Farm Windmill for pumping water

[joes_427_vette]

I have a 50' 1929 Sears & Roebuck mill with a 6' blade. A neighbor used it to pump a cement tank full of water for his livestock. I have an 8' blade that is like new for it when it gets erected. When does one get the time for all these projects ???? I know, just add it to the list.

It hasn't been used to pump water since a modern deep well was installed 40 years ago, but it's so much a part of the place we wouldn't think of taking it down.
