I looked today and I think I have what you need, I have a set of the bearing
caps for the 16" Meadows. Both caps for the frame side and one for the
pulley side.

Denny, that would be great news indeed. Yes we are talking the
side opposite the belt pulley. It is the pillow<BR>block that
sits outside of the box in which the fixed stone is cemented. The
measurements I took are off of the<BR>bottom portion which I still have.
I certainly have time so just let me know. I will be
cutting out the new mill pieces<BR>during the next couple of weeks at a
wood shop here in Navasota. I won't reassemble the mill for a
month or<BR>so.<BR><BR>Later,<BR>Faber<BR><BR><BR>On Mar 22, 2009, at 7:54

may have what you are looking for, I have several remains of mills that
stones were robbed out of. It will take me a day or two to sort through
and find everything I have. I should have an answer for you in a
couple of days if you can wait. I was in an out building yesterday
and found the bottom half of the bearing for a 16" Meadows but no
top. we are talking about the side opposite of the belt pulley and
frame correct?<BR><BR>Denny<BR>----- Original Message ----- From: "Faber

idea! I will probably order a pillow block from McMaster

you are more concerned with cost and efficiency than historic
accuracy (in the short term0 you could replace the old bearing
with a ball bearing or bronze pillow block from Mcmaster
or ww granger or ebay...<BR><BR>google BABBITT to learn about
casting babbitt bearings in place.... lots of
how-tos.<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Gristmillers
