Hi Inno, this one hadn't pumped any water recently, but the motor was in surprisingly good shape. Unfortunately, the tower got a bit mangled when it was moved from the farm. Like most things, repairable. Hmmm... no idea how to get more than one photo in here. The tower even has a large wooden tank. This model was discontinued in 1933, no idea how old this one is.
What surprised me was the reaction of people everywhere we stopped. Something about an old windmill that makes people feel good. Even got thumbs-up from some of the people who passed us on the freeway.
Regarding "I'd like to see a house with modern construction just be left for 30-40 years. I'll bet they wouldn't even be standing without regular attention", well, I've got one. It's concrete and steel with 2' of dirt on the roof. Needs no heating or cooling, no exterior maintenance, and doesn't care if we're here or not. We could walk away for years and it would be just about the same when we returned. Maybe a little dust inside.
A windmill outside here will look just right. It's to feed a new trout pond.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
