[Syrupmakers] mill rebuild

[Andy Watkins]

I have a mill that they were replaced with a Teflon type material - might be
cheaper than brass.

Understood David,

Unfortunately, I used Babbitt for Laurel Valley's mill.  The mill I
personally use had the bushings replaced, but I didn't make them.  Dick
Gibbens made my brass replacement bushings when he was still around.  

 

I do have a mill and lathe, but don't feel that I'm up for the task just
yet, as brass blanks can be extremely expensive.  I can try forwarding your
information to an antique engine club out of Donaldsonville, LA that does
this kind of work.  What model/size mill is it?

I am looking for someone that could rebuild it, new brass bushings, to
replace the babbitt ones,
