Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Wow, feels good to be back in attendance. Thanks Paul!

An older friend of mine has talked about his Aermotor windmill every year for about 5 years when he attends our Hit & Miss Engine workshop. So since I am only working COVID hours, every other week, he decided to bring to me to work on. Well it does not look like any Aermotor I have worked on, it did come with an Aermotor tail, so looking for some help please. Thanks guys!

I did find casting numbers A14, A11 on 2 of the main pieces

WAit a minute. I got a crick in my neck. lol

Try this...

US Model A

I'm Guessing STOVER. Stover what? I don't know. Will check books. Sure has a lot of Stover likenesses.

Adam, how sure are you?

About 80 percent. the wheel looks like a US model mill.
US model B has a double spur gear.

My mistake The wheel is a Ideal steel (stover) but the head looks
like US Model.
Adam

ok. thanks. Stover has braces like that on the Ideal Steel. Also, Stover is known for a tailspring setup similar to that. I just am not sure if Stover ever had a single gear setup. I know nothing about USWE. If I ever found one around here I'd check myself for dreaming.

Jeff,

Can post some different pictures of under the mill by the main shaft?
