    It appears to have a shaking mechanism of some sort with the perforated layers of tin and possibly a blower of some sort on the underside.

      A Manure Spreader, or as we call them around here " a Campaign Wagon"
    4. cher, 11 years ago
      Yes, I initially thought it was a corn sheller but now that rocker-sd mentioned manure spreader, I'd have to concur. I remember seeing them in 'action!' Although they were a bit newer models. My cousin sent me the pictures & asked me if I knew what it was. I found this site (love the site) & have to thank you guys/gals for the comments.
    5. cher, 11 years ago
      Oh, rocker-sd. I love the SECOND name you have for the 'mystery equipment.'
    6. cher, 11 years ago
      My husband just got a look at these photos and wonders if it is a grain thresher (wheat, etc.?) He thought it looked like the drum with the spikes might have been in the center of the wagon. That would be consistent with the description provided with the pictures; It appears to have a shaking mechanism of some sort with the perforated layers of tin and possibly a blower of some sort on the underside.
      What do you guys think?
    7. gargoylecollector gargoylecollector, 11 years ago
      I agree to disagree,so good luck!Oh ,how about a turd hearse?

      How about this threshing machine?It is not a manure speader.
    10. cher, 11 years ago
      Good one gargoylecollector. Blower fan, maybe for the f@rts? But is is looking like this might be a primitive/homemade small grain threshing machine.
    11. cher, 11 years ago
      Another piece of information that might be helpful is that this 'machine' is located in Palo Pinto county Texas. What did they grow in that area?
    12. walksoftly walksoftly, 11 years ago
      Gargoyle is correct definitely a threshing machine, wood body, later models used sheet metal on a steel frame.
    13. pops52 pops52, 11 years ago
      Whatever it is, I think it's a cool picture. Great shot.
    14. fhrjr2 fhrjr2, 11 years ago
      Threshing wagon that you hand fed with a pitch fork. They might have been used for anything from wheat to Milo.
    15. kerry10456 kerry10456, 11 years ago
      fhrjr2 has called it what I believe also, but might add, the large mill part appears to be a replacement part from an early style "Hammer" mill, minus the shutes and funnel

      oops gargoylecollector ID'ed before., need to read "ALL" the comments, lol
      sorry gargoyle
    17. walksoftly walksoftly, 11 years ago
      The cylinder is what is known as a spike tooth cylinder & is typical for the era on a threshing machine.
    18. rocker-sd rocker-sd, 11 years ago
      I have to concur, Threshing machine. Looking a second and third time, the tall framework around the bed would be similar in height to a thresing machine. A manure wagon would have a shaker system to move the stuff back an a similar but smaller drum with spikes to throw it out. But the sideboards would only be about 24".
