- This mower was built by Deering Harvesters. The company was founded in 1874 and merged with McCormick, becoming McCormick-Deering, in 1902. This mower was built during that time. I plan to use it with my donkeys.
Wow, sitting for 35 years and still close to working? That’s craftsmanship!
It's almost the opposite of craftsmanship. It's wide tolerances, simple design, massively robust. The opposite in every way of modern "high-tech", it's rude, crude, cheap, unrefined, and massively reliable.
Jeff McFadden But, isn’t that just another kind of craftsmanship? Made to be simple, robust & massively reliable. If it’s, not, it ought to be ;)
@@lavonnewhelchel7506 that's very true. It is. And yes, it deserves much more respect than it typically gets.
@@JefftheDonkeyGuy I love this description
Have you ever taken the drivetrain apart...with success? I have a stuck gear and teeth missing on the little one that is driven by the big wheel gear
No, sorry, I haven't.
Hi, was just wonder if you've heard of a Hamilton Onada Deering mower? Found it in shed covered in turf mould. It was there for about 60 years. Can't seem to trace the model.
Sorry to be so long in answering. I don't know that mower. I suggest you write to The Small Farmers Journal, editor / publisher Lynn Miller. He probably knows more about mower models than anyone else alive. And good luck!
@@JefftheDonkeyGuy thanks a mill for replying. I will certainly try that, thanks!
That's Hamilton, ON (as in Ontario). I believe they were made in different cities. It's the same basic unity he's working on in this video.
