Mailman if I ever get to the states I'm definitely checking out those Cracker Barrel restaurants. I love that kind of atmosphere. Third generation farmer here. Fortunately Dad was into memorabilia , farming, automotive,etc so I've inherited all kinds of cool interesting stuff. Not worth much to anyone else but it is to me.

I Googled that and pictures come up but none show close up details of where that mechanism is located on the machine.

If that’s the case, you could be talking about horse drawn farming even.
Horse drawn farming is actually still going on in some areas near me, more than a few Amish farms near here! Went past one to see them mowing the hay field with a horse drawn sickle-bar mower last summer.

Great info, Ken !

Yeah I think the old farmers probably called this one. Fun find Dude! Keep it up!
By the way I recall my folks talking about growing up with big Belgian Draft horses on their farm when they were kids. My dad went in with my grandfather to buy a new Model A pickup for the farm, when he was young.
