I havent seen that u shaped thing yet all my vanes just have the 3 angle irons even the big one that came with the 10' wheel. This vane i am painting is for an open double gear ideal. So do you have any foot gear stuff to make it work. That would be so cool to see that all working

Something just dawned on me these things were stenciled and then they brushed in the gaps

That's the way some of my stencils are. Didn't know about those tho.

That's the way my stencils work, trace the outline and fill in the open area. I trace mind with a black marker easier to not run out of the lines.

Mike, no I'm still looking for a foot gear.

Be tough to find an original. I do have a pile of model T ford differentials tho. A period correct adaptation??

You never know, there is still a lot of stuff out there, I never thought I would find a powermill and then within three months I hade 2

It seems with me when I stop looking for something that's when I find it. I had that happen on a model 202 JD two way plow. Looked for years quiet looking and ended up with two.

I'll watch here in Sask for you now that I know what it looks like. I wonder did GS&M make those foot gears or someone else? Is there casting #s. Does the foot gear show up in any GS&M literature?

Which leads me to another question. Did GS&M make there own pumps? It would be nice to have the correct pump when I put up my tower.
