Looks fun Jeff! Try a free standing corn sheller sometime, that's what my dad said they used to do.

[QUOTE=Jeff in Pa;446103]Turn the handle and drop whole ears in? More bushels done by hand than I could count.
Dad said they just poured/dumped in the walnuts to remove the husks. I never saw it done. The walnut trees were cut about 40 years ago, starting to die and one had about a 1 foot dia. rotten/hollow spot inside. I do remember enough walnuts on the ground to hold the lawnmower up. We still have the corn sheller.

Dad and I also used the hand crank corn sheller to get the husk of black walnuts. Fed in one on top of another as fast as we could get them in, no hopper.
That was when we were going to crack them for our own consumption. Then for a few years a local fruit tree nursery was paying us for them and paid if without husk. We hauled them home by the 1973 International pickup truck piled as high as we dared. Then jacked up one rear tire of the CC 125 and let the air out. Made a 2x6 with side boards into a ramp/chute of sorts under the spinning tire. We shoveled walnuts onto the ramp/chute, nuts went under tire and shot out at a hunk of plywood propped up about 15 feet downstream. Between getting squeezed and going splat against the plywood, the husk was off. |

Had one of those in the barn growing up, it's what we used to do as well. Didn't work perfect but we had enough damn walnuts that we could stand losing a few if they didn't come out right

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
