    The plough and pulper would be the nicest things there.

    The crusher is a bit too new, may be of practical use to someone tho.
    The lister looks like a generator(?) too modern to be of interest, but if it runs may be a practical item also.

    Thanks a million I appreciate your reply. I found a few more bits in another shed and would be grateful if you would take a look.

    And this Morris which I think is some sort of a wench.

    A bucket from a bucket milking machine, what looks like an (incomplete) lamp of some sort and what looks like a milking machine pump(?)

    More appropriate for a vintage bring and buy sale, there are guys that collect agri items that turn up at these, they're not very sought after generally.

    I didn't mean to be cruel but old doesn't equal valuable and the amount of old farm machinery that I've dealt with over the years...:D

    No your grand, just don't want to throw something which I know absolutely nothing about out just in case it might be valuable. My knowledge of farming is extremely limited, so appreciate the advice.

    Is this part of an old parrafin heater? Maybe for a lambing shed or similar?

    If you want to get some money out of it, sell it on donedeal or adverts. As long as the stuff is cheap there is always some one to buy it. The lister engine is an aircooled diesel model and looks to have some sort of gearbox on it. The grain mill is a bit newer but would still sell and the 'Wexford' beet pulper is still highly collectible, and the plough too obviously.

    This stuff isnt worth a fortune but you will get feck all if you scrap it. Plus its nicer if some uuses them

    and yess that thing is the base off of a paraffin heater,

    What was it used for?

    I have a bigger one, a fairly primitive form of domestic heating/space heater.
    Basically a glorified oil lamp.

    Not advisable to use one as a heater now, what with the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

    We used to use one of these back in the 70's

    They were very popular before the SuperSer gas heater killed them off. We had that rectangular Aladdin model and a circular model similar to this which was easy to lug up and down the stairs in our freezing house. Back then most houses were so draughty with old sash windows that carbon monoxide wasn't a threat to anyone!

    Guys many thanks for your input, much appreciated. Testacalda thank you so much very helpful info. I will put them on Done Deal or Adverts as I said I didn't want to just throw them out for scrap as I didn't even know what some of the items were until I started looking up google images. Didn't come from a farming background.
