[Syrupmakers] Labadieville mill(s) for sale

[Tracy Baudoin (tbaudoin)]

I finally made it back to the Labadieville, LA mill where the old mill
site is being torn down and sold for scrap.  The current owner (Mr
Milazzo) is asking $2k for the mill-pair.  I have taken lots of pics and
posted them at:

Look for the 25 pics under "Labadieville Mill" (Note that the pics
labeled "Making Syrup" are old ones of me and are NOT associated with
the mills for sale.)

2 - 10" X 20" sets of horizontal roller mills.

 

Note that there are several upper bearings and bull gears 'missing'.
The previous owner has them but is in dispute with the current owner.  I
believe the bull gears aren't necessary, assuming they could be powered
by a much smaller gear (the shaft could be turned down to whatever size
you like.)  The bearings could be duplicated or machined based on the
remaining one.

 

All the other equipment has been sold (including the steam pistons,
boiler, etc.  The owner is willing to help get the mill(s) on a trailer
with his equipment.  The mills can easily be split apart and used
separately if desired.  So, your only cost is for the mill(s) and your
travel.  My hope is that someone on this list will have a use for mills
of this size and quality.  Again, he plans to cut them up and sell them
for scrap if they don't sell soon!!!

 

Contact information for the mills:

If anyone does purchase them, please let me know!

Thanks,

P.S., He also has a 15' metal lathe and 50ton press for sale from an old
commercial sugar house in the area...both work, but are pretty old.
