After reading Maurice Skoch's post I thought I'd post this . I have a Monitor windmill laying in my pasture on cribbing that I took down from the field across the road when they removed the old homestead two years ago . It worked when I took it down . It was 60ft tall with a 7 or 9 foot fan - I forget . It's shorter now because I cut it off at ground level . I picked it up complete with our rough terrain crane and carried it to my place across the road . It does need new babbit bearings poured . Does anyone know how to do that ? I've read that pouring hot babbit metal can be a risky proposition . Does anyone know how to plant one in the ground ? I want to get it set up sometime . I've been told to just bore 4 holes in the ground about 5 feet deep , weld or bolt some flat plate on the bottom of the legs and backfill it with dirt . Will that work ? Thanks ...Randy
