Help identifying this windmill

[3670]

I inherited this windmill and know nothing about it. Anything would be great!

I believe that's an open gear Heller Aller.

Yes it is. That's the one I'm looking for, for my collection. lol

Bob wasn't the shaft stationary and the Hub spun on it like a wagon wheel i believe.

[windybob]

On some, yes. I think it was the geared one, the D.S. stroke one, not sure. I have a Pirate hub and wheel, it spins on the shaft also.

Bob i think that's the same mill that woman Lori was asking about in Ohio. Pretty sure!!

Thank you for the information. I am also in Ohio. Is there any where to find what kind on maintenance it needs? The windmill has not had anything done for over years as my dad was very sick before his death.

Your best bet would be to contact a windmiller in your area to climb up there and check it out.
