Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

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?

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.
