I havent used my meat grinder for a few years,and being things were slow and the shop rite store near us had pork shoulders on sale for 88 cents a pound I got the machine out and made sausage. I made a breakfast sausage, salt , pepper, and brown sugar, For 6 pounds of meat I put 3 teaspoons salt , 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper and 11/2 teaspoons sugar, It seemed to taste preety good. This weekend maybe Iwill make some Italian sausage

I have my late grandfather's/namesake's Hobart #22 here. He used to sell meat right off the farm back in the 50-60's before regulation got out of hand.

I get it out a few times a year, but it is too heavy unless you have serious grinding to do. I just made 50# of bologna with it.(deer I killed with a flintlock and some pork shoulders). Good eats, I doubt it will last till spring.

Larry - is that a Hobart grinder?

I've got a big old Hobart grinder that resembles yours, or it might be like Mr. Martin has. I keep it out in our old smokehouse, and one year I turned it on without looking it over good. The brush area of the motor had a big mud dauber nest in it, and it wiped out the whole brush assembly. I checked with Hobart for parts, and when I gave the parts guy the serial number, he laughed so hard he could hardly talk. He said it was made in the 40's, and parts no longer available.

My old neighbor worked as a machinist and had everything I needed to repair it. Now I keep duct tape over the vent holes until I use it again.

GOOD grinder, but needs wheels on it - too heavy for one man to handle safely.

I like that grinder. I have a Butcher Boy 3 HP with a 32 head and the top tray holds 50 lb of meat. We use it every year during Deer Season. This Sat we are having a sausage making party for my scout troop. Oh we find things to do in the winter.

Sugar in sausage!!!! I never heard of such a thing, you need salt, black pepper, red pepper,(ground or flakes) and sage in sausage, not sugar, UURRKK!!! you must be a yankee!!

You can buy premixed sausage spices at the market. They work well.

Nice grinder - looks like an old commercial unit? We share a meat grinder my dad bought back in the 1970s. Monkey Wards - all stainless steel with a 3/4 hp electric motor. Thing got the living crap run out of it when I was growing up (we butchered 3-4 hogs and 2-3 cows every year). Dad would yell at us kids that the first person that over heated the motor or forgot to oil the main drive would get to use the hand grinder. Now it mainly grinds up deer meat.
