Dave, I do not. I did head up the church band here several years ago. I'm a genuine Okie Baptist. Baptized in my pool when I lived out in the country. My son did too at the time. Most of the church came out to witness. It was grand.

Those parts you posted might be from a Woodmanse AirMaster.

I did look at the rest of the" M's " laying around, and they all have part numbers with 8 at the front. Woodmanse did buy out Stover in the 40's. I will more checking. You may very well be correct. Thanks!

Making some progress. Got bottom section of tower cleaned and painted. Got head cleaned and it spins real nice and pumps oil. The cast iron piece at the top of the 3 legs was busted and we have welded it together. Wait in on a part from Dan Benjamin so we can figure out J hook etc. is there supposed to be a spring with the J hook?

Got some work done on the Samson. It was in a tornado so the legs were bent and we had to straighten. The bracket for the platform was bent and needed some work.
Got the head painted. Going with red but think the whole thing was silver before we got it.
Looking for someone who might have a 3 leg unit. We have a couple braces that don’t make sense to us that look like they should support the platform.

I painted mine red also. Stover original should be black. Yuk. A lot of mills are silver due to barn painting by a spray painter. "Hey while you're here, can you paint my windmill tower too?" Enough said. LOL
