|
|
I found a photo of an old potato digger on the Implement Alley forum. It was posted by Fullers Farmall on the 17th of last month.
I just re-posted it to the Implement Photos section. (wish I new how to attach it to this message)
Since I have the same digger, I wondered if anyone can identify the maker. I've had my digger for years and have never been able to learn who made it. The only casting numbers on mine are F&H on the wheels. (and I'm pretty sure that just tells me that F&H made the wheels for the digger)

Hi Pete, I have been looking for a make on that digger and couldn't find one. I did however have some of it apart and there was some green paint under some of the metal that had never been exposed. I don't know what brand that would be but i think if it had been Deere they would have stamped all of their parts. When I go home next I'll pull it out and look for some more markings. |

My guess on this digger would be a Champion! |

Here's a potato digger made by Hoover. I should've had one of these when I grew a lot of potatoes. Hal

Thanks Bob, I appreciate that. (I use to know how to post the photos but then I changed PC's and browers and have not yet relearned how to do it!) |

Thanks for the photo! Mine looks similiar to that but, some differences on the drive wheel and front beams make me think its made by a different company. On mine, the centers of the drive wheels are not round shaped and the front beams are just plain steel bar stock rather than cast beams. The F&H wheels in Fullers Farmall's photo are a pretty unique and distinctive shape.
