I am wondering if anyone one has a workshop manual or any information on a Z series mill. I have just obtained one and I am about to start restoring it.Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Greggie,

Also try here -

They have manuals on almost all windmills that were/are in use in Australia. About $10 for a CD manual.

Hi Mick,

Been a bit slow on the house building this year but I have started on it again. The curvy verandah walls are now ready for core filling. See pic -

Should be a good site for my VAWT but I still have to finish making the wings. I have about 8 metres of plastic welding to complete yet before I can install them.
