Mystery hub

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.

The price list that Peter posted shows hub replacement for Toronto and Stratford mills. Does anybody have more information on the Stratford mills? Were they basically the same as the Toronto or Aermotor?

The fellow that had the hub, gave it to me yesterday. It is definitely the hub mentioned in the price list. It has a part number of ENA 61, the regular hub has ENA 59 and Toronto spokes fit. It's the first one I have seen, so now I will have to put one like that together. :D

Peter that hole in the side of the Hub is that an oil access hole? My transition Bell Hub has one but my other two don't.

Dan, the hub is hollow. The holes were probably there to get the sand out from the core when casting it. The bell hub Toronto also had one hole and the oil bath Toronto had three large oval holes.

Okay the single hole in my Bell Hub was so you could get at the oil hole on top of the snout under the Hub.
