Re: Christmas in the U.P.

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!!!

Re: Christmas in the U.P.

Getting ready to put up my second mill

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.

Re: power mill

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...
