Is a carriage jack

Bro. Noble · May 04, 2003, 03:45:48 PM

Jeff,

You're pretty DanG close on the jack except the only carriages around here only traveled back and forth in front of a saw husk. :D

Bibbyman · May 04, 2003, 04:42:38 PM

You ain't gettn' many takers on yer guessin' game, so I figger I'll just offer up a jinnyouwine WAG on #1. Since that's a dairy farm and all, I figger that little auger lookin' thingy, settin' on the little ladder must be some sort of artyfishul insiminatin device. Maybe. :

chet · May 04, 2003, 10:13:30 PM

Naw, I'll bet dat little auger lookin' thingy wuz used to cut bung holes in dem wooden beer kegs.

Bro. Noble · May 05, 2003, 04:40:09 AM

Chet,

That's a 'Bung Hole Borer' for sure 8)

DanG, you're not going to win many cow friends with guesses like that

;D

Growing up on a farm I can tell you that dairy calves are notorious for certain problems that only your "bung hole borer" can cure. Seems a little harsh tho. ;D

Course I won't mention about how the other thing is used for stump broke cows, that would be in bad taste.

Mom always warned me about visiting our cousins in Missouri.

Thanks for the pics Bibbyman.

Getting old and stupid I guess. Just this morning I seen that I neglected to link in the pictures I took at RMay's place on the index page above. I'll fix that later. But for now, here are the pictures I took there.

RMay's place

Dugsaws · May 06, 2003, 09:49:21 PM

I will take a wild guess on the first pic and say it is a soil test drill, just a guess so dont laugh, I am not old enough to remember any thing like that

Bibbyman · May 07, 2003, 06:10:54 AM

Dugsaw, no need to guess. Noble done said it was a bung hole drill. A drill for making the bung holes in barrels.

I guess I could have taken a picture of the side that better shows the tapered part as a reamer.

Last Noble "What's it?"

It looks like a sharpening stone! To the left of it (in your website pictures) is a farmall H Is it used to belt drive the sharpener?

Bro. Noble · May 07, 2003, 08:16:45 AM

It would probably pull it. Do you think my shed looks a little like Corley's shed?

Noble

whitepe · May 07, 2003, 10:21:40 AM

Hint: There is/was a major league pitcher named Don Gullett.

I can't participate. Noble told me what that
gadget was when I was there. ;D
Noble, I don't know if your shed looks like Corley's but
there is a Corley in your shed. :D
