Nice looking mill Al. You probably have seen pictures and video of my 
old IH hammer mill at work
although it is a little different design from yours. Mine has the fibre 
drive pulley which is suffering
a bit from years out in the weather before I got it. I protect it now by 
cutting a hole (pulley sized)
in a plastic jug and sliding that over the pulley to keep the rain and 
sun off it. I doubt I could buy
a new pulley for a mill that is probably 70 years old.
Mine had a rusted out pipe coming off the blower and I was lucky a local 
metal worker was able to
repair it with some new steel.
I'd guess you need a very coarse screen for ear corn. I do oats using 
the coarsest screen which has
square holes about an inch across.
