This is a real nice old Challenge #6 belt driven corn or feed grinder or grist mill. It is in excellent older restored condition and still displays rather nicely. There are no cracks, breaks, or repairs on it that I can see or know of. It was made by the Challenge Company in Batavia, Illinois, the same company that made the famous windmills, and measures about 34 inches tall. Everything seems to work as it should and it has a new belt on it for the shaker pan. You can used the adjustment knobs to set how coarse of find you’d like to grind your corn. It has very ornate cast iron legs and also the curved spoke flywheel and is very appealing to the eye! There is very little wear in the bearings and I believe it’s ready to go to work. The hopper was fabricated when the mill was restored and a nice job was done on it! It would be a fine addition to your early machinery collection or display and would look great running it with a gas engine at the shows! The pictures tell the story. It’s tough to find them this nice as they’re usually all worn out. I can deliver this to Coolspring, PA, Baraboo, WI, Portland, IN, or some other shows or auctions I attend later this year for free. Unique old grinders like this don’t turn up very often so don’t miss it.
