Barber-Greene Tracked Bucket Elevator - 1946

Wonder if there might be an easier way to crowd into a pile?

Anyway, I finally got the auger on this into some crumb rubber!





A little faster gearmotor would be nice.
It seems to have plenty of power to chew through the rubber, and runs pretty well.

Until it suddenly stopped loading.
My wooden motor mount let go, likely from extra strain of someone "helping" it load faster by dumping handfulls of rubber onto the elevators...

Young operators haven't learned to size the their hauler against the loader available to load it. A person with a Quarry dump truck will get bored waiting on a lower yard machine to fill.
