Windmill Co wrench

Post by Windcatcher530 Dan »

I inherited a bunch of old wrenches from my dad and did some research on two of them because they are cast iron. I found out they are both made from different plow and farm implement companies.My question is did any windmill Co make wrenches.These are the two plow co.wrenches.

Dan there were some other Company's that had wrenches. Since these company's also made some Farm implements and feed grinders the wrenches were for them. I have some books about wenches I'll look through them and see what I finf. I remember some Windmill company's being in the books. being in there. The style of the Dempster wrench was common for farm implements and if I'm not mistaken Dempster made fee grinders.

Yep Wayne i know there were windmill companies that made other things besides windmills but what i wanted to know is if they made a wrench strictly for the tower or wheel or mill nuts. I know Aermoter made a punch and drill but I don't believe they made a wrench !!
