Just by looking at some of the tell tale parts, I would say it is an early model threshing machine. It has the drag line in the front at the top (right side) where the bundles of grain would be pitched into the machine. It has a fan at the bottom center of the machine to blow the chaff out of the good grain. Just to the left of the fan is an upright elevator to carry the good grain up to the top to be transferred into sacks or a wagon. The large tube laying on top of the machine is in transport position. It was raised up high to blow the straw into a pile behind the machine. It just has the overall looks of a threshing machine. By the way, your photos are very good. Have a GREAT DAY!

At first glance I too thought that it might be an early baler. But looking more closely, I agree that it might be an early combine (thresher). I hope someone can tell you for sure. Nice shots! :thumbup:

very nice shots. I love old farming equipment. if it could only talk, what stories it could tell. deb

No doubt! I worked a few summers harvesting pecans. We had a Pecan tree shaker that would clamp around a tree and then proceed to rotate a large, heavy elliptical cam that would cause the tree (and the ground!) to shake like crazy. Hard work but I have very fond memories of it.....
