Yea it was exciting to work around these old units but do not forget the quote that a treshing machine would kill 7 men and a boy every day and still I doubt a single machine would thresh more than 10 acres of wheat in a day. Some of the old wheat farmers might clear that up. It was hard work, much harder than most of us do now. I did work a little on a similar unit since peanuts was one of the last crops to mechanize. It took two days of hard work for three men and a boy to thresh 5-acres of peanuts. The early two row peanut combines and one or two men would easily do 7 or 8 acres in a single day. Stationary peanut threshing units were common until the early 1960's so I got in on the very tail end of a dying era. I would not want to go back.
