The old iron, turning again.

A well-built windmill can pump for a lifetime on nothing but the wind — if someone keeps it greased, geared and true. We sell them, set them, and bring the tired ones back to life all over Central Texas.

A windmill is one of the few machines on a ranch that will work for you every day for decades and never send a bill. But it's still a machine — leathers wear, gears dry out, and a tower that's been leaning into forty years of Texas wind eventually needs a hand. That's the work we do.

What we do with windmills

Repair the old one, or set a new one?

That's the honest question every windmill owner eventually asks, and we'll give you a straight answer instead of a sales pitch. Often a classic multi-blade mill is worth rebuilding — the towers were built heavy, the parts are still made, and there's nothing quieter or cheaper to run than a machine that pumps on wind alone. Other times the smart money is a new mill, or a solar pump in the same hole. We've done all three, and we'll tell you which one belongs on your place.

Why a windmill still makes sense

No electric meter, no fuel, no wire run across the pasture. On a windy site with a shallow-to-moderate water table, a windmill quietly keeps a stock tank full while you sleep — and keeps working the week the power's out.

Parts we keep turning

Leathers and cups, gearboxes, pump rods, sucker rod couplings, cylinders, check valves, tower legs, braces and anchor bolts, sail sections and tail vanes. The multi-blade windmill has been built to the same basic pattern for over a century, which is exactly why a good one can be kept running almost indefinitely by someone who knows it.

Common Questions

Windmill questions we hear a lot

My windmill stopped pumping — is it worth fixing?
Usually, yes. Most "dead" windmills need leathers, a cylinder, or gearbox service — not replacement. We'll come look and tell you honestly whether to rebuild the old rig or set something new.
How deep a well can a windmill pump?
It depends on the mill size, the wheel diameter and your water level, but classic multi-blade mills routinely lift water from wells well over a hundred feet. We size the mill and cylinder to your specific well.
Do you build new towers, or just repair mills?
Both. We set new towers, repair and straighten existing ones, and re-anchor towers that have started to lean after years in the wind.
Can you put a solar pump in my old windmill well?
Yes — that's a common upgrade. If a windmill no longer fits the site, we can set a solar pump in the same hole and keep the mill as a landmark. Ask us which makes sense for you.
