Sheriff Keeps Watch On Farm AG WORLD Ag World 19-6-22 "I built this sheriff sculpture just for fun last winter out of spare parts. He keeps watch over our place," says Pasco, Wash., inventor Ben Grant.
The 6-ft., 2-in. tall, 350-lb. "statue" is made from an assortment of parts off everything from combines to corn pickers.
The sheriffs head and hat were fashioned out of a 30-gal. freon tank, creased in the middle to form the hat. The brim is sheet metal and the hat band #40 roller chain.
Eyes and ears are fashioned from various bearings and the nose is made from a lug off a corn picker chain. The sheriff's head attaches to his propane tank trunk with an exhaust pipe neck.
The belt is #60 roller chain from a 760 Massey combine and the buckle is a water pump impeller. Arms are exhaust pipes. Legs are pto drive lines with safety shields for knees. Feet are corn picker spirals with cultivator points for the tops of shoes.
The Winchester barrel is a hex shaft off a Massey corn head, its pump a grease gun cut in half, and its butt two arms and pulley off a combine reel. His six-gun is a gas pump nozzle.
