Any value here?

I have one a lot like that one but still flat belt drive. Came from the family farm up in MN

$50 - $100. Maybe more or less at an auction, but not by much. That would really make a Cub grunt.

So do I. Mine is a New Holland machine. I grid corn for pig and chicken feed with mine. Mine runs off a flat belt also as it was originally build to do.

Cub PTO would spin the wrong direction to be able to use it. Cub PTO spin opposite of other tractors

I'm just batting 1000 this evening. Lol! I missed the PTO shaft. I was thinking it has a flat belt drive.

It would be better if it had the cyclone still.

Value is in the eyes of the beholder.

To me it would have a negative value because I would have to pay someone to haul it off.
I'm not one to collect stuff just to say I have one.
My sister is worse than me.
If it has not been used in 6 months she is ready to get rid of it.

Not much. Only to the right person. It looks very much like the old David Bradley of my grandfathers which I have. I converted mine to PTO, and this looks nearly identical.

Id take a very close look at the pto shaft & u joints. Sometimes the old ones violently come apart.

The one thing I see them used for around here is to chip or grind tobacco stalks. After ground they blow them on the yard for fertilize. Like someone said when they show up at auction $50/100 at the most.

Its like the one I use to grind oats for cattle feed except mine are still flat belt drive. The one I'm using (McCormick) has a fibre pulley that is wearing out from years out in the weather. The old Case, very similar except bigger and cast pulley, has bad bearings and I've never been able to get it apart to replace them.

scrap iron.

That looks like an M-M mill. I used to grind corn for the pigs and cattle after school in the evenings with one with a flat belt drive. Tractor was either a 1953 Fordson Major Diesel or a 1948 Field Marshall. It was a fixed hammer rather than a pivioting hammer. We also use to take the shitter out of the grain hopper and feed straw and hay through it to chop for mixing with supplements.

Once put a wad of straw in and the pitch fork got stuck and went through, heck of a crash that brought everyone running, no damage to the mill but the pitchfork was in small pieces.

Hi Majorman, MM must have sold a lot of their hammer mills here in the UK because when I worked in the stores at J L Maltby ltd of Newark from 1958 to 1966 we kept sets of hammers in stock and sold a lot of them.Witch was the best tractor for driving the hammer mill as my guess would be the Field Marshall.

I've heard and read that many times. I have zero experience with Cubs. What is the logic for that? Is it for the belly mowers?
