Empire #56 Windmill and Waterpump Combo run
« on: January 14, 2021, 03:01:51 pm »
Hello from Brooklyn...

  A few months ago I purchased an Empire #56  Windmill and Waterpump combo.
Unfortunately, it was missing the blade.  I searched EBAY and found an incomplete
windmill kit (name Aermotor) with an appropriate blade.  I bought it and it fit
perfectly, after a bit of fussing.  Runs like a charm in the video with my B31.



Good Luck,
Wayne

Sure is a nice setup Wayne, thanks for sharing  :)

A minor correction to your movie, the correct name for the windmill would be B-36.

I got the # from another site.  Will investigate
later.

But, it is a sweet runner!

Well, looked a bit farther and the first one I saw said 56,
but the others I've just seen said 36.   So, there it is,
I'll need to redo the video but this time I'll be sure the
fan blade is illuminated.
