I needed something to grind whole corn into something that the chickens and ducks could eat. I found this vintage Corona Corn Mill at a local antique mall. I have searched the net and cannot find any info on one with gears. Just wondering if anyone on the forum had ever seen one with gears.

It's missing the tension bar that determines how fine the grind is. But that won't be hard to make. Not sure if a jar or metal hopper sat on top. But if it works, it will be worth the price I paid.

...to this. The thing works great. The gears help a lot.

I'm happy and the ducks and chickens are happy. If anyone has any information on this corn mill, please let me know. All the ones I have found on the net do not have the gears. They still make a new version of these corn mills, but they are not as heavy duty as this one. Buster
