Subject: [SEL] Silage Chopper - Need Info and I.D.

Folks I have this old silage chopper that I am getting ready to restore and
would like to know the maker if I can find out. Also please look at pictures
titled "Silage Chopper #4, #5, and #9" and you will see the opposite end of
the flat belt pulley shaft. There was at one time another pulley or
handwheel on this shaft as you can see the damage to the shaft from the set
screw of the device being used. I would like to know what should be on this
end of the shaft...a handwheel of some sorts?. The shaft size of the shaft
with the pulley on it is 1".  Any help anyone can offer will be greatly
appreciated.

Paul, I have a silage chopper that bears a close resemblance.  It has a
heavy flywheel on the belt pulley shaft.  I'm quite certain that is what is
missing off yours.  

I don't know if mine has a name on it, or not.  I'll go check.  

I've never had time to do anything with mine.  Nobody wanted it, so it was
headed for the scrap iron pile.  Rather than let that happen I got it for a
$2.50 bid.  It is a *heavy* beast.  

Regards,
