I am restoring an old cane mill used to process sorghum. Hopefully this will summarize progress!

My son has a piece of one of these mills its the left side the side that says chatt plow ,He was wondering what a piece like this is worth ? Thank you ..Mary
Mary – I am not an expert so I don’t know. Lots of these parts depend on who has a mill that is missing that particular part. It’s a fairly limited crowd of people who are into these mills but to someone who needs that part, it might be priceless! Otherwise, probably depends on quality, location, etc. If you send me a pic, I can post on here and see if anyone knows anything else…
does anyone know where I might find some brass (bronze bearings for a Chattanooga # 12 cane mill
Me and my brother have my Great Grandpa’s mill that we still use to make cane syrup with. If anyone can tell me where I can find the bushings for the rollers I would gladly appreciate it.
Hi Robin – check out this fella…he restores cane mills and makes parts he can’t find:
Jimmy and Robin-Reliable Bronze can make any size in no-lead bronze. But first ,the roller shafts may need to be turned down on a lathe or welded up and then turned down. The machinist can make them all the same size. Then add around .003 in. for ID clearance when you order the new ones. If it is a half bushing (bearing) ask Reliable Bronze to slice them in half lengthwise .
Great info JW…thanks for posting!
