That is a thirtys- forty gm rear end..should be able to find something at a local scrap yard

Is that a actual car or truck rear end? If so post some more pics of the housing area. I know an automotive guy who will be able to identify it. Bill

Thanks

Found this while cleaning up my next project. Month and year but what are letters for? Thanks for any information. Bill

Happy birthday Ivan, thanks for your help and will see you soon! Bill

Dan, no I am going to shorten it. Not sure how it will work out. Leg parts are about 14' long and there is 3 sections. Hope I can just use the top 2 sections but will have to see how it works out. I do have a few more pieces of tower legs from my first purchase.

Made a wooden pattern with the curve of a straight sail. Worked great. Also straightened some of the v-rods. Wish it wasn't so late on year, would like to get it up. Could have snow and cold here in a month.

Got it straightened enough for the girls I go with. Next is one bent sail Going to trace curve on block of hardwood and hammer straight. Thanks for advice. Found out the 612 was only made for one month in 1925. Had oil leak issues and was discontinued. Ivan said to only put 1 qt. Of oil in it. He ha...

Here is one of the repairs needed. Can this be bent back cold or should it be heated up? Also a few bent girts. Sould they be heated or not? Thanks for any advise with this. Bill

I don't have any info on a 612 in my paperwork. Hope someone can give me some information on a 612. When I unloaded it I thought it was a 602 but A612 is cast in the housing. It doesn't have a pipe plug on the nose either.
