If anyone has some experience with these old behemoths, I'd love to get some tips! Electrical, breakdown, proper oil/lube, etc.
Thanks!

I am also looking for information regarding this type of grinder. Any information on how to properly lubricate and what to use would be greatly appreciated. It seems to have two spring-loaded fittings on the top and a half inch brass plug. Thank you in advancergreenberg2000 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 03:41A couple of years back, I stumbled across someone in my neighborhood who was looking to make room in his garage by getting rid of a vintage #22 Hobart grinder. The price was right (really cheap), and the grinder worked, so I relieved the kind gentleman of his burden. My plan was to spruce it up a bit, and put it into service. I got through a bit of the disassembly, and then life got in the way, and the project got shelved. Unfortunately, I mislaid some of my pictures and notes that related to the way it was wired up, and I'm now a bit stuck on how to get it rewired. It has four wires that used to be connected to a power cord. I believe that it can be wired for 110v or 220v depending on how you link the wires together. Since I'm electrically ignorant, I thought this group might be a place where I could uncover someone who has tinkered with these things before and might be able to give me some direction..... There's a bit of nostalgia attached to this beast, as it is the exact same model of Hobart grinder that my grandfather used in his butcher shop. Since I'm stuck at home these days, I thought maybe it would make a good winter project to get it going again.......
