Stanhoist stalk chopper #15

[robroy]

Does anyone know who bought out the stanhoist equipment co? I found a Stanhoist #15 stalk chopper in
decent shape but want to know how hard it would be to find belts and other parts.

Looks like Shoup has the knives and D rings belts probably could be matched up. Doubt there anything special on the the chopper. Have no idea who bought or what happened to them.

Bush Hog acquired them, a long time ago . . . like 50 years. Little chance of any OEM parts in the system.

I know the belts are 5/8 x 80. But finding a banded triple belt isn't easy. I had to use 3 singles on one side. You have to watch them so they don't work off.
