1/3rd scale Case Hay Press

As you can tell this 1/3rd sized scale Case hay press was almost too big a project for my workshop. To scale it, the wheels are 12' in diameter, and the overall length is 7'.

At this point the model was complete other than painting, and I had temporarily mounted an electric motor on it, allowing me to put it through its paces, making sure there were no bugs that needed fixing.
Once ready to roll, I would be powering it with a original Stover hit & miss gasoline engine that I restored.

Once I had it painted, it was put to work as seen here.....

Also of interest is the fact that I shot this B&W Image with my homebuilt 4" x 5" film view camera as seen here....
