Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

These are sections from an open gear 20’ but I’ll contact him. They will bolt up to mine but the design is a hair different

Bad ass thank you I’ll contact them.

Thanks guys and yes I was really happy about it.

TOWER UPDATE... there has been some debate if my tower was original to my windmill. I can confidently say that it is! The twisted wire used on other ideal stover towers wasn’t used on the 20’ mill towers instead a solid sucker rod was used. The person I visited had 1 special spread tower for his 20’ ...

More pictures of the pull out device. This and the swivel assembly makes this windmill 100% complete. Now I just need to put it all together.

Also I found this jewel in the bone yard! I have been looking for the factory pull out device since I bought the windmill. Now I have my own and on top of it. It’s in great shape! It also came with a 8”x8” chunk of wood from a 20’ Samson Open gear wooden tower.

I had a wonderful time visiting a new friend this weekend. And I also picked up a lot of new goodies for my Samson! The complete factory pulled and pump rod assembly! All 17 feet of it.

Hello all,

Through the grape vine I found the windmill that was ordered with mine and spent till 2012 next to mine. It was really cool to see this windmill up and running.

I wake up and put my steel toe boots on and I don’t take them off till I’m ready for shower/bed. I’m alway in my steel toes. so I’m protected from that

I like using my forklift. A crane mine be a little easier but I’m able to move in either direction pretty easy.
