Chris, I admire your home made doin yourself. I mean no disrespect, but I couldn't understand many of your words. That being said, my husband was from Gulfport Mississippi. When I met my in-laws... :0. She was teaching me his favorite dishes. "Steak and Gravy". I didn't understand what "sufferin flour" was. Young, I went pale in the face. Looked at him and said "why is the flour suffering?" He restrained from falling out on the floor. Translated into "self rising" flour. 1987 till now, I've been making an effort to understand folks have different accents. God bless your for it sir. And, thanks for the lesson on the corn grinder. Your lucky, lucky chickens. I know they were in there cooing away. "Daddy's making kibble". Hugs, :)

We've been using this mill everyday for the last two years and haven't had any problems with it. The wife grinds about a 5 gallon bucket of feed everyday, sometimes twice a day. Been a good grinder. Looking for an old hand crank burr mill for when the power goes out and can't run the generator.

Most of the I've seen fail was because of run time , they can fly apart if you do 500 lbs at one go . Just gets too hot . You could make this one hand crank just need a shaft with a key slot and a bearing block . I've already converted one to belt drive

Just keep it greased and don't run it to long at the time and it'll hold up pretty good. You need to break it in before you try to grind too fine if you hit the plates together you'll have to replace them ( they're cheap if you mess up ) .

A few on freezing, not sure about drying corn . It just dries on the stalk same as peas and beans it'll droop when it good and dry, now if you mean sweet corn for seed just pull it when it's brown shuck it back and hang it in the barn where the mice can't get it . When it'll shell easy shell it ,bag it and put it in the freezer.

The plates have two sides one way for wet the other for dry I think but if they don't match it won't grind fine enough. If you hit the plates together it's ruined instantly replacements are 25.00 ish . It would be better if they came with some instructions take the plates out you'll see what I'm talking about .
