Tower identification

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of wind generator you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

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

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.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

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

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