New/old Stuffer
-
processhead I may be asking for advice on some clean up soon. The wife and I hooked up the camper and are spending a long weekend in Ohio Amish country. While we were hitting all of the local fare today I ran across an Amish estate auction. There were 2 old screw driven stuffers and I picked up one for 60 bucks. It is fully functional with all the parts except the stuffer tubes. Its a Landers, Frary and Clark 8 qt. It needs a little TLC, but I’m excited about the purchase.

GWG8541 Nice find
Just a reminder from a previous post, I have an enterprise stuffer which needs bead blasted. I will give it away to anyone willing to pick it up in Wichita -

A good alternative to sandblasting is cleaning by electrolysis. All that you need is a 12 volt automotive battery charger, plastic container and washing soda.
Best bet is to fully disassemble before-hand to get everything cleaned thoroughly.
After cleaning, re-season like you would a cast iron skillet. -

cdavis you wire the two rods to the red battery charger lead, and the black lead goes to the coat hanger that suspends your subject part in the fluid. The fluid is water, mixed with 1 tablespoon of cleaning soda (not baking soda) per gallon of water. Do not over-concentrate the solution. I run my manual battery charger at the 15 amp setting. There are many you-tube videos on the subject. I just cleaned 3 10" cast iron skillets using this method. Took 14 hours for the quickest one, and 24 hours for the worst one. Science is fun!

Electrolysis removes rust, old grease/dirt and any old lead paint that might still be stuck to surfaces that contact sausage meat.
Usually a little wire brushing in soap and hot
water will remove what little is still stuck on the surface after it comes out of the bucket. -
I love these old suffers/fruit presses. My father-in-law has one in his basement that I am hoping to get one of these days

glen If you don’t find anyone you want to give it to, Walton’s would be happy to take it, mauybe do some cleaning up and then run a Meatgistics only giveaway and we would pay for shipping? Just an option!

Jonathon Fist of all apologies to craigrice, but for convenience if Jonathan wants it I would rather just drop it off to him if he still wants it after the photosI lack both the means to restore it and no place to display it

I don’t know if the strainer basket is salvageable, it won’t come out (didn’t try to force it)
There is a lock nut and a tube in the basket
All rust appears to be surface rust but I can’t see inside because of the strainer basket
Screw and gears workJonathan are you still interested?

glen Looks like a nice Enterprise. They originally came with two plates. One large for stuffing and one smaller for use with the strainer. They will be marked as such on the top side. The second one may be under the strainer basket.

processhead don’t know if there is a second plate, the attached plate is marked SMALL

glen said in New/old Stuffer:

If you manage to get the strainer out, you might find the large plate at the bottom of the stuffer.
Mine was missing the large plate. -
I had a customer restore the stuffer his grandfather and his dad used in the old butcher shop

Departing Contestant That’s a beautiful piece of equipment. Never seen one like it. Who made it and do you know about what year?
