This brings back memories of when I was a small child. My grandfather had a similar set up. a John Deere "D" and a J I Case thresher, some of the neighbors stii used horses on the buddle wagons. The last year he had a threshing run was 1948. In 1949 he bought a John Deere 12A combine.
Amazing the progression.
Man, when that kid grabbed for the clutch lever at the start, i tensed up for a sec
Neat threshing demos there, this one and the other one with your Farmall. I like how it was even done with the wagons and the draft horses too. I'll say thanks to the Ewert family too for letting those people and the old equipment have a true working history lesson done on their farm.
+eSPeeScotty Thanks so much.
Watching the guy spinning the flywheel to start the old John Deere D brought back many memories of my youth and the first John Deere D that I ran. We burned No 2 gas in it but our trick for a cold start was to pour a little high test camp stove gas in the petcocks to prime and help start the engine. The petcocks were a manual valve with a cup that went into each cylinder. You opened the petcocks to let the air out of the cylinder so the compression was lower and you could spin the flywheel to start the engine. Our old D was very basic, the draw bar and the pulley. No lights, PTO, water pump or hydraulics and the only brakes were the brake pad on the pulley. It just had 3 speeds forward and 1 reverse gear and top speed was 5 miles an hour. There was only one big problem for me, I was only a small 12 year old so if I killed the engine on a hard pull usually up a hill the engine was very hard to start so you had to let it cool for a bit. I really miss those days.
Very nice. Thanks for posting
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed.
Love the threshing demonstration. Wish I could get my family to one . Sadly most threshing demonstrations take place in harvest .....when we are harvesting 🤦🏼
That is the biggest letdown about them i must admit😂
great memories
Did a bit of spike pitching as a kid and with a bundle rack on each side of the feeder with two guys on each rack
a 28-36 separator could be fed real steady and get rid of a lot of bundles in a days run.
It's a great way to get buff fast.
good job
Thanks so much.
very nice video. seldom see shock wagons hauled by horses
Thanks, it was a neat thing to see, a real treat.
Got to ask but why the figure 8 In the belt....
It increases pulley coverage by a small amount and smoothes out any uneven impulses made by either the tractor or the thresher so you do not get any "belt slap".
Well thanks for the info.....
Also the "figure 8" will change the direction the belt turns. Set up like that, the thresher turns the opposite way of the tractor
rainhill1829 - You don't know crap, flipping the belt reverses the drive direction. The thresher will not work if run backwards, the elevator would be going backward, the straw blower fan would bung up, the knives at the throat would be pushing the sheave out, the apron would be dropping the sheaves on the ground & not going to the knives, nothing would work right. I could go on & on but the wanna be farmers in this video have absolutely NO idea of how any of this is to be done right.

If you don’t have anything nice to say then just keep your nasty unwanted rude comments to yourself,obviously it’s a demonstration
O John Deere D40 nós fazia pegar na corda através da polia... kkkk
To bad you didn't show where the grain was going
We loaded it into a big B-train, it was used as a proceed for a charity event.
one complicated machine powered by a somewhat simple tractor
WTH? No heads?
Just straw ...already combined? Just a demo
