SweetFeet, sorry I didn't get these put up sooner and I am sorry I didn't get more of the tractors and stuff but I took what I could for ya!

What is that in the third picture? Looks like it has a big old belt
pulley on it.

That caught my eye too. My guess is a rock crusher.

Badger08,

Thanks so much!! I too, wonder what is in picture 3. It is a neat looking old hunk of rust, whatever it is.

JUST LOVE:
the faded Farmall decal on the one F20 tank on the ground,

the rusty F20 with loader (guy we bought our Regular from gave us a picture of our tractor with one of those old loaders on it back in the 60s - they were using it to help put up a new barn),

all the rusty old tractors,

the funky old road grader,

adore the Oliver (wish we had a rusty one on full steel...never will happen though because our Regular is husband's last planned restoration),

the F12(?) with the cultivator and plant guards (somebody just posted a pic of the guards recently),

the linup of old grain trucks,

all the John Deere tractors (though I'd love to see them in their work clothes before restoration)

and last but not least - the fully rusted plow.

AWESOME! THANKS FOR SHARING! ~ SweetFeet ~

I don't think it's a rock crusher. I saw a very old abandoned Allis Chalmers rock crusher in a quarry once. I bet it is the pivot for a rotating bridge like the RR bridge at Marietta Ohio. Or else for a railroad turn table.

Pic #3 looks a lot like the Comet crusher made in the late 1800s by Fraser & Chalmers. Wendel"s AC Story, pg 94.

Yep that is a rock crusher, it's a #5 I believe and made by the Austin Manufacturing in Chicago if I remember right. It will be staying right where it is thankfully.

It is a rock crusher, forgot to add it is the biggest one this company made, as far as I know, then there were two smaller ones. We actually took it all apart last year and got the bottom part of it out and got it fixed so last year it ran for the first time in awhile at the show. Just chews right through rocks, it's a pretty neat yet simple design. Even pumps oil through it.
