Capstan Drive Is Pulling The Strings On This Dynamic Quadruped

A fully operational wooden threshing mill around 140 years old give or take a few. John the owner told me a stray piece of wood had blocked the seed chute at one point. A rare sight indeed. To the left is a relatively common chaff cutter. | Fiordland Vintage Machinery Museum Inc

Crankup 2026. Max showing how to do pulling with his double Fordson. Did pretty well too I reckon. The course slightly uphill & the soil loose after many pulling attempts. Max drove the rig from Te Anau over 3 days. Cheers Bob | Fiordland Vintage Machinery Museum Inc

Crankup 2026. The usual stationary engines. I spoke with the chap from Wyndam who is always there. He has his 2.5hp Warwick running very evenly indeed. Our 4hp engine runs ok but with the occasional backfire. | Fiordland Vintage Machinery Museum Inc
