Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Your probably better off getting another tower wether it be used or new those corner angles are very hard to straighten. As far as the mill it depends on alot it should have new bearings,how worn are the gears, did the hub break when it fell, also the wheel will need some work. Tough call !!

Glad we don't have those damn things up here !!

I think freshly drank beer cans work best !!

Just make sure the seller who is selling the rebuilt 702 is honest and reliable and willing to guarantee the mill. There's been a few on the forum who got burned with rebuilt mills !!

YaHoo another one saved !! Do you have all your wheel arms too Thomas.

Yep those are Flint and Walling sail ties.

I agree !!

I believe they all did but wouldn't bet my life on it !!

Have a great day sir.!!

Windy Bob, when my uncle Bill was younger he probably could have lifted that mill off the tower he raised pigs and could carry two 200lb pigs one under each arm.
