Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Does anybody have Windy Bobs email to get him onboard. He always has a tale or two!

Merry Christmas to All!

I sent an email to Tanya at the Wind Power center in Lubbock. Asking if she could let everyone on her list know about the forum. Figured she had the most complete list of all wind millers.

I never knew what a cistern was until I moved to Corsicana. Not many windmills but every house had a cistern or they had no water. They look like a hand dug well until you get up close.

My daughter sent me this photo from eastern Or. Probably from around Le Grande. It looks like a Samson Air flow to me. From the looks of the tower I bet it had a big old wooden mill on it at one time.

That's great Brad. Glad all is well.

Taking the bolts apart. I had the same experience with a Freeman I took apart. I was amazed how easy all the nuts came off. Are you going to replace the arms that are split? That might be a chore getting them out of the hub.

Hope all goes well. The ankle and the Beatty!

Surley someone out there has been doing something exciting while we have been wondering in the wilderness! Hope to have a project complete by next week to post.

Are Those the arms for a metal wheel and are those Eclipse clips?
