Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

No luck with Eric Wattier. I left several voice mails. No calls back. Sent several texts with pictures and no reply. If anyone near Lincoln Nebraska wants this windmill for free its there's if they take it down. Aermotor 602 with a bent wheel and a thirty foot tower. If no taker's we will unbolt it ...

Thanks for the lead. I have a call into Eric. I hope he can help.

Sale is April 1 2023. Your can see the sale bill at Easter and Associates Syracuse Nebraska. Any folks on the forum going? I am going to try to make it as its pretty local to me.

Happy holidays to all.

Always nice to cross a project off the list. Nice looking mill. Have a good turkey day.

Greeg. Nice finds. I made it threw another flea market, garage sale, estate sale season without finding any windmill oil cans or any neat ideas like you found. Have a happy holiday season.

Just a quick update. Never heard back from John on servicing the windmill. If anyone knows anyone that comes around the Lincoln Nebraska area that would like to service a Aermotor on a 60 Ft tower please reach out to me. My forty foot towable lift won't make this one.
