I can post pictures of my 5 hp hammer mill, I also have a 7.5 hp construction is similar on both with the exception of the screen. The smaller mill uses a circular screen and the larger mill uses a partial located at the bottom.

If you live near faming country check out some of the hog farmers, I picked these up for a couple hundred a peice complete with motors. Too bad shipping would be a killer I have no need for either mill. I'm no longer refining e-scrap.

Inside theres a flail attached to the shaft it has 3 sets of hammers which look like 1/4" x 1.5" x 6" flatbar holes drilled both ends so when it wears on one side you can swap it end for end and get a fresh side on the hammer.

There is only two pillow block bearings.
