I don't know how often Walter is here, but Walter, here's that Fairbury sail I got from you in Pleasanton. I straightened the bent parts and bent the straight ones and bolted it all together. Here's where it will reside unless and until I happen upon the machinery that will let it turn. Just thought you'd want to know.
Thanks again

Re: Fairbury Sail
Good job. Knew there was good restorable wheel in that pile; hope you can find a 6 foot Fairbury for it.
Challenge 27
P.S. Saw a 6 footer, but it was in Kansas. Probably along Kansas State highway 18, or possibly on US 24, west of Stockton. east of Colby. Last time I saw it (years ago) the wheel was coming apart.

Re: Fairbury Sail
As I come across these, it would probably be good to know which ones I'm looking for. From the field guide, it looks like models 7AA, 7B and 33 were offered with 6' wheels. Would it be safe to assume that the wheels were interchangeable across those models?
