bc.gold 3,403 #1 Posted September 12, 2019 Anyone know this type of grinder and its intended use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,045 #2 Posted September 12, 2019 That's a meat grinder. There should be a crank handle on it. My wife's got a complete one and does use it for like bologna, ham or whatever spread. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcrage 627 #4 Posted September 12, 2019 Yes. Left over roast or chicken would get ground with pickles and mayo and whatever to make sandwich spread when I was a kid. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,877 #5 Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) I have my grandma's as well as a newer stainless steel one I found at a yard sale cheap. We always made bologna salad with it as a kid. We always took some camping. It will grind anything you put in it though! Different plates for different sizes that come out.

Stormin 9,981 #7 Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Over here we call them a food mincer. My parents used to put all the scraps plus hen corn through one then fed it to the hens. Edited September 12, 2019 by Stormin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,022 #8 Posted September 12, 2019 Soft Food grinder missing the auger, handle, and end nut. With those large openings, it would not be able to grind raw meat. Most meat grinders have cutting plates with several different size holes. My deer grinder. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marv 919 #9 Posted September 12, 2019 I have two of them. We use them for all the above plus grinding things like celery, green peppers etc. Marv 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think It's the pulley from an old treadle sewing machine that makes the grinder appear older than it is. Ed is that a repulsion induction motor your using.

stevasaurus 22,710 #14 Posted September 13, 2019 I think you are correct...looks like my Mom's old Singer belt wheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed is that a repulsion induction motor your using. Yep, sewing machine pulley it is. But I didn't steal it from Grandma's machine. I did have to make a Double D adapter to match the grinder. The motor, I'm no electrical engineer. I can tell you it is one heavy 1/4 HP motor weighing in at 40 lb. I just noticed the (7-31-22) under the 4261. Is that a mfg or patent date? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc.gold 3,403 #16 Posted September 13, 2019 Electric motors that are marked AC/DC are classified as universal motors, if your AC motor has brushes on a commutator they only make contact during start then retract away from the commutator when at operating speed. Repulsion Induction motors have a tremendous amount of start up torque, these motors are generally much larger than what were accustomed to seeing. The Repulsion Induction motor does not use capacitors, also sought after by collectors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,643 #17 Posted September 15, 2019 I may have one of those motors. It's a huge 1/4 HP on an old 30 gal. Champion Compressor. It came from at an old country Esso service station. that had one 10 gallon glass hand pump.and one hand crank kerosine pump. We didn't get electric lines until 1940. My guess is that the compressor was old when Installed at the service station. I rebuilt the little compressor in the 60"s it would still be working but the tank rusted out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one I have belonged to my mother in-law. We had a mule and cart for transportation when I was a young boy. Nostalgia I guess. Marv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that is a manufacture date since Westinghouse type AR motors started in the 1920s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,022 #20 Posted September 15, 2019 I guess I'll keep using it for three more years. Then retire it on it's 100th birthday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will honor it by keeping in use way past that. It will outlive all of us bar anything catastrophic happening to it. That motor is the actual definition of the phase" they don't make them like that anymore". That one actually has all the patent dates associated within on the tag. I cant read the ones on the right but if I am correct they should not go past 1922. They usually stopped posting patent dates 11 years after patent was granted. That would make that one one of the early examples of that type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,022 #22 Posted September 16, 2019 OK, as long as I can, I'll keep grinding venison burger with it. The patent numbers are: 12-10-12 08-17-15 11-02-15 05-22-17 04-30-18 11-12-18 04-15-19 12-31-19 08-30-21 12-13-21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,987 #23 Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) That confirms it. By the way, your motor is a Repulsion-Induction motor.That is what ARS means. It has lots of starting torque and low starting current. It is a much sought after motor by collectors. Edited September 16, 2019 by formariz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of my farm neighbors gave me a large repulsion induction motor, will have to wait until the field dries up before we can get to the sheds. I'm hoping for a 5 horse power to use on my Quincey compressor. Until i can post pictures, enjoy this video - wished it were mine.
