Need help identfying this old Windmill

[TroyD]

I would like to know what I have here. Any help is appreciated. The only number I could find on it was WG204.

Likely a Baker Monitor W series.

What you have is a Monitor windmill, made in Evansville, Wis. Fred Axtell sold them pretty much forever down in Texas.

The wheel on the bottom is for a 6 1/2 foot Monitor windmill.

If that Monitor windmill in the picture is a 6 1/2 footer, then you should see WB (**) on all the cast parts. A number will follow the WB. WC is the model for an 8 footer. No such thing as a WG for Monitor purposes. If the wheel has 4 spokes, it's a smaller one. All 6 1/2 ft wheels have 4 spokes.

I do believe the hub on that head is farmer engineered. It's not right.

Thank you.

Is it worth anything?

[windybob]

That depends. We have those all over the place here, so being rare is not a factor. If the insides are good, it might be a useful mill over a shallow well. Parts are available.

That wheel is not a Monitor WB wheel it is a different company.

The wheel is for a 6ft. Woodmanse Airmaster.
Someone welded the 6 ft. Airmaster hub on the WC hub.
