help me model and years

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

There was no helmet on that mill. It is considered an "Open-Gear" mill. All parts are open to the weather. Aermotor made a weather-proof enclosed, self oiling, mostly maintenance-free windmill in 1915. That would be the Model 502, which lasted 1 year I think. In 1916 they modified it to a Model 602 which went until 1933.

Not sure what a 'Lookout" is you are saying.
Sorry, I am confused with your last post. But then again, I am easily confused anyway.
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.

Your tail pivet has a B on it which means 10ft mill which is the size of the wheel

ah ok I thought that 10 ft was the total height of the wind turbine but in fact it is only the diameter of the wheel
