Anyone have any idea what this setup is for? I’ve had people say power source for a barn cleaner but I haven’t been able to confirm. Any input is certainly appreciated.

That is an original WC. Look at the decals on the frame. Spoke front wheels and solid back wheels. Maybe a 1937? ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

I would also guess it is part of a loader. |

I guess mechanical lift for a blade. Loader pivots of that era were not in front of the steer tires. Interesting, like to see a complete unit.whatever it is it's well built with safety not being a factor. ------------- Allis Chalmers still exist in my mind and barns |

My first thought was loader but after looking at it more I think this was a power source for something rotating like maybe a buzz saw blade or a mill of some type?? The tractor looks to be i decent shape!

I would agree. The chain drive looks to be a good reduction for RPM off the side PTO. and, it has an integral brake to hold the blade up. The "spool" would wind up a cable. The apparatus on top would also be able to hold a blade up, but doubtful if it would be strong enough for a loader. Looks semi-factory made; maybe some after market equipment maker supplied them. |

Thanks for the input. Whatever it is it’s a low speed friction drive of some sort.

Have seen similar but belt drive, was for a loader but that is what I have seen, could be anything from other description. ------------- 1945 C, 1949 WF and WD, 1981 185, 1982 8030, unknown D14(nonrunner) |

Yes, I see "BIG" with something under it, but can't make it out.

| Barn cleaners were a half cylinder hanging down from a track along the gutter on the back of the stalls the track extended a ways past the barn out to the manure pile when it got to the end you pulled the trip rope and it dumped. It was pulled back and forth by a cable with a pulley at the outside end to revers the direction. You pulled the cable one way and the cleaner went out the other way pulled the cable back in. We used to play in it when I was a kid. My uncles barn had one on each side. I never saw what was used to pull the cables they were just tied off at the end inside the barn. The cross bar at the front of that apears it would stop the winch when the load comes up against it. Just my guess base on what I rember from more than50 years ago. |
