IH 85 grinder

[Mike Johnson]

I found a post from 2012 about the decals or numbers for approximately weight of corn for each number. In the thread it said the 85 had numbers from 1-6 Mine has 1-9. I doubled check to see if I had the right IH grinder and it says 85. Did mine come over on the Mayflower or someone put the wrong sticker on it? I just got the owner's manual, and it has nothing on the numbers on the windows. Do have a brochure coming to see if that might help. If it's the same as a 950 or 1150 like in that post, I just go off of it. Mike

We used to have a model 85 and ours was numbered 1-9, I believe ours was bought it 1965. Perhaps they changed the number sequence at some point during production.

Owatanna built it

I’m going to have to disagree with you on that. The IH dealer said it was made by Arts Way and I believe that to be correct as I was able to order parts through Arts Way for it. When it was retired I sold it to a friend from college who wanted it for the fill auger and other miscellaneous parts for his Arts Way grinder mixer. Also I’m currently running a Owatonna 424 grinder mixer and while there are some similarities to the IH they’re far from being the same.

I'm not a expert by any means but I'm about 98% sure the older I-H grinders were made by Arts-Way too.. I have a old Arts Way that I still use and you are still able to get some parts for them through AW. I'm sure the parts for a I-H grinder could be available through them too if not I-H..

Well next time just ask your wife. I gave her the numbers and said I want a ton of corn ground and being a math teacher 4.2 on the window. I knew I would get if figured out eventually. Has anybody found a place to order belts for machinery in general. The belts on this grinder need to be replaced soon and I would like to find a cheaper source than a IH dealer.

My manual on my grinder. A-W 325 says if belts are replaced do them all at once. I brought parts for mine at Born Equipment in Ohio. They ordered them from A-W and had them shipped direct to me in Mi. There #440 965 5675. I know I didn't want to pay a 100 bucks for my Kubota mower deck belt so brought the so called best belt from Granger. It last about 2 hours and was trashed so paid the big bucks for Kubota belt. The belt was still good when I traded the mower in. Just saying.

I haven't bought from them, but I have seen good comments about JayDee Enterprises as a belt source:

Jim, maybe you do not want to go down this road but the 2 link symbol at the top of the reply area is for posting links. Copy the link from your address bar, place your cursor in the location of your reply you want the link be placed. Click the chain links, paste the link in the URL box and give it a name in the lower click insert.
Jay Dee V belts
To the OP click Ag under “industries we serve”
You might also give All States Ag Parts 855-530-1460, they are the YT parent company.

I didn't know if a link to JD would be allowed and didn't feel like experimenting. So I went with the <dot> approach. To add something closer to the original subject:

I don't have a proper reference for the model 85. But the 1974 IH Price List includes the slightly more recent models 950 and 1150. It lists the FOB point as Armstrong, Iowa. That is Art's way's location.

Thank you for that information. I got my Shoup catalog yesterday and it shows no belts for grinders. Did find a company called vbeltsupply out of SD, anybody delt with them before?
