Getting a hammermill... The thing is painted red and the owner says he can make out the begining of "McCormick" However, if you look at the picture of this housing it looks like a Deere 10A..its a two piece stamping. The McCormicks I have seen have a three piece arrangement - 2 sides and a middle with long bolts holding it all together. The cyclone that comes with it has an extra tall stack, and thats what I seen on a deere, but not a McCormick... Any thoughts?  On edit did some more diggin, might be this one it has a similar housing...  ------------- If its not an All-Crop, it all crap! |

We used a WD45 to run the hammer mill. Belt driven model. I think it was a New Idea but I can't remember for sure. It sure made the tractor work. I could keep it full with a 5 gallon pail but you had to hustle. Brother and I could do about 50 bags an hour at the most. Good memories.

Must have been a large hammermill. These units when powered by electric only need a 3 HP motor. ------------- If its not an All-Crop, it all crap! |

| Looked similar to your pic of the McCormick but can't remember how wide it was. Ran the tractor almost full throttle and would sometimes turn muffler red. That tractor did a lot of work off the belt pulley. |

| I'm pretty sure that's a Case hammermill. I've got one I use occasionally just like it. Not sure what size yours is, but mine is a 10 inch. I run mine with a WC. You can grind a lot of grain in a short amount of time, but hay is a different story. I grind enough feed for 3 or 4 meat steers every winter and a bit of grain for pig feed in the summer. I've got a manual for mine I could probably copy of you'd like a manual. |
