[QUOTE=Jeff in Pa;446103]Turn the handle and drop whole ears in? More bushels done by hand than I could count.


Dad said they just poured/dumped in the walnuts to remove the husks. I never saw it done. The walnut trees were cut about 40 years ago, starting to die and one had about a 1 foot dia. rotten/hollow spot inside. I do remember enough walnuts on the ground to hold the lawnmower up. We still have the corn sheller.
