Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

I have a Baker WB windmill my great wife bought for me on Father’s Day several years ago. The shaft still spins, but the sails are bent pretty bad. There’s a few broken parts, and hopefully I can find what I’m looking for to repair it. Mostly I’m looking for good info on how to properly restore it, and erect it in my yard. It’ll just be a spinner. So glad to have found this forum!
The man and his son my wife got it from both worked on and sold mostly aermotor mills, and had some information on Bakers. Unfortunately, they have both passed away within the last year and a half.

Billy,
I recently restored a WB that I currently have in my garage on a stub tower. Be glad to pass on anything I learned in the process, images, etc. Glad to see another one being brought back to life.

Regards,
Jim

There are several other good threads on here for rebuilding the WB/WC.
