Also, if it's an Aermotor, any cast iron part will have a letter and number. Like A 602 or something. The letter is the size of the mill, the number is that part's number.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

I don't remember that number on the steps, but then again, I never looked. Seems I'm always too busy trying to navigate them on the way up. lol

Probably was an old Monitor open gear on the tower and they bought them an Aermotor oilbath with stub. As we know happened many times, upgrade the mill keep the tower.

I got some more pictures, which are attached. To further cloud the step discussion, the steps are two different styles. The first pics I sent which you guys have identified as Monitor, are only on the bottom section. All the steps above that are a different style, as shown. I also sent some pics of the pump and another one of what is left on top.
