Thanks NSBF, I thought I was gonna have to embarrass myself by either taking more wrong pictures or crappy video.

Fair set up time and Judging honey tomorrow I guess it is today now, Pulled the pictures off the display and  scanned the mechanism and shaft parts at 500% doesn't shoe the pulley secondary shaft but If I remember right there was a pin that stuck out of the pulley and would engage in the next tooth of the sprocket every revolution.

And from the other side, Ignore the parts of the capping spinner.


I hope these help. I will try to track down where the extractor ended up, it was the sun Brian Fuhr that sold off all the equipment. I will see if he remembers where it ended up.
This extractor was at the honey house of Leo Fuhr. Related through marriage to Perry.

That is it!!

The small pulley and belt is what is missing, and the pin on the large pulley was also.

That is exactly how I had kind of envisioned it to work. The small pulley would need to be replaced along with the pin.

Thanks very much for the pics.

This is an extractor and uncapper that is for sale very close to me and they said it came out of Wisconsin, there is a mans last name painted on the front of the extractor "NEISES", I think is how it was spelled.
She has a whole garage load of bee junk for sale at a pretty good price but I have no where to store it.

What type of uncapper steam jiggle knife? it was what was used back in the day when the extractor was new.

It is a Cowen uncapper, a very old one. The side panels are of cast aluminum not the new stainless sheet metal. Not sure if it is the uncapper or the silver queen. Had several other SS tanks and extractors, frames, foundation, boxes, bottles, bears, wax separator (old Kelley's), couple of barrels of corn syrup, etc...

Just a good smathering of bee junk. Price was fair but just no where for me to store all of it.

Finally decided to pass on the deal.

Gotta say it Keith, you are a fountain of information in the beekeeping community. The knowledge you have is amazing, and we are lucky here to have you contributing the way you do. I wish at times that when I still lived in Vernon I had met you, and perhaps had paid closer attention to what Uncle Leo was really doing. Who knows what the end result might have been?
