| This model of a Case 28 - 47 Threshing machine was hand fabricated in Minnesota. It is approximately 18" long. |
| The model is entirely fabricated from metal-- except for the many fabric belts. |
| The model accurately captures the dizzying array of belts on the real machine. |
| The model was lacking a few details so Eric modified the model a bit. Here you can see one of the modifications. These are "band cutters" which were a series of oscillating blades used to cut up the straw so the grain could be screened out. |
| A view of the feed conveyor folded out. |
| Eric also added all these adjustment cranks. The were used to position the "wind stacker", a large tube that blew out the waste straw known as "chaff". |
| This belt drive was added as well. It powered an oscillation mechanism that could make the wind stacker move from side to side. |
| The last custom detail was the main drive belt which would have been run out to the flywheel of a tractor to power the machine. The rack for the belt was also added. |
| View of the wind stacker swiveled out and extended. |
| The sheet metal work around the chaff blower is very well done. |
