A little gear oil along the way may have helped! :D

That's what I said. But my brother and uncle swear it had oil.
 
More pics of the house/mill place!
No can do. They have it rented out to a tenant. There’s another on the property that used to be used to generate power. I have some pics somewhere. It’s all nonfunctional and falling apart at this point, but would have been a cool place 50 years ago.

Here’s pics from a couple years ago.
 
Had to mow the grass at my parent’s cabin near Jonas Ridge. Figured I had enough room to carry the mower and the moto in the truck, so why not get a ride in too?
The sheriff dept had Brown Mt Beach Rd closed where you turn off and it turns to dirt. Don’t know why, so had to ride some other areas.

Here's one you might try. It's a Shame I've driven by it probably within a couple blocks & never stopped. My Aunt used to speak of it all the time. At one time they had a yearly grain sale, right off the stone wheel. Don't know about now.

What are you putting it on? I just picked one up that came with the Warn mount for a TJ, which I believe should fit a YJ too. I'm going to put it on my LJ, but that mount won't work with my bumper. I'll be selling it if you're interested.

Well, not sure. I have one on my jeep. I just couldn't leave this one alone. Thanks though

You’re welcome. I’ve been wanting one for my LJ for a long time. I had planned to buy a project like yours, but found a pretty decent deal on an 8274-50 on Marketplace so I bit the bullet. I just ordered the stuff to make my own synthetic rope while I was at work last night.

They have a store that is open all year where they sell product. There is also a big festival in the fall where they have the mill running and you can tour it.
 
Let's try this again.

@WARRIORWELDING what's a reasonable cost to have a local shop fabricate something like this?
