FROM WHAT I'M TOLD,THESE SHELLERS WERE 50s & 60s VINTAGE. HAD TO REPLACE THE SHEET METAL AROUND THE AUGER & FAN , BUT ALL IN ALL. NOT IN BAD SHAPE. ALITTLE SMALLER THAN THE JD=43 BUT STILL SHELLS ALL YOU CAN THROUGH AT IT. NO ADJUSTMENT ON THE RASP BARS TO THE CYLINDERS. ENDED UP CRACKING SOME. IF ANYBODY HAS A MANUAL OR SOME KNOWLEDGE ON THIS SHELLER. I NEED TO TALK TO YOU. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, JERRY
I had one. Sold it to a guy in Maine when I got a corn head for the combine. I never could find a manual for it, but I found the fuller you fed it, the less it cracked. Mine was belt-driven, and reducing the input speed helped too.
HI TIN, YOU WERE RIGHT, I RUN THIS SHELLER OFF A FARMALL B-N. I BROUGH IT DOWN TO IDLE & POURED THE CORN TO IT. IT SHELLED BETTER & NOT NEAR AS MUCH CRAKING. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. I HOPE THINGS GO WELL FOR YOU. THANKS, JERRY
