- In this video I take you through the first half of my restoration and rebuild of a 100+ year old hand cranked corn sheller. Picked it up cheap at an auction, but it required a full rebuild.

Pick up a grill brick from restaurant supply store. Work great for cleaning up flat cast iron surfaces. Then they will be shiny.
Great idea
That fan is the chaff fan. It is supposed to blow the chaff away from the corn seeds….
Great video!
Cool, thanks! Can't wait to see it in action :) Well I guess I'll have to wait, likely still have a couple more weekends worth of effort to get it completely done. Have started the re-assembly of it yesterday though. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, very much appreciated.
Wow, what a nice find and a super project. Would this grinder have been something used by someone at home or a business? I have never seen one before. Any idea of a manufacturing date and company? I'm looking forward to your completion of this.
Unfortunately there is no brand name on it, I'm assuming it used to be painted on (I can send you a link to one that looks similar), my understanding is it would have been a home use item. I'm hoping to do the same if the critters stay out of my corn this year :) This link shows how I hope it works when I'm done: czcams.com/video/mnJxRrZx0kI/video.html
Last year I bought a hand-crank grain mill to turn the corn into flour - but have not had a chance to try it out yet.
@@TryNewThingsyou are correct, manufacturer name was painted on outside. Inside was not painted however. I used one of these to shell open pollinated white hominey corn for my grandmother to use in the kitchen. Ours had some casting names on some large exterior parts. The cleaning fan removed silks. Ours had a sheet metal door over top opening. Believe it was hinged. Similar to fan housing. Brings back lots of memories. Thanks for sharing.
Great info David. My plan is to paint the side panels red. The reason for the fan now makes sense to me. Only stampings on the metal bits on mine are like 12A and other numbers. Was your sheet metal door over the 'corn ejection port / curved part'? And not cast iron? If so, my final plan may be closer to original than I thought. One question I really would like to ask ... why only handles on the front? Seems like all you can do is spin it, certainly can't pick it up, guess you could drag it.
@@TryNewThings you are right, they were numbers on cast pieces, not names. My bad.
The sheet metal was on top where you were missing a part. If my memory serves me correct, it had hinges on it? It looked much like material on fan housing. The goal was not to crack corn, but she’ll it. Cracked corn grew stale and was used right away. I have never seen a sheller with handles. I did see one with a washing machine motor(gas) used in a barn for cow feed. It shelled the old reeds yellow dent corn.
Can the music. sheesh
