Can anyone help me identify the make and possible year of the wind I just purchased.

Now that I read your post I remember that we had found a number on part of the gears and it started with an A" indicating that it had 8' mill originally on it. I plan putting a 8' back on her. Thank you CTXmiller for the info.

Correct on the sizes. I have an L case. Let me see if I can find a pic of the 6 ft case and 20 ft case together...


Ahh yes. Here it is....

Sweet ! but out of curiosity how tall does that tower have to be for that 20 ' ? and what is the weight of it ? Lol

The shortest tower for a 20' Aermotor windmill is 40 feet. The gearbox, blades, and tail weigh about 5000 pounds.

You can display them on an eye level tower. When we went to the Harper farm at Sedwick Ks he had a 20ft DEmpster and a 22ft Challenge 27 where you could walk under the blades. Really neat.

I spoke with you on the phone this evening. June 3rd around 7p
My time (southern Il.) I should of mentioned that I'm on the forum and you and others had responded and help me identify what I had bought. I will in touch with you soon. ~DEW (Dwayne Hunter)

I have my 1903 Aermotor so the blades are just above head level. Nice to look at, people get mesmerized when watching the gears & mechanisms working ... and easy to get up there to lube.
