Dempster 2" style B windmill tower

Post by bluezx6r »

Hello everyone. Im working on acquiring missing parts for my dempster tower. Im in need of 39 eccentric washers for securing and taking slack out of the cross braces, as shown in the attached picture. Im sure i can get some fabricated but if anyone has some origionals please let me know what youd want for them. Im also looking for an origional dempster pullout. Thanks and I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

fyi, the eccentrics are usually on only one end of the twisted wire brace. I have a bunch, but I think they are mostly Stovers. A bit of a different measurement. On a tower needing approx 40, that would be like a 60 ft tower.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

I can make up the rest of them. Here's a little more info for folks. Dempster on the right, Stover on the left. The circle is what I measured.

It seems that the Dempsters were galvanized while the Stovers are unpainted
