Borrowed a friends meat grinder to process venison.  It did not sound perfect when I cranked it up but worked.  Toward the end of my processing the thing went south in the bearing/bushing in the drive end must have gave out.  I want to replace it but have yet to find one that has a straight 1/2 inch shaft on the end for the pulley to fit on.  Anyone been there/done that and found a source for one with a straight shaft as opposed to the normal ones that have the tapers on the shaft that the crank normally mounts?  thanks

Dave H, sorry you’re having difficulty. Should be a more pleasant experience - right? Please provide more info. What’s the brand, model of the meat grinder in question?

X2 on make/model, plus pictures would help. You may be able to find a replacement bearing/bushing at a bearings and drives supply. Hobart parts are still available for older models but Hobart = expensive. Is this grinder factory or a modified unit? Best of luck on finding what you need.

could be a manual grinders that had a handle... so the shaft might have been taken out and turned down to 1/2 inch  on the lathe to accept a pulley......... better option is a new grinder with combined motor.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Only markings on this grinder ia a big number 10 on the side and Made In China - aaarg

And Steve you are probably right on the crank end being turned down to 1/2 inch.  The only machine shop that would mess with that around here has gone belly up a long time ago.  I am going to start sniffing around  foer someone who has a lathe for hobby stuff.

i took one of those cheap China corn grinders and turned the shaft down for a pulley.. Worked for a few hours, then broke as you noted... Not really made to do that. Hand cranking is different than putting a side load on with a motor.

The saga is over.  Talked to the owner and he recalled that it was well used when he bought it 40 yeays ago.  So the grinder is going to the scrap pile today and the thing is a back burner project for who knows when.  Happy Holidays folks!
