Cool Pictures For Beatty Guys

[Joshschneids]

Really great pics, thanks for posting. Are they common up there? I really liked the Massey one, at one time we were covered up with Massey Supper 27 Combines here in Kansas.

The Beatty Mills are very common in Ontario especially because the plant was located in central Ontario. The Massey one's however i am pretty sure that everyone is in aw that know's the Beatty Mill's and has never seen them before. I dug this up in some Archives i found on the internet

Paul, have you ever seen any of these photograph's before or knew about the Massey Rebrand?

Those are cool pictures for anyone that likes windmills! If you put Massey Harris on one side you could start a conversation with any big Massey collectors up your way. Most may not know about there connection to windmills.

Lincoln Nebr. In my Gas Engine book it says after the 30's they moved into the motor scooter and light utility field.

Sort of, its a complicated mess, Easy Mfg, who bought out Yale and Hopewell made the old mills and then a metal one called Easy, then Cushman engine company bought them out and continued the Easy mill for a while. I have never seen an Easy around my parts but a few years ago a guy from New York State of all places emailed me pictures of a "Cushman" windmill that was really the Easy windmill with Cushman logo. He had to get it gone right then, I knew nobody who could put it on a pallet and he was an older guy and didn't either so I passed. Unfortunately, I didn't have the pics backed up when my computer crashed a week later so I lost them. I can only assume there are other both Cushman and cushman made Easy windmills out there since it was only in the 20s and 30s? If someone has a pic of any Cushman lableled mills, I would love to have them for my collection.

8' Easy Steel. Made by Cushman Co. Very few of the original Easy Mills are in existence. See more old mills at link below:

Yea, the one I had the chance at was just like that only branded Cushman. I have never even heard of another? I remember the one from Lubbock. Thanks
