In the "Wonderful Machine" chapter of "Little House in the Big Woods" Pa has a team of men to come in and help him thresh his wheat. Later on threshing machines would be mainly be powered by steam engines on wheels, but in the early days they were turned by literal horse power. Teams of horses would pull in a circle turning gears to make the machine work. A tumbling bar transferred the power from the horse power to the thresher or other machine that you needed.
This video was filmed at @midwestoldthreshers4591 during the Old Threshers Reunion in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Enjoy watching the horse teams turn and that Midwest Old Threshers is a great place to visit every year around Labor Day.
