Looking for a Ruralite tail vane

Looking for a Ruralite tail, sheet metal only works or entire machine. These were sold by other distributors so could have “Fairbanks Morse” or “Emjay” for tail graphics. Any leads appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Roof mounted 32 volt winchargers?

Yes Wincharger did make a 300W, model 3216. They do look like a heavy duty 6v so you’d have to find the model number stamped on the case or have a decent tail vane. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered one but someone sent me a photo of a tail so I know they existed…and I have a drawing. The tail ...

Re: New Arrivals

That’s some attention to detail Mike…Pay no attention to the corvette in the corner…..oz reference. It’s a field find from 20+ yrs ago, had a bent frame, snake skin under dash and leaves in the intake, now a wind charger chase car.

Re: New Arrivals

More Heller Aller Baker direct stroke pics….
The tail and wheel are in amazing condition, like they just came out of the crate. Other parts have been repainted. I’m not sure if it’s the older or newer type. Maybe someone can enlighten me. No tower or stub tower. There’s 2 main castings. This machine ...

Re: New Arrivals

Will do. It may take me a while to unravel the windmill part puzzles so stay tuned. Castings are easy enough to sort out, it’s the smaller hardware that may force me to assemble them all to make sure they’re complete.
Btw…the Woodmanse is a steel gear back model, not direct drive.
Also, the new ...
