Brings back memories. I worked on a crew using one of those. I'm guessing not many of your viewers will even know how they were used. The track was extended out of the loft under a roof bonnet on a old side rack barn. Team lifted the stack off of wagon with the fork/tongs up to the rail/trolley where it was pulled back into the loft then tripped. It was a very hot dusty job. Mind you I was shirtless, barefoot and wearing short britches. My task was baling well water and carrying the water bucket from the house to the barn for the men at my grandfather's farm. Payment was supper. Only worked on the fork crew a couple of years then my uncle bought a wire tie hay baler. Dang it was still hot & dusty and I was still carrying that water bucket. By the time I was big enough to handle hay we had a twine baler. When I moved from home daddy started round baling. Duh. Daddy's 96, mother's 87, they still live on the farm and lease out the grazing rights.

Been there done that. I also was there the day the big rope broke, the farmer went next door got the older farmer and he sat on a bale of hay and used a single edged razor blade cut and undo the braids of the rope and braided it back together, good to go. Still usable 50 years later. These were fist used for loose hay and some farmers used them for round bales from the Alice Chalmers Roto-baler. the small square bales from other balers would fall apart when dropped from the top of the inside of the barn. this was used when the farmer did not have an elevator to get the bales from the wagon up into the hay loft

I know how they were used. I was born & grew up on a New Hampshire dairy farm in the 1940's. That pulley system (maybe bigger) hung from the hay loft with hay hooks and block & tackle. To me it was a miraculous, fascinating, device. I wish I had salvaged it, but the farm is gone.

My dad just turned 80 and they used this system with both loose hay and bales. With horses and later a tractor. Grandpa had a dairy. And here in California, the barns didn't have a hay loft. The entire center of the barn, from ground to rafters was filled with hay. Along the length of the barn were mangers on each side with locking stanchions. With the loose hay, a hay say was used to saw down a section to be fed off leaving a ledge to stand on. Unfortunately, in the early 1990s one of the original barns burned down due to a lightbulb resting on the hay. The trolley system was still in there at the time. It was really a day. Luckily they were able to save all of the calves.

That intro was hilarious.

LOL, brings back old memories when I set a hay fork to bring in loose hay up to the hay loft. Our job, as kids, was to set the fork and trip the rope when the guys in the mow wanted the load dropped. Team of horses, on the opposite end of the barn, pulled up the load and we pulled it back to the end of the track and the fork would drop for another load. The team had to back up when we were pulling back. Those trollies were a wonderful invention and every barn had one. Hudson made them also. ( Hudson sprayers) Nice restore, Cheers, Lee

Grandpa had them for loose hay and peanuts.....pitchfork loose hay peanuts off the ground onto a wide hay frame on a two horse wagon and headed for the barn.....all his implements were horse powered; sickle bar, rake, plows, wagon, sled. Hay and peanuts were lifted to second floor and through winter loose hay and peanuts were pitch forked to first floor hay feeders. Remember seeing a bird fly off the ground in front of the sickle bar and losing most of it's wings....it was sitting on a nest...I struggled with the event.

Good sense of humor. Another beautiful rescue.

You could just use a second bag with a layer of polyfill or similar so the second bag would stay intact even if the inner one failed. You could also use a vacuum cleaner to pull the bag around the parts and keep the rust remover in contact. Sort of like vacuum marinating them.

I had an old barn I played in, from about 6-18 years old. Was even a good place to get away when I had to move home in my 20s. They tore it down, and burnt it recently. Not much was left, even the glass had melted. The trolly is fully intact though...and I plan on hanging it in my kitchen one day , repurposed as a light fixture. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for this video.

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.

as always a pleasure his videos.I wait every week to see your restorations of those old tools. Thanks!

Carriage bolts are fine for a low stress application like this, and , for a very long time were about all you were going to find outside of a machine shop. (And the ubiquitous brazier/dome headed slotted screw). If you open a lot of modern industrial equipment, you'll still find them lurking about.(Though the square headed nuts are all but extinct. four and eight point sockets are becoming the stuff of legend/myth as well. ) Here's one that might really give you some concern.. The knives on many power driven woodchippers , are held to the disc by carriage bolts.. Albeit very very NICE carriage bolts. As to blasting- Try different media. Walnut or cob might produce a more pleasing finish than silica or glass bead.

Nice look. Probably a lot of farmers back in the day just loved that invention. What a time saver it must have been for them. Thanks for the video.

That finish looks awesome. Really neat combination of techniques to get there, too.

It is fortuitous that there isn't Closed Captioning for what the cat had to say. LOL

Despite the free turning carriage bolts, they were original (if you look at yours, you can even see the square pattern chewed in the neck of the hole in most of the frame), it's that the size is incorrect. Someone's been through this with a butt finger and replaced them. There's a nearly identical, untouched, unmolested one in the collection of a friend. It was new-old stock, the domed heads are rough in look and larger too, and the square nuts aren't in any way shape or form contoured and spit polished like the ones on yours.

@HandToolRescue

@aserta

6 жыл бұрын

Specifically? Impossible to tell, but going by the fact that the carriage bolts on yours are flat to the surface (they don't have that lip all modern ones have) it's probably before the 80's or at least the bolts are. If we go by how much dirt was on it, then it's certainly nothing done "yesterday". I will try to convince my friend to allow me to take a bolt off for a picture, but no promises, he's pretty anal about his stuff. I only know because one of the bolts on the "grabber" flippers was slightly loose, and i saw the much larger square "gripper" that matches the notches on yours, which means yours had them too when new.
