Can anyone identify this tower by this cap? It may not even be a windmill tower.

I'm guessing wind generator

I think Monitor used to roll those corners instead of break them. Not positive. I've had some old 3 legged Monitor towers, and I think I remember that about them.

Mr Windy, don’t know if you noticed or not but it has hex head bolts everywhere. So I wouldn’t think it was real old. Could I adapt it to an Aermotor or Dempster mill? Without an arm and a leg?

Wayne, I wondered that too, with it having the aluminum cap. But I really have no idea.

Yes. 6 or 8 ft. Would not go any larger.

If you went with aermoter you would have to stub it. Probably would be easiest to do the same with Demster

Dan can you still get stub towers for three legged towers?

Windy I would want to put an 8’ Dempster most likely. I have a 12A I’ve picked up recently
