[Syrupmakers] Restoring a Chattanooga no. 13 mill

[Leo Beatty]

I have a Chat improved 13. The lower cup holders have a small hole for juice to drain.  Invariably the holes will clog from debris and juice will get in the bearing cup. Therefore, I use mineral oil, or you can get food grade oil from a restaurant, it's also mineral oil.  In the upper bearing I fold a wash cloth and pack it on the opposite side of the bearing and using an oil can I soak the cloth with mineral oil.  Mineral oil will get in the juice but through filtering and skimming it is removed.

I hope this helps.
