This is a Letz Mill. It's all rusty and froze up. I do have the hopper for it. The bottom of the hopper is rusted a little bit but might be useable.

Found it at a junk yard. Couldn't quite pay the junk price though :-)

In the picture below there was a break running through the cover for the plates.
Someone did a good job of welding it up.

Below shows it in the garage while I'm working on it.

Not one part moved on it. After alot of heating and beating it's coming along.

I got the main shaft rotating and the plate covers removed. I thought I would remove the old u-joint that someone welded to the main shaft. I torched the u-joint off leaving a sleeve over the shaft.

I then torched the sleeve using the keyway on the main shaft to blow the crap into.

Here you can see where I hacksawed the sleeve down to the original shaft all the way around. This took a lot of time and I was careful not to cut into the main shaft. I used a grinder to remove the material between the hacksaw cut and the right edge of the weld.

Split the sleeve apart a little and off it comes. I wanted this little extra bit of shaft so I could mount a flat belt pulley back on the mill.

Here's the slag and other bits after removal.
