Not mine, but I saw it for sale on the Marketplace. Early Fairbury with an Aermotor wheel and Fairbanks Morse vane? That is my guess.

No, it is the Abilene area via Marketplace. I’m not interested in it, but was curious at the make. The seller was asking $1k. Fairbury was my best guess…

Eclipse wood style mainframe that has had the wheel and tail changed. The governor weight should ID the manufacturer of the frame but I am not familiar who had a rectangle weight.

Weight almost looks homemade. And the corn picker sprocket on the outer hub/shaft sets it off.
