About 40 years ago, I mounted an old washing machine motor to Dad's JD#1A corn sheller. He used it to hull black walnuts. I got help to haul it out of the old barn so I could put it back to use. When I get done shelling about 10 bushel of corn that sat in this wagon of 3 years, I may run some walnuts thru it.[TUBE]TF9VoCph1n0[/TUBE] ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

I need a belt for the chaff fan, maybe an old singer sewing machine could donate the material for one. Some day, I may even route the chord away from the flywheel and put a switch on it. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

They still carry those little round leather belts for sewing machines, and you can adjust the length if you need. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

Charlie, how is the pulley mounted on the inside of the big wheel on the sheller. Or is it a factory deal. |

The cobs went on a big ash stump and got burned. If I had a couple hundred bushel to shell, I might have enough to burn the stump down half way. Dave, I'll have to look, but I think there is a flat belt pulley on the inside of the flywheel. If the belt is tight enough to get it rolling, it works just fine. I googled a new leather belt, and a replacement for the John Deere lists for 12-25 $ You can buy the same belting in a 72 inch length for a sewing machine for $2 to $6 and cut it to length. I got about 4 bushel dumped in the basement yesterday, filled the stove up last night and the fire was out this morning when I woke up. First snow, and coldest it''s been since last spring, and my feed auger isn't feeding. Now I have to vacuum out the hopper and check for a jam, then probably open the back of the stove up to see if the set screw on the motor shaft came loose. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
