McCormick Deering Antique Wheat Binder

- This is a 1930(?) originally horse drawn McCormick-Deering Wheat Binder. They were used to cut and bind wheat which was then shocked in the field where it was later picked up and taken by wagon to the Thresher. As technology progressed, the Binder and Thresher were eventually combined into one machine.
This Binder was restored by members of the Hiwassee Valley Antique Tractor and Engine Club in Cleveland Tennessee USA.

Wild Ginger Farm, clearly that is a ground drive machine as there is no PTO shaft from the tractor evident.
To shock well. Take 2 bundles, hold heads together, jam butts into the ground. Then add 1 bundle on each end of the row to have 4 in a row. Then put 3 on each side of the row of 4, 2 in close, then the 3rd between and outside of the first 2. That gives a shock of 10: 4 in a row, 3 on each side. You want the shock to be as tight as possible with the bundles leaning in (wider at the bottom for stability). Cap it by bolding a bundle under the string, butts in your stomach, break the stalks down between the heads and the stiing and spread them left and right. Put that on top of the 10 with the heads facing east. Make another cap and have the heads on that one backing west, into the prevailing weather. Total, 12 per shock.
Still works as good as it ever did. Now you need three good horses to pull it.
That binder needs some serious adjustments, those hand levers are for more than handy things to hang onto! Your knotter seems to be working properly but it needs more tension in the twine for a tighter sheave. Those sheaves are a joke, it would be next to impossible to stook any of them properly.
More than one operator suffered bad injury when cleaning clogged cutter bars in front on these machines when they were horse drawn and something scared the horses.
Great memories. Thanks. We had a Farmall H on the front and long steering wheel shaft to the tractor to the tractor steering wheel. I believe a rope and pulley operated the clutch. I was too young to operate equipment at that time but I remember those bundles coming off the binder.
Yes i do i did this bzck in 1966 so nice to see you guys doing this Bill
How do binder make knot ?
I rode a WD-45 pulling one. It had the knotter disconnected and bundle carrier removed; converted into a winrower for oats. I was 4 (?). This is the first time I've seen one work that's complete. Wish you would have shown some of the knotter working from underneath. Great video though!
This is so cool. Ive grown up farming all my life and up here is Saskatchewan Canada you see the skeletons of these everywhere but I always wanted to see one work and never had the chance. THANK YOU 😊
In That Canola farming country as well? I live in an alpine part of Eastern Washington state - the topsoil is a few inches deep at most. We do pretty well with hay, and non irrigated wheat, as well as beef cattle. A lot of other things are tough. I've heard in some of those provinces like Saskatchewan and Alberta that the topsoil is up to 12 feet deep! Not sure if that is true or not.
@@kodyjbosch1 well, right where we are the soil is about what yours is. But about an hour south west of us there in deep soil
Fantastic video, I just love this type of Farming, great job fellow's
So awesome to see one going! Thank you. My grampa was talking the other day (on the phone) - about operating one of these back in the day. He has bone cancer and has been an invalid confined in his chair for over two years. I sent my Gramma this video on her cell phone so she could show him. A really special moment, especially due to the pandemic and economic challenges not having been home to the farm in over 2 years. Thank you ☺️
@maxandlevi Funny you should mention that--we had a Case RC that Dad drove from the binder seat like that. As you may know, the Case had a hand clutch so he had to push the clutch in to start the tractor moving then go around and get on the binder seat, but he could stop it by pulling a rope tied to the clutch lever. We've still got the RC-don't know what happened to the binder-maybe scrapped?

It doesn't look like it's binding. The wheat looks all loose. Does it hace twine?
@Johndeerepinkss if your in the new england area would love to get a hold of old farm equipment
Going awfully slow
A draft horse walked at just over 4 miles per hour this appears to be not more than 3 mph

It has a roll of twine in the canister on the back
@@austinwagoncompany Yes, there is twine coming from the canister but the sheaves do appear to be loose. Perhaps an adjustment to the knotters would be in order?
Is this wheel driven or PTO?
PTO obviously. Horses had a drive shaft under their tails!
The real word is STOOK.. not shock....3 on each side ...and if it is wheat,there is a cap that goes on top..depending on the length of the straw there could be more bundles used..
