I just recently purchased an old grinder that I think is a hammer mill. The person I got it from said it was a David Bradley. It's got a 24" diameter area where the grinding is done and it is driven by a belt pulley. My question is I think it is missing the hammers but I don't know enough about this to tell. I do know, that there is about 2 inches of clearance between the arms and the screens. I have pictures if anyone thinks they can help.
Thanks

Dave H. these old mills had several hammers in them they were about 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick and there were several of them. If you can get the mill to turn you can hear the hammers rattle in the machine. They were a good mill for their time.

IF it is a D-B, I have a parts book floating around here for one, don't remember what model, if you are interested. Grandpa wore out that mill many moons ago grinding cow and hog feed, but the literature still lives.

Tim:
Yes I would be interested in seeing what literature you might have for my mill. I remember the mills from when I was a kid and I to remember when you rolled them over by hand the hammers made a clinking sound. This one doesn't and is why I think there's pieces missing. I posted a picture in the implement gallery under D-B Hammer Mill, in case you can help.
Thanks
Dave

Well, what you have there, I don't know. It is not a model 801.1080 or an 801.1090, which are the machines that my book covers.

Well thanks anyway Tim. I was hoping you might be able to help me. Did the models you had blow both the grain and chaff out the top like this one? I hadn't seen one like the one I have is why I don't know too much about it. The rotor is four perpendicular arms with an "I" shape to them. There's no bolt holes so I don't think anything bolts to them.
If you find anyone who has one similar, pass this along to them.
Thanks
Dave

Dave, I've been looking at the picture. I don't think that is a hammermill for grinding grain. The hopper should feed somewhere near the top of the rotor, so the grain or corn goes between the hammers and the screen. This one feeds near the bottom, and transversely, like a silo blower. Looks like a roughage mill (aka fodder chopper) for pulverizing stemmy hay and cornstalks for feed. I have never seen a roughage mill with a bagger on it before. Most were set up to blow up a pipe into the haymow or into a pile.

I know what you mean about a silage blower. We used to use one a lot bigger than this to chop corn silage and blow up into the silo we had. There was this big plate with knives on it that cut it before it blew it out, like a Ronko Veggie slicers. The only thing that is messing me up is that there is a screen at the top exit of the chop chamber behind the green plate and the rotor is 4 arms. Anything that goes out has to fit through the screen. With the 2 inch gap between the screen and the rotor I can see this thing getting plugged up often like it is. That's why I think there is something missing, like some sort of hammer/scrapers.
