Dave: Around 1953 a feed mill was built about 1 mile from us. We were milking about 18-20 cows, and he would grind our grain do mixing, and the price was right so we basically retired our old grinder, bear in mind it was so old it probably was about to retire itself. My dad had done custom bench sawing of fire wood but that was dieing. We never owned a thresher, however our W4 and H both saw a lot of belt time on a neighbors thresher, but combines were moving in on that.
I can"t ever remember our 300 being belted up to anything. If dad did belt it up when I was not around, he didn"t do much. When I sold it in the 80s, face of that steel pulley was still red paint. I would judge that about par for our area. I suspect we abandoned the belt faster than a lot of areas. It wasn"t big grain country, probably 60% of the grain in that era, for dairy and beef in the area was railed in to feed mills. We did not have hogs or poultry in the immediate area.
