Help needed identifying this windmill
A fellow I work with has a windmill, he bought a few years ago but, doesn’t know what it is. He mentioned the tower came from one farmer and the fan from a neighbour of the farmer. So I’m not sure if the fan is for this windmill or not. Here are a few pictures, he took when he bought it.

I don't think that wheel goes to the mill. However, if it's a Canadian mill, who knows. It does look like the frame for a wooden wheel is already on the mill. I don't know Canadian mills, someone else might have more knowledge of those than me. Closer pics of the head would be nice.

Re: Help needed identifying this windmill
If the wheel has clips like this then the wheel is off a Toronto self-oiling mill

Looks to like it could be a Dempster 11. With the frame of a wooden wheel on the head. The 11 could have either wood or metal wheels.

That wheel does not go with the windmill pictured. Could use a better picture but it sure looks like a Dempster #14 oil bath wood wheel mill...
Re: Help needed identifying this windmill
Need to check the book. Either Dempster had the 11 or the 14 as a wooden wheeled direct stroke self oiling mill. But one of you may indeed be right. Looks like a pointed helmet. The lack of tail hardware or mounting places has me worried.

Yeah Ivan I think your right looking again it is a Dempster 14. You can see the control links for the opening and closing.
