We have restored a very good condition Dempster #4 mill some years ago. It was a great project. All of the metal was painted red and the wooden blades were painted white with red tips. The paintwork was done by a professional and was very well done. He spent a lot of time to do a good job. New wood bearings were used. We no longer plan to install and use it, so it is time to find a new home for it.

The windmill is located in Phoenix, Arizona. This mill is also advertised in Nebraska, the home of Dempster, Los Angeles, as well as Facebook.

It is hard to find a windmill of this vintage in such good condition. There are a couple of photos that show what the windmill will look like when assembled. Those are photos of different windmills. This mill is mostly disassembled at the current time. One of the fan sections is assembled to show the paint work. It is best to have an experienced installer mount this on a tower to set it up for operation. It could also be mounted for yard art and not be operational of course.

We are happy to discuss with an interested purchaser how to work out the best way to find a good home for your mill.

From the Dempster Archive:

Dempster No. 4 Vaneless (1916-1925)
In 1916, the Dempster Mill Manufacturing Company introduced another vaneless mill, the Dempster No. 4 in 10 and 12-foot diameters. These new mills retained most of the design features of the Dempster No. 3. One difference was the diagonal steel brace connecting the weighted lever and the shifting rods to the top of the mast pipe. This reinforced them substantially.

Dempster No. 4 Vaneless windmills were popular across the Great Plains including the prairie provinces of Canada. The No. 4 was on the market during a prosperous time for many farmers and stock raisers.

Thank you for looking
