Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Does anyone have some old trade literature dempster or other makes to research this?

That mill is going to be better than when it was when brand new. Are you planning on pumping water with the mill?

Awesome coming together nicely!

If you have a bulk oil distributor in your area you can usually get any type you want in san antonio i got my last oil from dixie oil 10w non detergent in 5 gal pails also have used turbine drip oil and 32 hydraulic in years past.

Good properly prepared welds made with nickel will hold up to alot of stress.

With so much stuff being made overseas or across the river. It's so important for us to buy what we can here.

Can you post some more pictures.

Looks to be the handi work of a local blacksmith/windmiller or farmer to reinforce the tower. And looks like old wagon wheel cut with a cold chisel.

It is awesome to have a less common mill more of a reason to restore it . Or trade it in to someone on here for a more complete mill. Either way great find and thanks for sharing!

I've never seen one before in my area. Run in oil direct strokes are not common to begin with.
