Country 8-QT Hit-N-Miss Freezer Parts Kit

Build Your Own Country 8-QT Ice Cream Freezer With Premium Parts

The Country 8-QT Hit & Miss Freezer Parts Kit is a complete solution for building or upgrading a vintage-style ice cream freezer with dependable performance and robust components. Whether you’re working with a classic 3/4 HP hit-n-miss engine or adapting a modern 2–2.5 HP gas or electric motor, this kit gives you everything needed to create a well-balanced, long-lasting machine that produces rich, creamy homemade ice cream.

Designed for serious DIY builders and ice cream hobbyists, this parts kit comes with a CF08 Country Freezer can and pulley, heavy-duty stainless hardware, pillow block bearings, jack shafts, pulleys, and a premium link belt — all engineered for smooth, dependable operation.

The antique 3/4 HP Maytag engines generally run at 400-500 RPM, whereas the newer 2- to 2-1/2 HP gas engines and a 3/4 HP electric motor can generate around 3400-3600 RPM.  In order to reach the desired 40-50 RPM at the freezer pulley with this kit, you will need to reduce the RPM coming off a newer motor using some type of gear reduction box down to the 400-500 RPM range to use it with this kit to avoid damage to the gears and or personal injury. (A reduction gearbox is not included.) The 1-1/2 & 3 HP Hit-n-Miss engines are too strong for this kit and should not be attempted.

The kit includes a CF08 8-qt Country Freezer with 12” composite Pulley (Choice of Oak or Poly Tub)

4 x Freezer Stainless Hold Down Brackets

1 x Overflow Hose for Freezer (No Drain)

2 x 4” SS Hinges for dump platform

1 x 5/8” SS Jack Shaft with Belt Tightener

2 x 5/8” Pillow Block Bearings

1 x 2.5” x 5/8” Bore Small Jack Shaft Pulley (Steel)

1 x Large Jack Shaft Pulley 12” x 5/8” Bore (Steel)

1 x AX63 V-Belt (Goes from engine pulley (not included) to large Jack Shaft Pulley

The kit does not include instructions, a wagon, the freezer platform, nuts and bolts, or any other hardware.

Important Safety Information
Safety is your responsibility.
