Build a Conveyor Elevator for Grain, Hay
These plans are for a conveyor belt machine that is an elevator for hay and grain.
Tossing bales of hay around or
scooping grain from truck to bin is a
dusty, tiring job, as every farmer
knows. And always, during the harvest
season, every minute counts. That's
why elevators like the one pictured are
so popular as farm helpers.
This one is
especially handy because it's a self-contained unit mounted on a rubber tired
trailer truck and fitted with a
raising mechanism and a built-in
motor drive.
All that's necessary is to
back it up to the barn or granary, raise
the conveyor leg to the proper height to
deliver the hay or
grain where you
want it, plug the
motor into the
power source and
you're ready for
work, all in a matter
of minutes.
The builder of
this particular unit
used the angles
from old windmill
towers for the conveyor
frame, the
trailer or truck was
made up by working
over a Ford Model-T chassis, and for the
balance of the construction he used salvage
from the farm scrap pile and purchased,
new, such parts as sprockets, shafts and
pulleys.
With this method of building, the unit
can be put together for only a few dollars cash
exclusive of the motor or engine. Wherever
practical, the parts are arc welded for strength.
