1930's Cream separating 

I'm really fascinated with all these analog stuff. Not only are they ingenious, they're emp-proof.

This is why people were in shape back in the old days.

That's a De Laval cream separator. The bowl looks a lot like a model #12, or around that model. That's such a beautiful machine.

Great job Rebecca! Those old cream separators are a lot of work, especially in the heat! Thanks for sharing, you handled it like a pro. :)

Thanks for posting this video...we just got an antique cream separator and it is fascinating watching how these machines work...got some repair to do to the one we got.

your awesome!

Thanks - reading a book where the character in 1934 used a milk separator - appreciate you putting this on RU-vid for us to see how it works

I broke into a slight sweat just watching...Well done, love your hard work!

Very cool. Just picked up an old Montgomery Ward cream separate. I can't figure out how it works. I hear Morse Code mixed in with your video.

Lovely nice old barn and love your cows!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! Took me back to the '60s when my grandmother in southern Alberta had one on their little farm.

Hello Rebecca,God bless your great work. I have just bought an Original Meys Dido Milk Separator Model D. It is a vintage german milk separator on a wooden board which needs to be screwed onto a table or bench. There isn't an instruction manual with it,I wonder if your separator might be very similar to mine,just yours looks bigger.I hope all is well? God bless from Ireland

Looks like a McCormick-Deering machine

We have one in the basement……but electric!

Great video! You look so good doing that! I love farm girls and watching you do that is something that so many have walked away from because they think its just to much work. We also have an old DeLaval cream separator and its used often. Make another video but have your hair down when you do it!

That is a lot of work, it would keep a person quite fit. You did a great job, kept going till the end.

Great video. I also have a McCormick Deering separator. If anyone knows of a place, I am looking for a cream shelf and also the nut on top of the centrifuge.

I am using a smaller one like yours. lol

can tell she doesn't run that separator every day. Why would you have this machine in the barn and not in the milk house away from dirt and flies?

Very cool! I hope to get one soon.

Maybe, as someone said, you can tell she dosent do it everyday, BUT I Wager, she did it a lot 20yrs ago.

That's pretty cool if you ask me...love that barn!

Really, I am trying so hard to work out how to put one back together - does the manual state this?

I thought her arm was going to fall off
