Dan Benjamin and I had talked, and txted pictures of gears and suck back and forth. He doesn't have the parts I need.
Much like this mill's shaft the day I got it, I'm kinda stuck...

Re: Stover Airflow disassembly
I was basing the size comparison (8.5’ v 10.5’) on the hub sizes and bolt holes on the hubs as your hub has more bolt holes to affix to the spokes. Yours is indicative of a larger mill. I see what you mean, your 5 spoke hube w/single holes vs my 6 spokes hub w/2 holes to attachment. Mine has to be ...

Re: Stover Airflow disassembly
...it is a Airflow. They had that unusual design of hub/shaft combination. If you have the Windmill "bible" on page 306-307 it tells about it. NOTE>>>THE WHEEL IN THE PICTURE IN THE BOOK IS INCORRECT. That is a wheel from a Monitor 6 ft windmill. The Airflow's hub/shaft design has a lot g...

Re: Stover M disassembly
After finishing up then selling my teardrop camping trailer, I'm finally back on the windmill. I made a 'puller' of sorts, from a piece of 3/4" steel plate, I think it was an ear I cut off a truck bumper years ago... Anyhow, I was able to carefully pull the hub and bearings, separating it from ...
