My friend has an old seperater she just bought its a McCormick Deering {hope thats spelled right} its a floor model, she would like to know what kind of oil she should use and also if someone has any idea how much it will take. Also will rabbits breed more succsesfully if they have 14 hrs of daylight? This is a wonderful forum. THANK YOU... Doris in Idaho

Mine is not the same brand but it uses a lightweight gear oil. Gearoil can be purchased in different weights and I bought it at the hardware store

Speaking of cream seperators - Has anyone had any experience with the Plava II Cream Seperator? I want to buy a manual seperator and this is the only reasonably priced one I can find. Unfortunately one person told me that they could rarely get it adjusted correctly to keep it from spilling milk. She said when it worked it worked great, but adjusting a certain screw to keep it from spilling was always a terrific problem. I have seen this Plava II advertised in Countryside and in the goat catalogs. All other seperators I have seen are either electric or too expensive. Any one have any comments?

Here are two websites that deal with separators. http://www.binderbooks.com/index.html http://www.sepinc.com/antique_separator_bb/antique_toc.html The later is a bulletin board. Happy Holidays all!
