Goold Shapley & Muir Power Mill

Do you have those also? I always blame my imaginary helper for misplacing them. Mine seem to show up if I go buy another.

Now you have a pair of winter projects. Its nice to have folks looking out for us and find a home for a piece of history so its not lost in the scrap bin.

[Peter vk]

hedgerow, yes I have these 2 Ideals, 7 Australian mills, 2 Beatty's, Paul's (windfab) 16 foot New Ideal power mill and Steel King to work on this winter. I have more time now that we are out of the dairy business.

I repaired the bearings and sleeves for the two power mills, the brass bearings are for the 1897 model and the roller bearings are for the 1899 model. I was able to date them with the parts lists I have. Getting close to putting them back together.

When you like any old iron you can't get need and want confused. I always tell my friend when we go to Canton First Monday. They probably don't have anything I need but a lot of stuff I want!
