Food for thought.....just recently over here....Organic chicken that was for sale in a well known supermarket....pare nt company in the US...said chicken was found to contain DNA from...a cow and a pig....turned out that the suppliers who are in Holland sent this "Organic Chicken "..to Germany...for bulking....i.e. chicken injection.....like in what i just watched....then a few weeks ago..there was a full page article in a national paper....relating to ....how to feed the masses with genetically engineered food....they called it Soylent....but no mention of the ..Green.....as in the film Soylent Green.......Grace Slick & Kanter Paul spring to mind.....

Where are the bodies for dinner?
I want my food!
You could leave to dine on
your friends - pour their
bones into a cannibal soup
muscles like steak
blood like wine - save
the brains to feed to troops

Sorry I helped get off the thread...

Again, who told you it was a meat grinder?

Also, a pic from the top please.

I have a feeling it could have another application.

Never apologise....not unless your life depends on it.....

No one told me it was a meat grinder.  I made the assumption looking at it and based on what I now of other meat grinders.  I will not be able to get back to it until later, probably next weekend (28th) to make more pictures of it (sorry).   What else might you think it is?

[mart]

Considering how its made I think it is a meat grinder !! May have different blades and fittings for making/stuffing sausages ect !!

Maybe KC's concern is similar to mine.

If it was simply for grinding hamburger ........ there is no reason for it having that 4" to 4 1/2" drive belt for powering the grinder.

A 3/4" to 1" V-belt drive would surely suffice.

[KC]

When you get back to take a look, look for ANY markings, etc on it please.

I just have never seen one that required that big of belting like cogar said.  (Not to say that I have seen everything!)

Also, look at the exit flume.  Does it have a grate/strainer over it at the main compartment or look as if it has had one?

The V-belt is a relative modern innovation, dating back to WWI era.

Ah so, ..... that puts a date on the grinder. Like pre-1920.
