Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Brad , several windmillers subscribe to Farm Collectors magazine , Wayne frequently answers questions about obscure tools.
In the past there was a in depth article about the old water well drilling machines, and even several on windmills

Wayne , next time you’re in the Waco area do stop in to say hi to Michael
His hi quality collection is impressive, and with the shorter towers up close inspection is good .

Thanks for the photo
There appears to be a quantity of “Goldberg” aspects to the rig , the chassis , the pickup box , gas tank/ water tank, & spooling from a steam shovel

Michael , That will make a nice addition to your Texas windmill garden .

Thanks Paul
Now I need to start looking for an 8 cycle to go with the Aermotor pump jack I have.
Since I am getting rid of the overpriced John Deere stuff.

Well , I purchased 2 windmills at this auction
Aermotor & Flint & Walling
Both missing helmets so you can guess what the internals look like

Trying to take a shot at this one
A bit rough, maybe cheaper then

both do the same thing , pull the tail out of the wind direction .

Brandon , i have done business with Slade , would highly recomend !!!
