Tail bone ID

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

Tail bone ID

Post by Jim Corcoran »

Anyone know what model Flint & Walling mill this belongs to? It looks identical to my 8-foot Star 37 but is 9'-7.5" long. It has what appears to be a pullout arm wired to it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

So that would be a WD?

When I think of a WD, I think of a Baker-Monitor WD which is a 10’ diameter. I think it is a Flint & Walling Star #37 in the 10’ size.

Yep, my senior moment. Crossed the F&W with my Baker WB.
