Re: New to site

I thought I knew when I purchased those elevators based on needing them for a job. I bought them in 2010 and Bob Bracher was still at the helm. Take a guess what they cost in 2010? Your fiberglass rod is very strong.. We had 5/8 rod on a 400 foot set that had silt problems. The first 2 times the plu...

Re: Pull over lever

Greetings from the other side of the Rockies! I was getting some measurements for someone else from out in the yard earlier today and saw this pullout.

Re: Aeromotor Windmill Restoration... Where to start?

Some background on the 612. The model 602 was built almost 10 years before the 612 was introduced in 1925. The 612 was pulled from production that same year introduced. Aermotor didnt keep any of the 612 changes and went back to producing the 602 as before for another almost 7 years. The 612 oiling ...

Re: Happy birthday Ron Stauffer!

Thanks guys! Greg texted last evening and wondered what I was up to. I told him I was baking my own cake so I got what I wanted and sent him a pic. He said I needed to share it with vintage windmillers. So here is the pic, I think that is what he meant... . attachment=0]e189de62-17c7-4e80-a7a8-1d3e4...
