Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

I think it is going to be a challenge obtaining the metal parts to build the wheel.
Wood work not a problem as have the jig I used for my Monitor L.
Have not seen anything like this in my travels.
Placed ad in various papers to see if there will be any response.

I think the Herrigs in Minnesota and Dan B in S Dakota do a lot of wooden-type mills. Have not heard from Jud lately though. How about Paul Cowley?

Oh...What size would that mill be?

The mill is going to be 10 foot according to lettering on case.
I have Dan`s phone number from the 2018 trade fair book and will give him a call.
Thanks,
Joe

Very nice Joe!!

Great find Joe.
After this thread started I decided to get my Dempster 14 out and get started to rebuild it.
I got to thinking that the wheel may be the same as a Dempster 3 or 4. So i called Dan B. and asked him. He said that it is the same wheel. Yea. I have a new wheel for a 3 or 4. So I pulled it out of the barn and put it in the shop this weekend and start to redo it. I am missing a few parts. No problem Dan has them. It needs dog bones. Dan said the bones are made out of flat iron with a cast clip bolted to the flat iron. I can make the flat iron with measurements. Also missing a few other parts I need to go through the parts list and see what I am missing. By the way I found a parts list in the Winter 2010 Windmiller's Gazette.
My plan is to have this mill done by the Trade fair and have it on display.

According to the Bible the #14 was made from 1923 to 1941 and was only made in a 10 ft. model.

Welcome to the forum Joe. Looks like you have a nice winter project.

This is the inside of the case. This is part of the pull out.

More detail of the front bearing and some more of the pullout.
These is a babbitt mill.

The under side of the top bearing cap. I thought I would paint the casting letters to make them stand out.
