The Leahy is suppose to be the Cadillac of the Red Wood incubators. Awesome find. You have yours looking really great already. Keep us posted on your hatch rate. Thank you Rain Wolf for starting this thread it is really interesting to see these dinosaurs. Recycle, reuse can be profitable...
There is a Favorite Incubator made by Leahy listed under Joplin, Missouri. Actually in Lamar, MO. It looks a lot like my Farm Master on the outside. Listed for $300. Says it works. [email protected]
Wow they look like beauties. You know if you buy a new modern incubator you have as much money in them and you check out like Legg peafowl farm he really likes the old redwoods. Peafowl are really temperamental when it comes to heat and humidity. I hope I can tell you next fall that I had a...
Anyone interested I seen a Humidaire Rotary Electric Incubator listed in Iowa city/ Quad Cities. It is located in Cambridge, Illinios listing number is [email protected]. Says fan, heater and light works said inside is good. I take it that it rotates so you don't have to...
I swear I'm never this lucky.
Actually the inside has a bit of surface rust but all the egg turners work so a little steel wool will probably shine it right up. I will take your advise just deep clean it and I will look for a place to enamel the water tray. I sure can afford that with my...
Ok I wanted to show you the inside. Also noted I thought there was 5 trays but there are 6 trays. It doen't seem to have a hatching tray, but there was a wire over the separated tray (water?). Would that be put on the top of the water tray and put the eggs on top of that for the 3 day lock...
Ok. I'm a dummy but I would think this is the water tray. It's divided into 3 sections I suspect for more or less water. I need to sand and paint. Also took a picture of the inside. I pulled the tab the rolls the eggs out on one tray they seem to work really well. Hubby blew it out with the...
I have found one of those kerosene ones also. Would they be hard to restore. This has the kerosene burner on it but it is pretty beat up. Has anyone used them are they hard to regulate?? Last year the electricity went off on a two day set and I lost the eggs. I am hoping that the Farm...
Here is our new winter project. This is a Farm Master 1200. I'm just so excited about it. If I put as much money in it as a new one I still think it will be a head. It's suppose to sit 600 eggs, but I do peafowl so probably hold between 200 and 300.
If I understand this has pullers that...
I'm looking at a Farm Master Incubator 1200. Could anyone give me some history on this incubator? Was it also made by Leahy incubators, as I understand they marketed their incubators to Sears. If it needs rewired or parts will I have to rig that up myself or our there still some parts you can...
