Uh ohh...

Congratulations

I would have bet on it !! Congratulations .

Thank you thank you haha. Good news is the crosshead is still here, wedged between the two gear covers. But it is indeed missing the guide rods and the pitman arms

Thomas , nice project you just added to the list ! looks good ,

Problem is that list was already too long 5 new projects ago....

Glad you got it! The counter wieght is filled with tower punch-out circles for weight! And corner clippings! How frugal is that!

Ya know I glanced at it and figured it was just cement. But since you said that I looked closer at what is left of the top half and it's a bunch of metal circles all rusted in a clump! I probably never would have given any thought. I bet the guy who first suggested that got a raise! Hahaha

That's what was in an Elgin Wonder Model B weight I took apart also. That's when I learned they punched the holes not drill them.

Probably muuuuch faster and easier to punch them out than drill. I wish I had a punch, I'm going to have 3 separate towers I'm going to have to build for my mills!
