Junk or?
Jumped in with both feet to a bucket list project. Bought these mills and now trying to figure out what I have. The one is 502 or 602 I believe? The second one I have no idea. Is the book everyone referring to, the one at the windmill museum? Thank You in advance for sharing your knowledge!

Top one is a Aermotor 602. Bottom one is a Dempster.

Re: Junk or?
The book is "A Field Guide to American Windmills" By T. Linsay Baker. It is not a repair manual, but an excellent book for identifying many american windmill brands. There is, however Explanations on how they are made, so there are good general descriptions of the models covered. Plus, it has the complete history of how they came about.
If you can find a book, it will be expensive. I got mine many years ago, it was around a hundred bucks. Not anymore, I'm afraid.

Wundy the first time I looked at the book it was $90 and I said man I've never paid $90 for a book. So I waited until it went to $100 and bought one.

FYI,
The book can be bought from "The Windmillers' Gazette" book store for $95.00, and that includes postage.
