Jim, you have done a great job building the Aero Windmill and tethering it to a Jensen 35.  Seems a perfect pair to get the job done!!  Just to show you how well made the Aero pieces are, I have had one of those setups bolted to a deck railing for 10 years and metal has stood up very well and twirls merrily to this day.

cheers,
Rog

Nice job Jim, I like how you set it up with the water pump to double as a trans. I also liked viewing your collection in the video, very nice. Looks like I’m going to have to pickup a windmill for myself.

Great job!  Those windmills look awesome and I had no idea something like this was still being manufactured.  The Aero windmill is definitely on my buy list.

Thanks Bruce, but the credit is all to you mate you paved the way on these. I just copied your mods and design :)

Just a terrific toy steam accessory. The grandkids where here this morning and they were thrilled with it.

Roscoe, these have to be the best value in steam accessories.

You'll be impressed with one that's for sure.
