Brought the new crusher home today. Its a Pioneer Engineering 40-22 roll crusher that was built in 1945. The front axle is manufactured by Pioneer Engineering, but the tracks are Athey.

That thing is really nifty! That really has some character, has done a lot of work in its time and no doubt is ready to do more.
I love stuff like this, that was used with our tractors and can be used to put them to work again. That would look really good being towed through a parade by a Thirty or Sixty. Then, after the parade, you can belt up to it and sit there and crush rocks all day. What fun!
Thanks for posting,
Pete.

That thing is beyond awesome.
I've been keeping my eye out for a vintage crusher for several years (only a little smaller:biggrin1:) since my property is ripe with rocks and every field edge has huge piles of them just waiting for something to do!

Tell me you're going to ditch the boring electric motor and fit it out for belt work off the RD6 or Gas Seventy (or whatever coolest old timer you have with a belt pulley). That's a video I'd watch all day long! (probably at Sasquatch's place by the sounds of it...)

That crusher puts my little Stover hammer mill to shame. Course my little lime.crusher needs a total rebuild. Maybe of I can get all the parts home, this could be my summer project if I can get the time and $$$ to work together. My Stover lime hammer mill is a WPA machine from a quarry in the Illinois bluffs. I purchase new chain and buckets for it years ago, now where did I pit them?

Thanks guys! Here's what I would really like to do, but I'm not sure how difficult it will be. We have an old D13000 that powers our Universal 880 crusher. We are going to retire the D13000 to the collection soon and I would like to make it run this crusher. I don't know if I would mount it on the front of this one or leave it on wheels and run the crusher from the ground.
