Chef yeah I bought the food tube to go on mine. Also got a foot pedal. Will look at enclosing the pulleys in the future. Id like to have a butcher model, but this should get me through for some time. I did pick up a sausage mixer for a good price.
pr0wlunwoof did you ever think of an old singer sewing machine to run it ,they have been made into many things the old foot treddle version

craigrice thats an idea, but finding one in decent shape would be harder than building from scratch. I do have a stainless countertop I could make a cart out of, but then its gonna take up floor space which is becoming scarce.

Jonathon Is a pulley available for your #32 Deluxe Hand Grinder? If you don’t carry it, is there a source for one that would fit that you may know about. If not either, could you take dimensions and maybe a picture of the auger driver. I want a backup manual grinder if I lose power and the option of a second grinder with a motor is an attractive option. Thanks
Chef I have one on mine. I keep thinking I got it from Northern, but don’t mark my word as I have had it a long time. That is my beast.

Jonathon Okay, now I know better. I had never seen a #32 manual grinder. I was very fortunate to find one a woman had that her parents bought in the 50’s an old Porkert grinder, for $25. It had never been used. NOS I had no idea that I could fit my fist into the grinder. Way bigger than I would have ever guess. This will make a spare just in case.
Chef They don’t make them like that any more, probably not even the German made versions. Yes, they will add a finger or two for some great tasting chili (that is another story that just came to mind, but for another time) if you are not careful.

Chef I keep thinking I may have seen them at Tractor Supply too, in the past. If you cannot find one made exactly for this, I can give you the exact dimensions on mine & you could just look for a pulley of the proper size & then take your drill press & bore & tap a whole in it for the handle if you want to keep that option, while not removing the pulley.

The reason I don’t use a manual meat grinder anymore.

.Imma cook that bad boy fast and hard… so I can keep it nice and plump. No smoke so I don’t ruin things by having a tan on that side

Dr_Pain they said the sausage was a little fleshy lol

About 15 years ago I looked at motorizing an old #32 Enterprise hand grinder. When I got ready to measure the crank shaft diameter on the auger, I fount it was not a straight shaft but had a mild taper to it. That complicated finding a matching pully that would work with it and the project got shelved.

Rub some dirt on it sonny and get back to work.

Dr_Pain Great Chili, Folks will come from miles around!
