I found a old stover burr mill yesteday. The hopper has "for Ford Chassis" stamped on it. Has anyone evey seen one of these? I have a picture of a Stover corn sheller mounted on a T frame, but can not find anything about a burr mill. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

This was an auction on somewhere about 2-3 years ago,i saved the photos of the T's in it.

Neat! That one looks a little diferant than mine in that it doesent have the legs on it.

Matt, I suspect that your machine was later "converted" to operate from another power source and installed on those elaborate cast iron legs.

Here's the International Harvester version. I picked it up for five bucks at a farm auction this spring. With the belt pulley, you'd run it from a pulley attached to the rear wheel of the T, or one of those pulley units that sits under the rear wheels.

It is getting common around here for people to use these things.I know 1 fellow that has about 6 cows and he grows his corn and other stuff and makes his own cow feed.He does buy some mineral supplements to mix in it.

Those gears are not OSHA compliant.

When I was young there were a lot of farmers missing fingers and arms from machines like that one.

Matt - maybe Mr. Maurer would have some information for you. I found this on the "Gas Engine Magazine" site. It pertains to gas engines but I'm sure they have information on anything Stover -

"Stover Mfg. & Engine Co. enthusiast Joe Maurer is the current custodian of the Stover gas engine factory records. For the last year or so, Joe has been offering Stover owners shipping information about their engines by looking up their serial numbers. He has also compiled all of the engines he's looked up into a growing Stover registry, which you'll find below.

RELATED CONTENTThe Stover records are made available through the courtesy of the Stephenson County Antique Engine Club, Freeport IL. The records are stored at the Silver Creek Museum, which is owned by the Engine Club. Donations are not required but any donation received for looking up Stover numbers go to the preservation of the records".

This looks like the basic patent.

Here is the link to the engine registry that Lance found.
I see the Geo A Clark and Son name mentioned as having received engines.

James is right. I knew a fellow who had his arm torn off by an open belt. My dad had his right arm torn off in an old AC roto baler. My brother in law lost his left arm in a corn picker. My little brother's little finger was cut off and his arm and third finger badly broken caught in hydraulic arms on the tractor, and this is just in my immediate family. I've known several people who were killed.

These old farm relics are a lot of fun to display and demonstrate but be very careful. This antique machinery was built long before they knew what a safety shield was. It's a horrible thing to have to take a piece of machinery apart to remove a person. A memory you'll soon not forget.

Thanks for all the info guys. I have several other Letz and IHC mills but this is the only one I have found that is spacificly built for the model T. I work with this old stuff all the time and understand that you must respect it. Does anyone know how it is conected to the Model T I have an extra chassy and would like to set it up for shows. More photos would be great. Thanks again! Lindy

I WANT ONE!!!! :D

That is what I said when I saw this one, and was lucky enough to take it home.
