Thoughts on this one?
Not mine, but I saw it for sale on the Marketplace. Early Fairbury with an Aermotor wheel and Fairbanks Morse vane? That is my guess.

Michael , is it in the Waco area ?
Re: Thoughts on this one?
No, it is the Abilene area via Marketplace. I’m not interested in it, but was curious at the make. The seller was asking $1k. Fairbury was my best guess…

Looks like a convoluted mess.

Eclipse wood style mainframe that has had the wheel and tail changed. The governor weight should ID the manufacturer of the frame but I am not familiar who had a rectangle weight.
Re: Thoughts on this one?
Weight almost looks homemade. And the corn picker sprocket on the outer hub/shaft sets it off.
