Yeah, there used to be a Birdsall clover huller in our family. Grand-dad was a custom operator of harvesting machinery in the 1900-1950 era, having a Avery thresher, Rosenthal corn husker, Rumely silo filler, Birdsall clover huller, and a Frick portable sawmill. Through the years he used a Model F Rumely, a 24 Horsepower Port Huron steam traction engine and a 30-60 Rumely Model S for power to run these various machines.. In my younger years I worked with all these outfits until they became obsolete. Clover hulling (threshing) was a dirty job, usually it was the second cutting of various legumes that was cut with a sickle mower/windrower then hand bunched and left a couple to five days to dry in the field then brought to the huller on flat rack wagons and hulled. If you got over 5 bushels of clean clover or alfalfa seed off 10 acres it was considered worthwhile to do this back in those days.

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
