What you have is a Whirlwind Rotary Terracer. This terracer consists of a shortened moldboard plow to cut and lift a furrow slice up into a rapidly revolving vertical power-driven auger,which throws the dirt to the side.The auger is driven from the tractor power take-off by either gears or v-belts.

I Love These old books.Hope this helps HB
