Pump leathers in demand
Regarding the letter about the need for pump leathers in the October issue, the Farm Collector staff might do several of us a service if they could find a manufacturer or retailer for pump leathers. I have a blow torch and plumbers lead pot that need small leathers less than 1 inch in size.

Looking for burr mill illustrations
I am restoring an N.P. Bowsher burr mill, manufactured about 1910. It has a sacking elevator connected to the mill. I would like some pictures or drawings so I could redo the artwork on the hopper and elevator. Thank you.

Information sought on corn sheller
I own a corn sheller assembled with hand-wrought nails. It is maroon in color. The company logo is written on the front of the sheller. It reads according to the drawing. Any information would be appreciated.
Also, I enjoy your magazine. The accounts of the past are insightful and informative. One point to critique is on the August 2001 cover. A "Jaeger" engine was featured with no accompanying article. I would like to see more stories on engines and the farm equipment they powered.

June Co. information sought
I would like for you to help me find information on the D. June Co. of Fremont, Ohio. The company made traction steam engines. I have a 1906 Champion Traction 6 hp made by D. June Co. It's a real neat little engine. Also, I am looking for information on Adam's horse-drawn graders. I have restored two. Thank you.
