Goold Shapley & Muir Power Mill

Mike, yes they made their own foot gears and also made lots of different pumps. GSM and Toronto aren't too common around here, mostly Beattys around here.

this foot gear is in the museum in Kendallville Indiana. I wonder who else built power mills

Hand on someone has the answer. I think about everyone that was a big time builder of windmills had a power mill in their catalog.

Wayne, you are correct.

I was there at the trade fair in 2017, I don't remember seeing that footgear anywhere.

A little more progress with one of the power mills, it's almost ready to put the wheel on. I got about 2 inches of clearance to get it out the door

IMPRESSIVE both in size and workmanship !

Very nice job. I had a model 99 -14ft aermotor power mill that was a barn find in gr8 condition.it came with a foot gear and slip clutch and shaft from mill down to slip clutch.what a beautiful mill. Sorry i let that one go.but it's in a good home now.

Nice! I am sure you did the wood work also. I assume it's going in the 2 story part of the barn but inside or outside?

So was the 99 power mill a pull in same as the pumper? That would be one rare windmill. Is it's home in a museum somewhere? I hope so as I would like to see it

Ron, yes I made the wood display stand. They are both going in the high part of the barn. I would like to have one outside but I better not, don't want it to be destroyed after all that work to get them going again.
The gear ratio on these is 1 to 6.
