John what do you need for lengths in tower legs? If I don't have what I need I usually just let the raw steel rust, it doesn't match but could have also been a farmer repair at some point in time. If you get up to Phoenix, I am on the west side near the Cardinal Stadium. Send me a PM for address & Cell number

Interesting, it looks like your tower legs have holes for 3 different platforms

I cannot thank everyone on this site enough for all of the education, encouragement and help that was offered! I knew almost nothing about windmills before joining. Windcatcher530Dan went above and beyond with his help and wisdom. Thanks Dan for the countless texts and calls that you (and your brother) helped with! Many thanks to everyone!
