I have seen windmill parts for sale on line but you need to know the name and model you have to find what you need. What kind do you have? Some brands you can buy new repop parts and build a brand new windmill from scratch.

Unca Jack,

Not too many responses and some of the gang are windmill guys. Oh well.

If you happen to have an Aero 702 series, I know the guy who makes all of the reproduction parts today to the original drawings. He even makes complete new units to the original designs. I'd be happy to contact him for you if you'd like. And if you have a different model and are still coming up empty, maybe he can offer the 'where'.

Hi Jack
Have you tried http://vintagewindmillparts.com/
They claim to have some new and used parts, parts drawings and instruction manuals
for many makes of windmills. They also have a discussion board that may be of help.

Here is a pdf copy of the “Windmill City” book they publish as “A Guide To The Historic Windmills Of Batavia, Illinois”

If your mill is an Aermotor go to Aermotor Windmills
They make new parts for all Aermotors.

Jeese !!! Hate to be a nuisance, but if you load my link to the Google patents
and then click on “Images” at the left of the page (under Search) it will load
a few pages of windmill related photos, of which many will take you to sites
with further windmill info and photos. Is there no end to Google’s wizardry?
Click on Web for 10 pages of related links.

I hope all of these great machines and especially the Folks in the path of “Sandy”
survived the devastation inflicted by the wind showing another side of it’s ‘power’

Regards
Art
