Name that junk

[WantedWolf]

It seems everyone likes pictures and farm junk here's both

these are pics I took last year of junk laying in the bushes around the house some are tough to see. I know what a few things are but im sure TBN will know them all.
the one car is a strato chief but the other?? a volvo??

the item in picture 5 appears to be a sit on sicklebar mower (perhaps originally horse drawn)

The Volvo (pictures 16-18) appears to be a P1800 (no idea on the year).

the item in picture 8 looks very interesting, I would guess that it did something with hay, but that is just a WAG.

#7 looks like the frame for an old Dearborn loader, I have one in my barn, they were made for the old N series Fords. I agree with Egon the first car is a 59 Pontiac. The second is a Karmann Giha, can tell by the door handle and the cutout in the rear firewall for the trans axel.

this junk is some of the more "choice" stuff in the MANY junk piles left on the farm we purchased last year. Its an old abandoned sheep farm, last occupied by horses in about 1996. so It needs work just from time, but the previous owners with what im assuming is an old world attitude just left every piece of garbage they had in the trees.


At this point i dont know what to do with most of it, any ideas? but my MIL is a huge antique nut and has her claws in most of it just from seeing the pictures.

And at last count theree are 8 wood burning stoves of various sizes and degrees of dissintagration, i hope to rebuild 1 or 2 of these for the fun of it and use them in the small shop.

So the farmhand hydraulic unit put into action would look like this?

 

[Egon]

It surely would. The hay sweep is a little different though.

 

[WantedWolf]

The one in this pic is even cooler.
All the junk is comming together now Maybe I need an older tractor and some paint. Now if you could tell me that the 8N is made by the other Ford that had no input in my 95 f150, i might look there.

almost Forgot the pic

Stick with the McCormick in your picture!

Sell it to a Scrap Yard.

i just add it to my scrap pile then , Ive had to part with enough junk during this move

 

[WantedWolf]

I think 10 and 11 are of an effluant agitator

My great-Uncle had a Farmhand loader just like that on his IH560 with tri-cycle wheels. 'Course, the grapple bucket was missing about every other tooth and at least one of the grapple tines was kinda cocked off to the side...

But, it was still runnin' the day he died!

Thanks for sharin'.

It's a shame that scrap metal prices are down so much from last summer. You could have made some decent money scrapping out the non-restorable stuff. In July I was quoted 7 cents a pound for scrap steel, now down to under 2 cents if you can even find a yard that will take it. Hard to tell from the pics if the Pontiac is salvageable.

 

[Grrrr]

Ill take a guess and say the orange thing in picture 8 is some sort of buck rake, maybe an early push off design.

I see lots of great tractor attachments made from those parts. 6 the dearborn loader bucket with the tines. You can un pin that material plate and have the tines at full length, I have taken a few of these old buckets and made three point bucktes to remove hay and manure mixes like the standard use. it slides in the fiberous waste and is easier than using th smooth loader bucket. Just take the arms and pivot end and weld on 3 point connection. They are also good for picking up a lone rock and placing it or a chunk. I wished that one was closer im still looking for another. Number 9 the old disc loks like another gang behind it. I put part of my college money up welding together little rough discs out of old partial discs for cutting in food plots for 4 wheelers. It would also make a good hiller welding the 2 gangs on a 3 point at an inverted vee angle. 10 would make a good start on a skidding arch or som other toungued implement looks to be good solid iron. 13 looks like it has 2 rollers of some sort on each end of the forging/casting and a pivot in the midde with somthing else attached Id like to see a clear veiw of it. 12 loks like a vat or tank of sorts made from 1/2 inch plate. I ve used rough metal like this to make angle brackets to help bolt together wooden beams in sheds and barns.
The rest of the dearborn could be recycled into a boom for the 3 point and the cylinder are probably still good. and the hay rig and Farm hand could also make something else.
Ive made living over the years with recycling old stuff into usefull attachments for myself and others. Ive recently gotten into metal Found art for the unusable stuff. I sold an old wheel off a pulltype hay mower that a lady had me braze some old forged hooks onto and mount an a scrolled bracket to make a rotary rack for her out door kitchen. the whole rig brough me 175 for 30 mins of work.

Hey thanks for some great ideas Taylortractornut.

I keep going over the farm pics and wish I could get better shots of everything. Always missing the desired angle it seems.

Well Ill be there in a few months. and ill show you all the REAL junk.

It wont be a real farm for a while. and I can only hope ill have time for the fun stuff. Sundays my day, but not of rest.
