    Threshing Oats With 20 McCormick-Deering

    Located in southeast Wisconsin. Belt power for the machine was provided by 1951 Farmall M, which has been in the family since new. The M just played with this little thresher like it was a toy. The 20 inch threshers, which were built from 1926-32, could be used with a McCormick-Deering...

    Threshing Oats With 20 McCormick-Deering

    Each year I thresh a few acres of oats, and this year we used the rare 20 inch McCormick-Deering thresher that's been in the family for almost 60 years. This machine was made in 1930, and was meant to be sold to a small farmer who wanted his own threshing rig, rather than have to wait for the...

    Gehl forage harvesting equipment....

    Everyone in the family survived the storm, which was a miracle in itself. The tornado went through right around midnight, when all six family members were asleep. The bodies of the people that lost their lives were found under rubble in one of our hay fields. You're right about the McCormick...

    Gehl forage harvesting equipment....

    No problem, just ask away. The farm was completely rebuilt after the tornado. My folks had excellent insurance, and worked the farm until my father passed away in 2016. The place was recently sold to a developer. I am retired from the ministry and now am lucky enough to do a little farming on...

    Gehl forage harvesting equipment....

    The farm was pretty much leveled by the 1981 West Bend tornado. Our family were members of St. Mary's for many years.

    Gehl forage harvesting equipment....

    Farm was just north of the city on what used to be Highway 45. Across from the Tech school. Dad's name was Clarence. I'm known as Fr. Al.

    Gehl forage harvesting equipment....

    Born and raised in Barton, if you know where that is. My dad did a lot of business with the IH dealer in Newburg.

    Gehl forage harvesting equipment....

    It was repainted about 40 years ago. Other than that, it is 100% original. I've owned it since 1970, paid $3.00 at auction.

    Gehl forage harvesting equipment....

    There is a YouTube video of it from about 20 years ago. Do a search on YouTube for Gehl silo filler belted to 10 hp M. I will upload a new video when I get some time.

    Gehl forage harvesting equipment....

    This old Gehl #17 silo filler is still earning it's keep on this farm near Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. Cutting some corn stalks for heifer feed a few days ago. This machine is about 100 years old and works just fine. There are still shims in the bearing caps to take up wear. Keep it greased and...

    Case 660 Combine

    This really nice Case 660 is being sold at online auction near me (SE Wisconsin), I sure wish I had room for it in the shed. Story is that it was used on a small dairy farm to harvest 15-20 acres of oats and otherwise was always kept inside when not in use. It would be a shame if it ended up...

    McCormick Deering 20x32

    The tongue on mine is 90 inches (7.5 feet) long. I'm quite sure it's original. I believe IH used southern yellow pine for most of their hitches.

    McCormick Deering 20x32

    Mine has a tool box on the back end of the machine. It's part of the wood platform to stand on when making adjustments to the blower pipe. That platform seems to be missing on yours, or maybe it was never there to begin with. You have the earliest style of this machine, where the tool box was...

    McCormick Deering 20x32

    I have one like that that belonged to my dad. He was about to let the scrap man haul it away, but I volunteered to take it off his hands. That was about 30 years ago, and I'm sure glad I saved it. Those 20 inch IHC threshers are really rare. Yours is the only other one I've ever seen. They were...

    IH 37 Baler Problem

    Thanks for the help. I tightened up the knotter brake a few turns. You're right about the plunger hitting the safety stop, not the needles. My mistake.I did notice that the safety stop stays up longer than it needs to, causing the pin to shear. I'm thinking I need to adjust the threaded rod on...

    IH 37 Baler Problem

    I have had this #37 baler for a dozen years or more and it's been pretty much trouble free until this year. I was baling some nice dry hay a few days ago when it suddenly started shearing pins. On closer inspection I noticed that the needles were not going all the way down after the knotter had...
