Well I got the A702 rebuilt and up. Put the tower up first then lifted the mill up with a tele handler today. She runs nice after the rebuild. Thanks for all the help. I'm looking for another now. Paul

Thanks WindCatcherDan, here's a better picture of the tractor (Unstyled A) with the homemade tin man, just before I put the head on the windmill. Makes a nice display. Many people have stopped on the road to take pictures of it. I have 30 acres of timber in the Loess Hills of western Iowa right along the National Scenic Byway roadway.

Im not sure, it was a complete unit when I bought it years ago. I finally got it home last fall and rebuilt it this summer. after joining this site I realized the tower wasn't an Aeromotor like the head.

mtbiah, I have restored worse than this but this one gets a pass. It's always going to be a road display. it's been there so long many people would miss it if I restored it.
