  1. 1546 is a hay loader from the Horse & Buggy days.
    It was pulled behind the hay wagon and it gathered the hay from the ground, sending it up the incline by "walkers" (there are a couple missing in the picture) dropping it onto the rear of the hay wagon. Workers then forked it to the front of the wagon. Dirty Job!

  2. 1548 is a Tubing Expander used to expand the ends of tubing to seal it in a head plate. Possibly used on boiler tubes of a steam engine.
