Dan, here are some updated pics of the Aermotor with furl linkage attached as you suggested. It works fine now, Thank you.
Two more questions, I have three grease cups and three oil cups that came with the mill. I am not sure what is correct for this mill or did it use a combination of the two types? Also I have the V tail but not sure it was originally part of this model. Any insight here?

Thanks for the pics it looks really good. You gotta love open gear Mills I know I do. I believe the grease cups were correct for that year and are easier to maintain than the oil cups that had wire wicks. Your tailbone is correct for that year but the tailvane is earlier it is a swallowtail but might have been left over stock i would leave it. There not that common!! Great job
