what is this thing?

Radar67 · « **Reply #1 on:** November 04, 2009, 08:36:46 pm »

Some sort of torture device.

Dan_Shade · « **Reply #2 on:** November 04, 2009, 08:37:50 pm »

I hope you're more useful in real life!

Gary_C · « **Reply #3 on:** November 04, 2009, 08:38:34 pm »

That's easy. It's a combination machine used by the KGB as a truth machine and doubles as a meat tenderizer.

Edit: Dang nabbit, Radar beat me to it.

Okay, so it's a prototype winch from Little House on the Prairie!

Looks sorta like a grinder for a cider press. Or for people like me who buy really crappy cuts of beef attracted by the low price. What can I say, my idea of steak is CHICKEN FRIED!

Juicing sugar cane ?

It is an older model DanG beard comb.

log winch thing that just grabs the log, saves on cable. or could be a real aggressive boot cleaner.

Yep! They use those a lot up in Canuckistan. They don't always work as advertised.

It looks like a it might be a device to put holes into a board or timber that is to be pressure treated. Some timbers are treated to refusal without being totally dry. Some species contain a lot of Heartwood. Holes are punched into them (encising) to make them take the treatment better. Look at veneer cores/landscape timbers, for example.

Well, it's a guess anyway.

A "log git-a-long", and it's trying to hide from all of those chainsaws.

you feed a sheep skin through it and it pulls all the wool off,yes you should take the skin off the sheep first

It is for multiple piercings. The kids just lay down and run that over where they want pierced.

Fluted parts on the outside look to be made from brake drums

Dan_Shade · « **Reply #15 on:** November 05, 2009, 05:15:37 am »

I saw it in a "museuem" where a now deceased fellow collected all kinds of old farm implements.

it is in the logging section.

I have been curious to it's purpose since I first saw it.

fishpharmer · « **Reply #16 on:** November 05, 2009, 05:21:21 am »

Definitely a Gar fish scaling machine.

It looks a lot like an anchor winch on the early ships where they used rope to hoist the anchor!

So, could it be a winch that was used with rope to winch logs out of the woods!

Ron Wenrich · « **Reply #18 on:** November 05, 2009, 05:56:34 am »

How's it powered? It looks like there's a hand crank of some sort.

Dan_Shade · « **Reply #19 on:** November 05, 2009, 06:11:52 am »

that's the only picture I have. I should have gotten a picture from the end of it.

timberfaller390 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 05, 2009, 08:10:45 am »

It is hand cranked and you can see that the crank handle on the right side has a ratchet gearbecause the handle cannot be turned all the way around because of the base. This is PART of some kind of press, it's definetly not a winch. The spikes would break with a chain or cable and would shred a rope in short order. It looks like there should be another roller on top.

DanG · « **Reply #21 on:** November 05, 2009, 08:44:26 am »

Debarker perhaps, or a post peeler?

sawdust · « **Reply #22 on:** November 05, 2009, 10:32:19 am »

Possibly at the end of the slab removal belt to toss the slabs off? Would be powered rather than cranked though.

Tom · « **Reply #23 on:** November 05, 2009, 12:12:32 pm »

Rapunzel's comb?

Texas Ranger · « **Reply #24 on:** November 05, 2009, 05:24:26 pm »

Some thing to take care of that Hemorrhoidal itch?

Warbird · « **Reply #25 on:** November 05, 2009, 07:45:08 pm »

It's a taste bud scraper, for those extra special meals the Mrs sometimes cooks.
