This windmill is at the LBJ State Park living history farm. The people selling Aermotors 'back then did a good job of selling 3 legged towers. I saw several while driving around the country side.

Re: # legged Aermotor
I always heard a 3 legged tower engineered higher wind than a four legged tower?

Re: # legged Aermotor
I had an old man once that thought he was an Aermotor expert tell me Aermotor didn't build 3 legged towers, after I told him I had one. I saw it was a waist of time to try and change his mind. Story I was told was that if you bought a 3 legged tower other farmers would figure you didn't have the money to buy a real 4 legged tower or you were too cheap.
