- How we found and installed a circa 1925 model 602 Aermotor windmill and Baker-Monitor hand pump on our farm in Northeast Washington in 2013. We actually put it on layaway! Our wonderful windmill guy, Hugh Grim, from Spokane actually found it in Spokane Valley and rebuilt it.

What a great story! I love your windmill, your family work ethic, and your location. I'm restoring an old windmill myself and am finding it challenging to find some parts, but I shall persevere!
It's a Fairbanks & Morse circa 1948, and was in very bad shape when I found it abandoned and non functioning out in the woods. But, I'm retired and have nothing better to do than to fiddle with an old windmill, a relic of the past that I hope to make function again some day. Thanks for posting this video. I really enjoyed it.
Glenn Bowman Thanks! I can’t help you with your windmill, but I remember an ice breaking tugboat I was stationed on had Fairbanks-Morse main propulsion engines. Sixteen cylinder behemoths. Past crew members had named one “Zeus” and the other “Thor”...
Great video! Just installed a Baker monitor handpump on our property in Oregon. Now you got me thinking of a windmill!
WD GlockandRoll we love our windmill! When we installed our Baker-Monitor hand pump, we did it with a windmill in mind. Thanks for watching!
@@vnthomas16 They are a great addition to the farm.or homestead. We've wanted one for awhile just in case, I figured with the pandemic the 'just in case' was now.
Awesome video. I own my Great Grandfather old Aeromotor that was blown down by a Hurricane but was salvaged. The blades were saved but bent, the tower was a complete loss, but the wind mill is rebuildable. I have a Red Jacket pump for underneath.
The Cajun Homesteader glad to hear the mill itself is repairable! Our windmill shows it ages, bullet holes, etc. Aermotor is still in business so you can get parts from them and even a whole new tower... But it might be fun to find another old windmill you can salvage for parts. Best of luck and thanks for watching!
Nice. Working on my Dempster. Hope to raise it 4th of July.
That’s awesome! We love our windmill! Will you use yours to pump water too? Thanks for watching!
Blue Creek Dairy Farm WA yes down the road. This will be as a back up only. The sucker pipe and pump is pricy though.
Interesting and worth watching
How is everything holding up? Do you still use it? Would you do it again? Hope all is well with you. Don
how did they raise up the windmill before those hydraulic lifts?
You can hinge two of the legs and put it together horizontally on the ground, and then stand it up.
@@vnthomas16 thanks - I had never heard of using hinged legs before! Fascinating.
Que bueno esta ei aerobomba
excelente
WHAT IS THE MATERIAL YOU USED IN PROFELER
Most of the windmill is galvanized steel. We bought it used. Thanks!
How tall is your tower?
Corey Acre, well, when you’re standing at the bottom looking up, it doesn’t look seem so tall. When you’re at the top, looking down it seem like it is awfully tall! But I think it’s something like 26’
I was wondering because the ones in my area are around 40'. How big is the wheel.
Corey Acre It’s an 8 foot sail.
I can tell it's kinda old because it say Chicago
Tractor Boy3000 Indeed! I believe they’re made in Texas now. Thanks for watching!
They are made in texas
