I know the three legged tower is aermoter design.the four legged tower on the outside of the aermoter three tower was a bilby design tower built by aermoter.so i just always nicknamed them bilby. Sorry i upset you.

There's a guy pat hunt from second wind windmill who lives in Findlay Ohio.i don't know if he still does it but if not he probably knows someone who does.good luck she's a beauty and i think that is a bilby

Like Ivan explained to me about my bell hub on a original 1888 frame.aermoter used old inventory up instead of throwing it out.The aermoter guru Ivan.

Ed when i did some research i found out aermoter opened up two branch houses here in N.Y. in the early 1890s.

Ed I've been fortunate here in N.Y. i have a model 97 bell i restored 4 yrs ago and then my recent find with early frame and parts.Now there's one less than a mile away on a tower from my last find I'm going to look at and try to buy.

Very nice job. I had a model 99 -14ft aermotor power mill that was a barn find in gr8 condition.it came with a foot gear and slip clutch and shaft from mill down to slip clutch.what a beautiful mill. Sorry i let that one go.but it's in a good home now.

Make sure you put a good concrete sealer on the football if you decide not to paint it
