Should be just crap, sludge, etc. Try poking and prodding.
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.

Sludge or crap in a 1942 windmill ????? I am sure the farmer changed the oil frequently to keep it clean ....
