In the past in rural America, the windmill could be seen on many farms to pump water. One brand frequently found in around this area was the Aermotor, which was produced in Chicago starting in 1888. The weekly maintenance was reduced to once a year when in 1915, the auto-oiled windmill included an enclosed gear case. The company was sold in 1958 and after several other company transfers, moves and name changes, the name was restored in 2006 to the original name that was established in 1888…The Aermotor Company, when the company was purchased by a private group of West Texas Ranchers.
