This thresher is on display outside the main display hall of the Claresholm & District Museum. It's on steel wheels and has a wooden return elevator, indicating possibly a pre 1920s date of manufacture. I still haven't figured out who made it.
On the intake chute is a decal of the Hart Grain Weigher Co. of Peoria, Illinois, while on the wooden return elevator is the word Reliance. The grain weigher is still mounted, complete with grain chute. The paint on the frame is both green and yellow, so that is of little help in identifying the manufacturer. The grain elevator on this thresher is mounted on the right, a la Massey Harris, and the opposite of McCormick and Nichols & Shepard.
