[Syrupmakers] miracles do happen

[Pope, Wesley]

This reminds me of a trick that my father would do, that is put the cane
mill or old flywheel engine in a barrel of water, or in the edge of the
pond, for a couple of weeks -- it appears water will penetrate where PB
Blaster won't. 
W. Pope

TC - Thanks for the suggestion, but it was Sam looking for help.  We
have gotten pretty adept at disassembly of old mills.  If I had to
guess, we have restored or "parted out" 10-20 Chattanooga mills.  I
probably should have mentioned that our first step with any mill is to
pressure wash it several times over a few days.  We have found that the
number one thing necessary to success with disassembly is patience.
Never get in a hurry or you will be looking for new parts or having them
cast.
