Corn shock tying pulley (Cast-Iron) tool

Post by raincrowe »

This weekend at the flea market I found the most unusual tool...I asked the seller what the tool was and it's function...
He said a corn shock tying pulley... Me being raised on a farm where corn was one of the crop that we grew to feed the livestock
My dad was old-fashion and when the corn was ripe we would cut the corn stalks and shock it later shuck the ears of corn and tie
the fodder (stalks) into bundles to feed the cattle later.....Point being I'd never seen or heard about this so I looked it up
and what he said was true; but I don't know if all the parts are there or how this would work....Could be a different style
for I don't see a pulley..Does anyone have any examples or ideas Thanks for looking.. ::tu::

I’d love to see a video of that in use.

I found a picture of another verison with the pulley; but when checking... I have has no pulley and no place for one; plus mine seems a little smaller
I don't know if I have an earlier or later design but the function seems to be the same!!
