Am trying to locate someone in Australia who sells # 56 grinder plates and knives. I have re aquired my fathers butcher mincer after disappearing from grandfathers farm after he passed away 18 years ago. There are only 2 plates left, a 4.8 mm and a 16mm one. Thought it was a #42 but after some research im not 100% sure now, I think it is a #56. It takes hubbed enterprise style plates 130mm in diameter, 16 mm thick with a 19mm centre hub.
Any help would be appreciated

Your best bet would be to email Hall Food Equipment in Sydney. email them for a quick response. infohallfood.com.au
They have been in business since the 1940's and should be able to help you or advise you where to get them. A good company from what I hear,
Good Luck,

Thanks Crusty. Will give them a try. Was looking at barncosales, they are an agent for Speco in Australia.This thing is rather large and rather old. Two of us struggled to move it as it has a 5 1/2 hp motor powering it. The only markings on it is MBL

Thanks Pete.
Found another place in Coburg as well. I had better start ringing around. Need a 10 mm or 12 mm plate and a couple of knives. One of my Uncles has sharpened the plate side of one of the knives and buggered it. Dad reckons there used to be heaps of grinding plates with it but they have disappeared
