    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,
