of the old things here. [Reply]  [No Email]
