Gas-Powered Ice Cream Freezers FARM HOME Food 20-1-37 I thought FARM SHOW readers might get a kick out of these gas-powered ice cream freezers. I built them because there aren't always receptacles at parks for electric freezers and nobody wants to spend all day at a picnic making ice cream with a hand-cranked freezer.
The larger freezer (pictured) is made out of an old-fashioned White 3-gal. hand-cranked model. I power it with a 1 1/2 hp Deere "hit and miss" engine. I use large and small pulleys to gear rpm's on the belts down low enough to be suitable for ice cream-making.
The smaller freezer is made out of an old White 1-gal. hand-cranked model. It's powered with a 1 1/2 hp Briggs and Stratton engine. I used the gear reduction box off an old circle irrigation system on this one.
I mount the rigs on wagons I built out of scrap metal.
I can make ice cream in 35 to 40 minutes with these freezers. They're really a novelty at picnics, especially for people who've never seen one of those old "one lung" Deere engines at work. (Dale Fisher, 4227 Mae Val-ley Road, Moses Lake, Wash 98837; ph 509 765-3990).
