What is it? - The Game

[Mtnman1830]

So, what is it?

[Jaxx]

old wheat grinder? Put the wheat in the bucket thing on the left and somehow the wheels turn mechanical or hand?

[Last Child]

More pics from different angles please.

I would have to agree on some sort of grain grinder thingy majig.

Nope

[RugerShooter]

I know, I know but that would be cheating if I told, since I have seen this item myself. :nod:

[Rev. Coyote]

Looks like a single-cyl. gasoline engine -- one that would fire only a few times per minute as the heavy flywheels absorbed the energy. Is it a "Waterloo Boy" engine?

[Mtnman1830]

Correct! It is a one cylinder gasoline engine. The engines that fired occasionally are called hit-and-miss.

They were used to run a variety of implements from the turn of the century, using a flat belt.

This engine is a Woodpecker and came off a self propelled lawnmower.

Good Job Rev!

Correct! It is a one cylinder gasoline engine. The engines that fired occasionally are called hit-and-miss.

They were used to run a variety of implements from Apple Cider Presses to Wheat Grinders (i couldn't think of anything that started with a 'Z' off hand)

This engine is a Woodpecker and came off a self propelled lawnmower.

Good Job Rev!

Are you looking to restore this one? I remember as a kid watching these things run in displays at the State Fair. Wonderful engines.

Its my dad's. Yeah, he is restoring it. Along with a dozen others he has picked up over the years.

These are really fun - there isn't a key, or a start button. You start the engine by turning the flywheels. The engine fires and runs - almost literally in the palm of your hand!



WHO IS NEXT?

[Jaxx]

here is one that should be pretty easy.

[RugerShooter]

[Mtnman1830]

For making toast?

[Last Child]

Yeah I just saw one of these on the show True Blood.

Mtnman1830 got it right. For making toast in the fireplace.

[Jaxx]

For making toast?

WinnAr!

[RugerShooter]

Here is another

[Scott Card]

Apple peeler/slicer?

[KapitanSparrow]

[RugerShooter]

:nod: that was to easy :nod:

[KapitanSparrow]

:nod: that was to easy :nod:

Who won?!

[Rev. Coyote]

Here is another

Peels and cores apples.

[Deathcricket]

This is probably easy for you guys, being a nerd though this one stumped me.

[Rev. Coyote]

This is probably easy for you guys, being a nerd though this one stumped me.

Mechanics' stethescope for isolating valve issues. I think.

[RugerShooter]

:nod: that was to easy :nod:

Scott was right, apple pealer

[RugerShooter]

This is probably easy for you guys, being a nerd though this one stumped me.

Mechanics' stethescope for isolating valve issues. I think.

That would be my guess to.

[Deathcricket]

No one said anal stethoscope? I'm disappointed!

You are both correct however.

[RugerShooter]

OK here is one

[greyhair biker]

gas or water valve? :ne_nau:

[RugerShooter]

gas or water valve? :ne_nau:

[Mtnman1830]

gas or water valve? :ne_nau:

[RugerShooter]

:nod: It is a shower valve :nod:

[KapitanSparrow]

What is this? :haha:

[RugerShooter]

A STILL?

[Mtnman1830]

Looks like a still to me.

[KapitanSparrow]

You guys are correct. Man that was easy.

I think this will be tough.... But I can't wait to read the guesses!

I will give a hint in a while if nobody knows... davis_b_1 - sorry you have to sit out again!

[accadacca]

Nutcracker. :lol8:

[Mtnman1830]

Nutcracker. :lol8:

You are correct, in that it is used to inflict pain

[RugerShooter]

davis_b_1 - sorry you have to sit out again!

DAMNIT, but yes this is a toughy :nod:

[Mtnman1830]

If, by the time I wake up, there isn't a winner, I will post a bigger hint.

Common, folks, at least guess!

Failed French tickler design...?

[Udink]

Is it some sort of chastity device?

[RugerShooter]

Is it some sort of chastity device?


Failed French tickler design...?

Since mtnman is in bed I will answer

Nope & Nope

[JP]

Lost :ne_nau:

[bbennett]

Is it a trap?

[Mooseman70]

Is it used for moving multiple bales of hay at once? :ne_nau:

[Scott Card]

I have no clue. It looks like some sort of spreader, like a rib spreader or something you would stick in a bale of hay, spread it and lift. :ne_nau:

[shlingdawg]

It appears as if it pivots near the bottom. The two round balls on top may be handles of some kind? Or something that could prevent a rope from slipping off if tied to that part of the device.

Is it something to hand up a dead game animal for drying/skinning/gutting?

[Mtnman1830]

Here is the same thing, but a different design.

[Skylinerider]

Calf weaner FTW

[Mtnman1830]

Calf weaner FTW

CORRECT!!!!!

[Scott Card]

Jeez, no wonder cows have such big nostrils. :haha:

[KapitanSparrow]

WTF is it for? i.e. how does it work?

[RugerShooter]

You put it in the calf's nostrils, spikes outward, so when it goes to get some milk from mom the spikes jab mom's titts, and since mom don't like getting poked in the titt she will not let the calf have any food, so it will be weaned from her.

[KapitanSparrow]

That's barbaric! Let the little cow have some milk for Pete's sake!

[abirken]

I think that's horrid. I'm calling PETA. :eek2:

[Mtnman1830]

Nobody posted another, so I will go again. (I can do this for quite a while)

[RugerShooter]

I take it I can't guess this one either :frustrated:

[Mooseman70]

OH! OH! OH! I know! I know!

It's an old piece of iron you have in your shed?

[KapitanSparrow]

No fcukign clue! :2thumbs:

[Rev. Coyote]

Is it a guide of some sort, maybe to roll a log towards a headrig?

[RugerShooter]

Is it a guide of some sort, maybe to roll a log towards a headrig?

Nope, it's used on a farm
