We have a Daimant grain mill that fell down stairs! Survived, but shaft is broken. Anywhere to find a replacement?

That is a serious grain mill.   It says it weighs 56 pounds.

If you can't find an exact in-kind replacement, a local machine shop may be able to fab one from stock shaft material. You may need to bring them the broken one and any specs you can find for it.

I would probably start by checking with the manufacturer, for replacement parts. Next, I'd look for used parts, then, I would do as Timothy recommends.
