Mike, yes they made their own foot gears and also made lots of different pumps. GSM and Toronto aren't too common around here, mostly Beattys around here.

Hand on someone has the answer. I think about everyone that was a big time builder of windmills had a power mill in their catalog.

I was there at the trade fair in 2017, I don't remember seeing that footgear anywhere.

A little more progress with one of the power mills, it's almost ready to put the wheel on. I got about 2 inches of clearance to get it out the door ;)

Nice! I am sure you did the wood work also. I assume it's going in the 2 story part of the barn but inside or outside?

So was the 99 power mill a pull in same as the pumper? That would be one rare windmill. Is it's home in a museum somewhere? I hope so as I would like to see it

Ron, yes I made the wood display stand. They are both going in the high part of the barn. I would like to have one outside but I better not, don't want it to be destroyed after all that work to get them going again.
The gear ratio on these is 1 to 6.
