Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

I still have a question about the pump stroke. It seems there ought to be slot in the case for the pump am to go through to connect to the pump rod but I can't see it. What am I missing?

Wayne, you can see the pump rod in the last picture. It comes down in back of the rear cover.

I might be heading to Australia soon but if i ship a windmill back it has to be a 30' comet its about the only windmill that will make my Samson look small.

I hope you do Jake! You would be the only one in the country with one I think.

That's one impressive windmill.

The fellow I traded with is restoring a 30 foot Comet, he is going to put it up at the farm entrance. hes is in Dalwallinu western Australia

That's a double WOW! I signed up with the lady from Australia at last year's Trade Fair for her Windmill Journal. All about Australian and New Zealand windmills. In the last issue it had a story about the Alston Aqua. I enjoy reading it.

Is the 30’ Comet still being manufactured?

Wow I mean WOW

In my Windmill Journal from September 2019 they write about the Trans Australian Railway. They used Comet windmills on there wells one installed in 1933 was 35 Ft on a 45 Ft tower.
