More from Patton's Corner for Rubbish Tuesday

All the photos in this post are from one piece of machinery...
I cannot help but think whoever had to work on these had to use their brain power to keep everything working just right.
 We were thinking maybe it gathered and shelled corn....
but if you know for sure what it was used for, feel free to inform us in your comment.
I had not thought to google and try to figure what it is till now...and I have other things to do.

Anyway, linking this to Rubbish Tuesday.

    I immediately thought it was an an old corn picker, but that doesn't mean anything. I really have no idea what it is, but it sure is a cool find. Love the rust! Thanks for joining in!

    Having absolutely no knowledge about farming I am no help. But I can say that is one piece of dangerous equipment with all those exposed gears and chains. It is no wonder why many farm workers of that time were missing fingers, hands, arms or even killed. Even today, farming is a dangerous occupation.

    I love machinery photos! And I think too that it might be a picker of some sort.

    You say it took brains to operate and work on this machine I just think about who invented it in the first place---there's the brain power. I cannot imagine!! MB

    The augers in one shot certainly look like they would shell corn. These are fine pictures that capture the patina the old equipment has developed over the years.

    No idea what it could be, but I like the rust color.
