There used to be a guy out in Arnett that dealt in windmills, name was Zachary Taylor, no not that Zachary Taylor. I bought a 6' Baker from him. I had a place in town that had a quicksand well I was going to use it on but it had too much sediment and the recovery time was for ever. So the Baker had to go, but it was a nice windmill.

This dude runs a windmill service company out of Tecumseh and posts videos of himself installing and repairing windmill-driven water wells. Some of it might be useful to know if you have a well.

Thanks for posting. Reminded me that I have a windmill head on a trailer at the back of the property that I need to get repaired and back on its tower. Windmillers are scarce but still around. There is a guy in Ames that has been doing this for many years.

Ours is filled with trash from so many years of leaves, etc dropping into the hole. I can see down in there, but not water, just junk.
