Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Let's see it from a different angle..90°

Mike, was born in Minnesota and spent 8 years in western Wisconsin. Joined Army in 72 and then wanted to return to the north woods. Guess this is where I was meant to be.
Windy, Christmas is 100 miles but have been through there. All the same up here in winter.. SNOW!!!

Thanks Mike, that white stuff seems to come every year and doesn't want to leave. I was stationed at Ft. Hood 72-75 so I know was the winters are like down there. Bill

Finished my 612 today with the help of my 2 son's. 602 and 612 both spinning.

Tower is up and cemented in. Started a little landscaping and will fill center in with paver bricks as on my first mill.

Set my tower today. Will pour concrete tomorrow and set fan in a couple weeks when my 2 son are home to visit.

I have original loop steps for sale ... 7 each of 16" center to center
15 each of 15" center to center. Both left and right. 10$ each plus shipping. Bill

Will be putting up my second mill next week. 1925 A612. This mill was apart and in a building since the 1960's. 99%complete
Still has the part numbers stenciled on the pieces. Also owners name ( I think) from Clayton Wisconsin.

Joe, after further review of your pics the rear end appears to me to be off a tractor. The rod for engaging the brake shoes is on the front external part of housing. So brake pedal would turn shaft to engage brake. That's how ford 8n and 9n tractors are. But no pto shaft out back as on most tractors ...
