Does anyone have an old Herbert bulk potato hopper laying around? We have one adapted to feed our anaerobic digester, which has eaten its gearbox. Spares for the gearbox or a new one are quoted at 6 weeks delivery, so we are looking for one we could buy the gearbox from.
Please PM me if you know of one - there might be a tasty finder's reward.

Shelf measures 50m
Sorry, if 50 mm then too small. We have managed to get a commitment on delivery of a new box in a more sensible time frame, so no need for one now. I spent Saturday looking at machines near Newmarket in Brown & Co's online sale, but they were build with a 2 stage chain reduction rather than a shaft mount gearbox.
