Sorghum Mill Repair
I have a friend who is trying to repair an old sorghum mill. The
major problem with this machine is the condition of the bearings. This machine has three rollers that crush the cane. Two are adjustable and a half bearing shell is used to adjust pressure. One remaining half bearing shell fragment appears to be made from bronze. It looks like someone has tried to repair these bearings in the past by pouring a lead or babbitt bearing. The poured bearing quickly failed under load. Has anyone had experience repairing these mills? And is there any information available on the bearings used with these machines? Any leads will be appreciated John Normile |
