Dempster #14
Re: Dempster #14
Would be a bargain if most of it's there!
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.
Re: Dempster #14
What do you want pictures of.
At $60.00 even with parts missing it would be a bargain.
The 14 is a vainless direct stroke, wood wheel, oil bath mill not many with all of that going on.

$60 CAD is only $46 USD. Still a bargain.

Re: Dempster #14
There is nothing but the head that is still attached to a the tower that is totally twisted up.
Looks like they used a bull dozer to pile it up on a pile of other scrap materials. Will have to take along a
sawsall to cut the legs.
So if I saw what a complete wheel looks like from the front can then determine what I would have to make in the way of wheel arms, rim plates, rods etc.
Going to phone the owner Sunday to see if they still have it.
I will take my camera along for pictures.

Hope you get it. As long as you have a stub tower and the hardware is workable, you'll have a nice project.

Got a hold of the owner`s wife. Told her I would take it .Looks like the site is not accessible as
the crop had not been harvested and there is no road ,so have to cross over stubble field.
She said they will let me know if its going to be available. Never sure about some people.

Re: Dempster #14
Managed to get the head and top 5 feet of tower home before the snow arrived.
As you can see it is in very good condition other than the wheel spokes. They can be straightened.
Also it is missing all the fan hinges ,wheel braces, balance weight bar and 1 arm casting.
I took the head apart and everything shows little wear. The hood has one small bullet hole
so that kept the inside dry. A couple of mice had found their way inside but not out.
Can not believe how heavy this beast was. The farmer was good enough to come to my aid
with his tractor and front end loader.
