JK Windmills

My husband Jim Koch founded JK Windmills in 1998. Many of you probably knew him. Sadly, he died in 2021. He left an extensive collection of mills in all states of restoration, as well as towers, parts, and pumps. I am now trying to figure out what is what and get some of them to homes where they can be spinning, as this would be his wish for sure. As I post pics of different mills, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am overwhelmed with windmills!

Welcome to the forum. My condolences on Jim’s passing.

Someone will be able to identify them and identify the parts for you.

Yes sir. He oils and repairs the zephyr, steel star, and aermotor we have on the property. He’s been awesome. Figuring out what is here is a really big job though.

Welcome to the forum Beth. I was saddened when I heard of Jim's passing he was a good guy. He was very proud of his Rex windmill and couldn't wait to show it to me, as i couldn't wait to see it.
