some random windmill project photos

[redbrand]

This is my first attempt at posting photos here, so I hope this works :?

A test run after a substantial overhaul

Re-leathering the pump cylinder

A satisfying scene--a full tank :wink:

Shadows and ripples in the tank on a hot afternoon.

Looking out across the hills

A "before" shot of another one

Putting the head back up after having it down for some repairs. Plenty of wind in this country for generating some electricity and pumping a little water too

Ready to tighten the last of the bolts before the sun sets

Ready to go to work again after several years of neglect

Yours truly out checking mills this past winter

Your one water pumping son of a gun. :lol:

Great shots. I think the wind would blow a mill down today.

I'm in eastern Crawford county, so not far from there at all! I also do a lot of custom fencing along with the windmill work, and I just finished a project over toward the Monona county line. Small world!
