[Syrupmakers] mill rebuild

[Richard Harrison]

We are using factory off-the-shelf PVC fittings on a motorized mule mill. Cheap bearings--even if you have to replace them more often. Didn't take a machine shop, so, no machine shop bill!

Subject: Re: [Syrupmakers] mill rebuild  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?
