Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Does anybody have one of the ends of an old wooden sucker rod they would part with. I don't care which end male or female. I can make it work with the end I have. I want to put a wooden rod coming down from the windmill to a pump it won't pump water just move up and down. It is for the Dandy I'm putting up at our Pioneer Village.

Wayne are you talking about the cast iron swivel that connects the pump rod to the wooden sucker rod. If you are i believe Steve has one it might need welding

This is what it looks like

Wayne I have a couple, still on a wood rod. I don't think I have a spare off a rod,I will look. They are galvanized, 5/8 threads ( male and female) on the ends.

Windy would you happen to have the round cast piece that goes over the pump rod with a set screw but isn't threaded that fits inside the swivel i posted a picture of

I know I have one, but not sure if I have an extra. Next time I get to the shop I will check.

Thanks windybob

Windy here is what I have. If your pieces look like this one, mine is a female, but as I said it doesn't matter as I can make it work. I was going to use this end to hook to my pump. Would you sale one of yours I'll pay shipping. Or if you want to sale them as a pair I'd do that. Thanks You can send me a PM if you want.

WHen I get by the shop I will check. I know I have a full stick with both ends. Not sure if I have extras. I might have used it at one time to hook up a well.

I have a few 20 ft length origional sucker rods.
