Would you let us know where you are from, and where you saw this old iron?

An update of your bio would help... ;)

stamper · June 13, 2013, 10:21:29 PM

This is something I saved because I have never seen another, except in old pictures
It has a second toothed arm, not in the picture [broken off]

Looks like an Unicycle without the seat.

I don't know but I like it....

Stump puller?

ND rancher · June 13, 2013, 11:56:55 PM

My guess is a prototype of the Pinny woods turner!

Brian_Rhoad · June 14, 2013, 12:33:40 AM

I think that is a log turner. Most likely was steam powered.

David, I think it would be fun to see how you'd do on one of them ink blotter tests. ;D ;D

loggah · June 14, 2013, 08:10:22 AM

I,ll go along with the log turner guess, lots of other goodies there . I would like to see more pictures of your "IRON STASH" !! ;D ;D , What tractor is powering the road grader in the background? Don

thecfarm · June 14, 2013, 08:17:07 AM

Now you've done it. You have loggah looking and drooling. :D

Roxie · June 14, 2013, 09:24:16 AM

My guess is mower.

pineywoods · June 14, 2013, 10:06:10 AM

Has to be a log turner and a DanG ingenious one at that. There's a couple of cams on there to increase the stroke. Looks like another shaft coming out the bottom, hidden in the grass. Likely powered by a pulley running a flat belt, hooked up somewhat similar to the carriage feed on a circle mill. The ingenuity of those ole timers never ceases to amaze me.

Log turner is correct.
Grader is a Galion, power is 1927 I-20 IHC

That is a DanG interesting looking pile of rust. We need to see more pictures of the rest of the inventory there.
Last Sunday was the first time I had ever heard your Lombard actually run. It sounds Great!

clww · June 14, 2013, 12:11:40 PM

Looks like one of the weapons used on the History Channel's "Vikings".

stamper · June 14, 2013, 07:16:10 PM

larger piece...

Paul_H · June 14, 2013, 08:06:33 PM

Trencher?

loggah · June 14, 2013, 08:37:54 PM

Is that trencher a buckeye ??? ;D ;D there were a lot of companys making them, austin western made some then, gooood stuff !!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D iwas thinking the power for the grader was IH from where the governor and shaft go to the carb. Lester glad you liked the noise !! ;D ;D Don

Hey, it was good to see your mother again, too. It has been many years and she looks great. Is she still living in the same place? I bet I haven't seen her since I left Beebe back in '83. Geez, that's 30 years ago. Where has the time gone?

tractormanNwv · June 19, 2013, 09:18:07 PM

There is a pic of a steam log turner in my 1923 American Sawmill Machinery book that looks similiar to that, do you know what brand it is?

Jim

stamper · June 19, 2013, 10:31:58 PM

No idea of brand, no markings

tractormanNwv · June 20, 2013, 10:26:46 AM

In Philadelphia working right now, I"lltry to remember when I get home this weekend and put a picture with the info from my book on here to look at.
