The Ideal Vane on the wall is off a 13' Power mill, I also have the hub and wheel for it. I found it this summer, unfortunately the scrap guy got a hold of the rest, that was really disappointing. The pic is what it would look like. Can you post some pics of what you have? Shop is really handy, I have it heated all winter. We use an outdoor wood furnace to heat two houses, two shops, milk house and all the hot water tanks.

Wow, that would be really disheartening. Mine is the Irrigation version so its different but when the 10 inches of snow melts, I will try to post a picture. Powermills are really my main field of interest these days, thanks for the pictures as I didn't have that one.

Here are some pictures I took of a power mill at Rolag MN in 2012. If the vane goes with it I guess it is an Ideal by Goold,Shapley and Muir. It looked to be complete. Haven't been back to the show so I don't know if they have put it up[attachment=2)Mystery Mill 2.JPG[/attachment]

Hi Wayne
That one is a New Ideal, it was the later model after the Ideal

Thanks for the photos, there seems to be several "Ideals" so it is getting confusing.

OK! I know when I was looking at the mill I was wishing I could pick it up and take it home.
