that tail sure made a great target , plenty of "patina"

Did anyone look at the wooden connecting rod ? it also appears origional to the mill as with the oil resivor packing , silver paint , tail pin hole not worn , gears not worn , Thomas in San Marcos TX found a real beauty in Ill. for 100 years old !

I dont see any Kentucky blue grass ?

YAH Paul , the windmill farm keeps growing and getting larger , more diversified . The tarmat at the airport will be busy with projects .
