I saw this one in Red Rock AZ. You can see it off I-10 as you're driving from Phoenix to Tucson.
Looks like the bottom of the mast is no longer attached to the tower and the motor has settled on to the furl ring (and the motor doesn't seem to be in alignment with the mast.

Re: This One's Got Problems
I have gone off that exit different times to work on windmills on the other side of the interstate at Owl Head. I never took a close look at that 1 at the highway. But it has been in disrepair for a long time.
The tail, spokes and motor are the only thing Conway, the rest is Chicago. It is a late Conway so it's demise wasn't related to green paint. The tower isn't true with pipe pulling girts and no pipe window. It's demise was from mast base bolts, either coming loose or shearing
