63939 | | Z | 1945 | | Model za1c -wet sump / 6ft fan /24ft tower / 3 legged, purchased off a farm at pine lodge ( near shepparton ) Victoria .Mill had been on the ground for the last 25 years .
Now relocated to Rushworth -vict. Tower has undergone a full rework including a new iron bark platform & new legs into the ground Followed tower erection instructions as set out in a S.Cross manual of a 1950 vintage.The gear box/ engine head had a lot of very worn , broken parts , along with completely worn out main shaft bearings. Near new orginal pinion gears / a new orginal bronze oil scraper & new crank arms have been fitted. In terms of having the gearbox -main shaft bearings recast in white metal , due to the excessive cost involved have opted to line-bore the casting & then fit 3 x self lubricating brass bearing shells. ( took 7 hours to set up &bore on a small vertical milling machine ) I have been able to source parts thru a 88 year old local who used to service mills when he -was in his twenties. Hardest part to date has been repainting the southern cross name onto the corrugated iron tail.-Next stage is to refit gear box & fan into the stub tower .

93160 | | Z | 1950 | | I rescued it from a development bulldozer, but a large Box Thorn had bent the three legs so badly that it collapsed when the tree was removed from it. I can’t match the steel used, but will use a slightly larger angle to replace the three lower sections and should have it re-erected in a working condition. The wheel is in good condition, but the pump is a little rusted | David | Vic |
