Advise on old windwill

The windmill was 40' tall but we bent the bottom 10' when I took it down.  Its now 30', which is fine because I have equipment to reach it at 30'.  The governor does work, I watched it the other day in high winds and the tail comes around to slow it down.   I believe the year is between 1931 - 1941.  I want to take a 5 gallon pail when its a good steady wind and see how long it takes to fill it.  I am guessing less than a minute.
