Front side of the rime with Dodge hub cap

If anyone should have any information on these wooden spoke rims.  I would like to know the year these wooden spoke rim were made and what kind of vehicle they were used on.

They are in good shape the wood is solid,

 but need painting.

OLD TIME HAND CORN SHELLER

 Simple Man Makin It DO

By using this an old hand corn sheller, which I have  bolted to a wooden box. 
 I placed in a shucked ear of corn.

Turning the handle to shell the corn off the cob

Can you see the corn as it falls into the box?

Closer view of the corn sheller, corn is all shelled

Here is our flock of Chickens enjoying the corn

Close up view of the corn sheller, with a Hen checking out the feed box

.

This old corn sheller, has seen many years of shelling corn. Now I use it to shell the corn, cuts down on the price of buying it already shelled in a bag.

SWING SAW OR CUT OFF SAW

Notice the top on my tractor,

I cut the top off an old golf cart and welded it to my tractor,

Thats Simple Man Makin It Do!

I bought this saw off Craig's List for $30.00.

I am told it is a Swing saw or Cut Off Saw.

Looks to me like it has an old rear end out of a T Model Ford for the drive box.

Someone has rigged the saw to work off a PTO on a tractor,

instead of a leather belt drive.

I am told this saw was used to cut the lengths needed

for stove wood,or wood for the fireplace.

I hooked the saw to my tractor, You know I just had to try it out!

View of the Saw Blade, which needs a good sharpening!

View of the log rack, for safety it has a blade guard

Ready to Cut Some Wood! Let's Try it Out!

The Log Rack goes back as I press on the log.

Close up of the saw blade in motion!

It is not as dangerous as I thought it looked!

Back then they were looking for a easier way, than a safer way of cutting logs.

As I was cutting the log, I was thinking it is hard to believe:

Some man long ago said to himself:

This is a easier way to cut wood! Than Using a Hand Cross Cut Saw!

I will never complain about my Chain Saw when it does not want to start Again!
