Gundlach Shovel Drill

[sjerden]

Here's some photo's of my Gundlach horse-drawn grain drill. I got it back in August 2011 from a local farmer. The first picture is exactly how I found it up in the rafters of one of his barns. He said it was his grandfather's drill.



He got it down with his backhoe and this next picture is of him spraying it for wasps.



Here are some more photos of it after I got it home. It is all wood, including the axle and it has a grass seeder box on the back. It was a walk-behind operation. The seed tubes had to be manually lifted and then dropped at the end of each round.

Are you going to use it?

It looks like it is in pretty good shape.

I don't plan on using it. Presently I am just collecting. I have more modern equipment to use.
