David,
 
I did not find a source for parts on the Golden 
#27.  The feed gear and the discharge gear are the same part # and it was 
my discharge gear that was badly worn and 3/4's of one tooth was broken 
out.  I the broken tooth repaired and then put that gear on the feed side 
roller.  (The feed side roller has much less pressure on it compared to the 
discharge roller.)  I milled about 200 gals. of juice with it this year and 
it did just fine.  I do want to use my good gear to have a new one made 
before this coming season.  
 
I just read TJ's post and if he gets his casting 
operation going perhaps he will be able to help us.  I am also missing the 
roller gears cover.  This is the clover shaped cover for the outside of the 
three roller gears.  It is a safety cover and I sure would like to have 
that also.

Now, on to another 
subject:                          
Fire Bowl ??? Syrup Dish
 
Today there was an "Academy Sports & 
Outdoors" ad in our paper.  They are having a close-out on some of 
the winter type things and they have the "Monarch Fire Bowl" on 
sale.  I have seen these things before but today it downed 
on me that this thing looks just like a syrup dish!  I 
rushed down to the store and checked it out.  The dish gauge is fairly thin 
but I think it will hold up to making syrup.  (It is made to have a 
fire in the dish so why not under it?)  The dish will hold 5 
gals.of juice before getting onto the rim.  I see no reason why we can not 
put fire under it and use these things to make small baches of syrup!!  
They come with a stainless steel bowl (reg. $59.99 - sale - $39.99) or a copper 
bowl ( reg. $89.99 - sale - $69.99).  We would be looking at about 1/2 to 
3/4 gal. of syrup per cooking and with such a wide surface area I think the 
cooking time would be fast.  We would still have a couple of inches of 
syrup in the bottom when it's done and you can just pick the dish up off of the 
stand and set it on the ground or a table to stop the cooking process.  
(The dish does have a small flat area at the base.)  
 
I can see that these things could be used for 
testing cane mixes or cooking metheds without taking a chance on messing up a 
large amount of syrup.  Not only that, we could let the kids make their own 
syrup on syrup making day!
 
Just thought I would pass this on to the 
list.  Perhaps someone else has thought of this before and I just missed 
it.  If so, never mind as they used to 
say on Saturday Night Live.
 
PS - We have a Dutch Oven cooking club 
and we cook outdoors at our farm each month.  I bought two of this fire 
bowls.  I am going to try my hand at candy making with the copper 
one!  The stainless steel one also looks just right for boilling sweet 
corn!''  They even come with a cover screen that will keep the leaves and 
honey bees out.
 
Have fun,
