Always nice to cross a project off the list. Nice looking mill. Have a good turkey day.

For those who don't know, if you notice the slant on the wheel, that is how they were made. 1 inch in 16 was the angle. If you see a W series Monitor with a perfectly vertical wheel, the front bearing is shot. Then the wheel starts clipping the tower and self-destructing.

Yep Bob your right I remember reading about that tilted wheel there were a few reasons why they did that but the one that stuck in my head was the Wind actually blows at an angle from the Earth's Surface.
