Was it the man standing turning the handle that powered the handpiece? Be no fear of the handpiece heating up I'd imagine😅Old Coffey grinder shearing machine and the three amigos looking on .

My neighbour was telling me when he was a young lad he was put turning the handle for the shearing machine. I'd never seen a picture of one before.You would be tired after doing 200 ewes.
There used to be a similar setup in the dentist.
so you started looking at other people working at a very young age then ?Old Coffey grinder shearing machine and the three amigos looking on .

Now that is a revelation to me!I’ve done this when we’ve found a neighbours sheep in with ours,throw them in the back of the pick-up and then cut the string as you let them go.
We've one of those in the shed here.Old Coffey grinder shearing machine and the three amigos looking on .

Hillman Husky IC 5569 . I think.
Wasn't there a pic of a setup with a row of shearing machines driven by a steam engine on here?There was a tractor PTO version came out after that and also a little petrol engine driven one. Wouldn’t be great for the tractor idling all day at it or if something jammed or broke.
Haven't seen it, sounds very environmentally friendly though!Wasn't there a pic of a setup with a row of shearing machines driven by a steam engine on here?
Or was it Facebook?
I watched it all and there wasn’t a single sheep,I want a refund.😆

Wrong Film![]()
Watched the 1960,s Sundowners and aside from some good shearing near the beginning it was rubbish. It must have been easily amuse us in the 1960,s . Gambling horse racing fighting and drinking beer and some sheep and a love story not with the sheep. That was more 1980,s .I’ve seen worse films,stopped me posting shite on a Saturday night.🤣
That was a good watch,they’ve loads of vid clips regards Colorado history I’ll be lost for hours.Or the range wars?
