Here is a photo of my McCormick Feed grinder. I suspect yours is similar. Mine is a an 8 inch type B. There was also a Type A and a type D and they came in 6, 8 and 10 inch size. The B is designed to grind ear corn but will also grind shell corn or small grain. These are only for livestock feed, not to make corn meal, etc. They do not grind fine enough for that. The type A is for shell corn only or small grain. The type D has a shredder between the hopper and the grinding mechanism to allow it to grind ear corn that still has shucks on it. I've never seen one of those, but have seen several of the A and B type in addition to mine. I do have a manual as well as parts info. There were many different configurations for the feed screw that is in the bottom of the hopper and also many different grinding plate configurations. The maximum speed to run these is 1000 rpm, but they work better at about half that. Maximum HP for the 8 inch is around 10 HP. I have run mine with a 6 HP IH engine with no problem. Now I usually use my Cub, but I have a small 6 inch pulley for the Cub. Still turns it faster than I would like.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
