ice cream-making machine

farmerjohn · Sep 11, 2012

I took the family to our community fair this evening and they have a vendor with an old fashioned ice cream making machine powered with an old hit-n-miss engine. Didn't get a chance to see it working or ask questions but got a picture. Never saw one before or even heard of one.

We had a hand crank one when I was a kid. HAve two electric ones now.
There's an Amish guy from up north who runs two at a time with a scaled down steam engine.

I turned the crank on ours a lot.

(quoted from post at 20:22:13 09/11/12) I turned the crank on ours a lot.

Me too.
That stuff will give you the fastest brain freeze on the planet, but man is it good!

Wardner has plans for the same type of thing off of his Swiss Army Knife Farmall 400. Don't let him see this pic! Jim

I remember those WINTER days. Only time we had ICE from the cattle tank. Then us kids had to set on it to hold it down. Maybe that is why my butt gets cold so fast now days.

I was dreamin when I thought I could buy a scale Case steam engine identical to the one those Amish ice cream makers have. The little steam engine brought 6500 dollars at Polks Labor weekend auction.
I would like to know more about the little engine. I think they were probably a kit of some sort and you done a lot of machining.

We used to make ice cream at my aunt's every summer. We turned the crank until we couldn't any more, then the dads took over. Yum! Yum!

When I was a kid Uncle Rusell always brought his icecream freezer to any and all gettogethers . Like Larry said us kids would crank starting with the littlest guy first and as it got harder to thrn you was relived with a bigger kid then the dads finished it off .

He had it at the Oakley tractor show.

In posting the pictures I didn't mean that I never saw an ice cream maker, I never saw a machine with several all hooked together run by an engine. I remember making ice cream at home as a kid but never had to crank, Mom had one with an electric motor.

When I said a lot around I ment multiples hooked together, usually have vanilla in one and chocklet in a second and some have a third for some other flavor.

I did talk to the fellow this evening, it is NOT a vintage machine but one that was made up recently with vintage parts.
