Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

I had no trouble booking in Pipestone today. Booked a room at the OYO as you can cancel right up to the day before. You pay when you check in.

We had warnings on TV no to use heavy drawing appliances, block heaters Etc in the evening hours.
I remember these extreme cold temps when growing up in the 1940 and 50s.

Thanks Peter. There is nothing left of the four wheel spokes in the holes. Just about maybe 1/4 to 3/8 inch of the threaded portion. I was thinking of drilling through with a slightly smaller drill bit and rethreading with the right size pipe tap. The mill was tied to a 7 foot pallet with rebar wire...

I recently acquired a Beatty Pumper at an on line auction. The above information will come in handy down the road when i will try and get my mill up and running. My mill had only one wheel arm that was attached to two wheel sections. That will be my pattern when making the other 5. The hub has only ...
