The Hunt is On

Post by Windcatcher530 Dan »

This past week when me and my brother were at the fair an ole timer told us of a windmill that sits in a field on top of this mountain about 2 hrs away. Just finished my coffee and heading to my brothers to pick him up. Good morning everyone!!!

The Hunt was successful not only was there one but two Stover airflows with a surprise under the one.The woman that lived there passed away and the farm is up for sale all five hundred acres with a beautiful view if only I was rich.

Likely a 10.5’ Airflow as my 8.5’ Airflow has 5 spokes and that one has 6. The other mill looks like a S, but I could be wrong. Beautiful view.

Michael your right the mill with just the gear box is different from the air flow. Now I studied the pics better i can see that I just surmised they were the same being there both on the same farm. Thanks

When it sells. Will it continue to be a farm or a housing development? Beautiful View.
