COLIN - I think Your thinking of a HEIDER auger wagon, red frame & lower 'V' shaped box with the galvanized straight sides.the Grain-O-Vators were dark green with yellow trim. Dad had a Heider and several neighbors had G-O-Vators.

Dad's Heider spent MANY thousands of miles every summer behind the Super H and the '39 H before that. I'm afraid i dont have any pictures that i am aware of, but im POSITIVE the faded lettering painted on the box was Grain-O-Vator, though the round heider logo looks vaguely familar.. I did a search and see a pic of the Heider unit on ebay. Its similar, but its not the same. The Grain-O-Vator we had only had galvanized upright sides, without extensions.

The V was painted steel, as was the auger, and on the rear like the Heider. The green grain-o-vators i do believe came into existence after the initial company (NAMCO) was sold. We have two of the old green Grain-O-Vator wagons. Both are turret swing augers that are hyd. Lift and hyd.

One is 400 bushel, and the other I'm not sure about. All I know is it holds 3 ton of ground feed, but not one ounce more. I've dumped a lot of feed through the smaller one.

One thing I can tell anyone for certain is that when that 400 bushel wagon is full of anything, it takes a looooooong time to unload it! Here's a shot of Dad unloading into one of the feeders on the old Cargill several years ago. That same 460 is still hitched to that wagon. Probably hasn't had the hitch pin pulled in over 10 years. As was said before, Grain O Vators were green. North American Manufacturing company if I remember correctly.

Made somewhere in Iowa. There were several sizes. 10, 20, and 30, were the most popular around us. The 10 and 20 had augers in the bottom and the 30 had a drag chain about a foot wide, and would unload silage if it did not bridge over. I think that they also made a number 40 or 50 that was a silage wagon (feed wagon) with a drag chain and side unloading conveyor.

The Heider wagons that I remember were galvanized with red steel frame. They also made barge box wagons. Heider was made in Iowa too, Carrol, Ia. Dad's wasn't in quite as good a shape as the one Colin posted the pic of.had unpainted 1X12's for side boards, only step was welded on the front about 12' wide X 6' deep it seemed.been pulled over WAY too many freshly oiled dirt roads but at least it didn't have much rust.and the axle, wheels, & tires were something salvaged off a '30's vintage IHC truck steering axle with the kingpins welded solid rated for WAY more than the tires, 6.50 or 7.00 X 20's that Dad could find were capable of handling. Neighbor gave Dad the factory Heider axle with wheels for 8.25 X 20 truck tires and promptly snapped a spindle one morning doing chores so the old IHC axle went back on. As long as I could put enough cloths on to stay warm the 6-7 mile ride into town that auger wagon feed the hogs all year.

All the ear corn got ground and fed to the cattle, all the hog feed was bought, Land-Lord paid half of the outside supplier bills but NOTHING for the gas to run a mix-mill. Dad raised 600-800 hogs every year too. I'd much prefer to raise cattle.lot less work! It's a wonder I can eat ANY pork anymore.but I could eat it every meal!

Yes, I recall the Heider being made in Carroll, Iowa and I believe the Grain-o-Vator was made in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Spend many hours with a Grain-o-Vator in high school feeding hogs in the days before Dad acquired a grinder mixer.

Used to grind corn with a hammer mill into the Grain-o-Vator. We had a number 10.

They were a dark green in color. My Grandpa had a Heider - they were galvanized as I recall. Del The first one we had that was new in the mid sixties had a walking beam tandem axle set up, and was about 150 bu capacity, don't recall if it was a number 10 or a number 20.

When you mentioned the one you had was a number 10, it jarred something loose in my feeble brain and made me recall those model numbers, they had a model 10, 20 and model 30 back in those days. As was said before, Grain O Vators were green. North American Manufacturing company if I remember correctly. Made somewhere in Iowa. There were several sizes.
