New to the forum

[tmhaggard]

Hi all. I'm new to this forum and have enjoyed reading the topics. I am rebuilding a Baker K 8 foot from 1917 that is behind my house. I believe it is original to the farm. We had some damage from a wind storm a couple of years ago and I have taken it down. The windmill is in my shed and the tower is in 2 sections. The tower is fine and just needs painting and put back up. The windmill needs several blades and hoops, etc. I am in northern Oklahoma. I am looking for suggestions on where to get parts. Several years ago windybob looked at my windmill but I didn't do anything at the time. I would like to get a hold of him if anyone knows how too.

You have me now. email is windybob 53 @ yahoo dot com. Of course, that won't work, you need to type it correctly.

Does this mean there are 52 other "windy bobs" Heaven forbid.

haha Dave that's funny! Maybe it took me 52 tries to get it right. You know, like WD 40.

Well, back again--or I guess "new to the this "new" forum" (Thanks,Paul) I'm still TipTop, the name of the Elgin windmill I was near when I was born 75 years ago+. I've collected "wind generators" since the early 80's (Wincharger, WindPower, Jacobs and some of the resurgent stuff of the 80's- WhirlWind, Enertech, and 10-23 Jacobs) then got into waterpumpers maybe 20 years ago. So, some of you will remember when I hung around before. Due to age and health, I will entertain parting with some of the stuff while I still get around. So, hello to all from North central Kansas.
