Stub tower ID

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

Stub tower ID

Post by TdcJD »

Can anyone tell me the make of this stub tower i have? It had an Appleton mill on it, but it was heavily modified with a model a transmission and the stub tower looked more of just a work stand so not sure if its actually an Appleton tower.

I believe you’re correct in calling it an Appleton or at least the castings appear so. I have the same tower cap under my Butler, on a stub in my shop, as it fit and I understood the 903 to be Appleton when I researched it a few years back. I can’t speak for the X cross bracing strap, so those might be add-ons or not.

You have to zoom pretty good to see the 904 casting part # in that tower that I sent to you via a private message that was an Appleton.
