Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Wow, what a collection of some really neat machinery.

Man, I could check again on what day the windmills sell. Despite what Gregg was told, the website makes it look like they sell Friday. That would be a tough deal to show up Sat if they sell in Friday.

Received confirmation this evening that the mills will auction on Saturday.

Good to hear. Paul, raise that hand & get out that checkbook.

I was looking at the sell bill on it is what I call a sidewinder hay rake. I've always thought I needed one of them. Neat piece of machinery!

Looks to be a nice auction. If it was a little closer I might go 4 1/2 hour drive one way is a little too far.

Auction starts at 10am both days.

If you go to the auction, bring warm clothes. Saturday morning is supposed to be 30 degrees, wind chill in the 20's. High around 50.

I live not far from Sigourney. I might go, just to look...no $$ to bid, sadly. Someday, my mill will come....

I'm glad some of you people have the onions to work on those big ones. I don't. Not anymore anyways.

Went to the auction yesterday. Of course the windmills were just about the last things to sell at the end of the day. All items sold with a buyers premium of 5% plus cost to take down.
