We had a Montgomery Wards similar in cylinder size to the one in the picture. Ours had a traveling feed table that was controlled by a centrifugal clutch. It also had a chute on top for small grain so you could grind hay or ear corn and add soybean concentrate at the same time. You had to use the top chute for any small grain such as oats or milo, as small grain couldn’t be fed through it from the traveling feed table, there was about 1/4 inch gap where the belting turned as it fed the ear corn into the throat. We ground thousands and thousands of bushels of ear corn and many tons of hay through it as well as oats and milo with a Farmall H, but we used bigger pulley on it, I think it came off of an M. The smaller drive pulley on the mill gave it enough RPM’s. (Grinding milo through the 1/4 inch screen did work the snot out of the H though.) It never gave us any trouble; I don’t ever remember even putting a bearing in it. We did change the hammers around one time. They had four different cutting sides that you could use, just turn them over and after that side wore, you could change them end-for-end. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
