I saw a currogated one on fb mp earlier. Looked like it might have been a 6 footer, not positive.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.

super simple design w/wooden pitman arms , i can't imagine how often the farmer was supposed to oil that open gear , and didn't .

Me too…I try not to stray from the early wind electrics but there’s something about the open gears. They’re kinetic sculptures with patina.
