Default Empire Toy Windmill is missing

a few parts. It's missing the blades, tail, ladder, pump piston. I searched the web a bit but didn't find anything, yet. I'm looking for a source/lead to find the parts I need. I could probably make what I need if I had some blade and tail dimensions .Here is a photo of mine and one of what it should look like. THANKS

The blade and tail dementions can be formulated from the photo of the completed unit and what you have on hand. Measure the base of your unit and then the base of the photo. From that you can determine ratio. Then measure the blades and tail on the photo. Apply the ratio to those measurements and you should be able to determine approxmate size.

I've got a bunch of pictures of one that's complete. If you want to drop me a PM with your email, I'll send them to you. I've got one of these too, and it's also missing the tail, though someone constructed a set of blades for it along the way. Pump works great with my Mamod TE-1A. :-)

Hey,
Talk to my friend (Roger Goodnow). His website is: http://www.freewebs.com/indianarog/

His email and stuff is on that website. He can give you all the information you need and might even know where there are some parts for sale.

Cheers,
Casey

This is not just what you have but the parts may be easier to come by. This came fro Tractor Supply a few years ago and my dad put it together for my son. It is 16" tall and the blades are 5". Hope it might help.
