The F.E. Myers & Bro. Co. Sure Grip Hay Trolley

Very ornate with a lot of original paint still left this is an interesting attractive hay trolley. But we could not find a patd date on this one which is rare for F.E. Myers. If anyone knows about this unit please let us know. As usual for the Myers company this is made in Ashland Ohio and comes with 20′ of original hemp rope and one of the original pulleys.

The Adjustable Hay Trolley

Made by The F.E. Myers & Bro.Co. Ashland O. USA. Padt on April 13 1909 this unit is seized up. We could break it loose with some oil and elbow grease and dollars but that will leave oil stains on it. Again what is up with the matching patented dates.

Myers Cross Draft Unloader H389

Made by The F.E. Myers & Bro.Co. Ashland O. USA. Padt on April 13 1909. The patented date matches other F.E. Myers hay trolleys and we are not sure why. We do know that the bottoms units and top roller brackets can be interchanged for timber runners, cable runners, and track style like this one. We do have a matching drop pulley for this one. Generally they come with 2 but by the time we reclaim them there is just one most of the time.

Rusty J. E. Porter Co. Trolley

This trolley is not operational and rusted stiff. Much like all of then it could probably be broken loose with some time, effort, and oil but for now is just for looks. That fact is keeping the cost down on this one.
Embossed on the side is: J.E.Porter Co. Ottawa, ILL.

The Goshen Timber Runner

Don’t know much about this work horse but it looks like it was made to get the job done with no frills. We just hung the drop pulley on here but generally it would be on the rope to hook onto whichever hay forks or net used. We do have plenty of original rope for sale at $2.00 a foot to actually put this unit back to work.
Embossed on the side is: The Goshen MFC. CO. Hade St. Goshen Indiana

When the levers are pulled down it will line up the points of the harpoon to let the hay bail slide off. As it sits it measures about 1.5″ thick by 23″ wide by 37″ tall.

Hay Forks

Very rare hay forks. We almost never get these do to they are the first thing to get lost or easily removed and even sold to working farms that have a damaged one. This set is in great condition and in working order. A small rope for the release mechanism would be needed if this is going to be put into use. As it sits it measures about 3″ thick by 26″ wide by 45″ tall.

J.E. PORTER CO. Hay Trolley

J.E. PORTER CO. OTTAWA ILL is embossed on the sides of this ornate hay trolley. Had to personally risk my life to get this one stuck in the center of a very tall barn that was being demolished just north of Byron, MI. Had to stick a 28′ ladder in the middle of no where’s and catch it on the track that does move and swing. But had to save it before they dropped the barn and broke it. So please make it worth the effort and buy this one with the story you can tell.
Thanks to a great enthusiast this has been completely and professional restored to it’s former glory. Picture below to show the process and amazing finished results. When he gets his web site up we hope to post it here for your enlightenment and enjoyment. He has an amazing amount of info on hay trolleys.
