I'm trying to remove the screen on my neighbors hammer mill, its a Gehl 41, i found it under the cover but does it slide out or do you have to take all the bolts out of the rail holding it down???
 
Hi, Do not take any bolts out. When the mill was
new there was a screen hook with it to hook into
a hole and yank it out. It will slide out unless
plugged or rusted or? Make up something that will
act as a screen hook with a handle. Chuck
 
hey chuck, it kinda looks like their is a slot that it sits in, the top cover is right beside it and i'm not sure if i can pull it straight out, i'll try and let you know.
 
You will not get any better grind taking the screen out. The cracked corn you see at the feed mills is made with a completely different machine, roller mill. All you will get with the screen out is a lot of whole shelled corn, some cracked kernels and some flour fine corn dust. Good luck but I do not think you will gain much in grind quality.
 
Hi, I didn't mean that it would pull straight out
but it follows the curve and as it comes out it
will curve around the top (so to speak) Chuck
 

When you say "rail holding it down" is this rail at the top or the sides??? There is a guide rail along the sides that is shaped/curved like the screen. There may also be a stop at the top end. The stop at the top end will have to be removed. The guides on the side should let the screen be pulled out the top. The screen just curves out in a circular motion. If the screen has not been changes in years and the feed is caked/rusted in the side guides you may have to take them off to get it to move the first time. If you change it often after that you should not have to take anything apart. That first time can be a real bugger.
 
they are on the sides, i didn't see a stop at the top, it just seems to fit down in a groove and is flush with the top cover beside it.
 
after the vertical integration of hog farming was completed, a guy could buy grinders for a dime a dozen. i got an old gehl (65mx?) from a sale and the screen in it had never seen the light of day and was rusted and crusted in tight. after finally getting it out, it was scrap. not my proudest moment but to just let you know how bad they can get.
