started another

Post by mtblah »

The Ideal Steel is up & spinning .
I sat for a couple of days wondering what to do ?
So I started to dissemble another Aermotor , this one is a B602 , so Windy I will find out if any of the lessons you have taught me I will remember .
This tower has a B602 so my guess it was all shipped to the local hardware store as a package , notice the printing on the tower leggs , bolts & nuts , gerts & stringers , steps , every thing appears very origional . Cant wait to get inside the motor .

Mike, Might not do another really soon. My Ideal harvest has just about run out, getting ready to fertilize and plant a few more for you. LOL

There was one in Fredericksburg a few months ago I tried to get in amazing condition but I was beat by a antique shop just wanting the fan. The rest I was told was taken to the metal recycler tower and mill.

I told someone the people who run up the cost of windmills is women. When They see a wheel they want price is no object.
