Re: Woodmanse steel back gear.
Not positive. Strictly Woodmanse did have CCW wheels. Not sure about it after they bought out Stover.

Re: Pulling the fan from motor
OKay, just remember these things can kill. I read of a guy one time where he fell off, and wound up with a fence post through him.

Re: Pulling the fan from motor
Guessing around 75 pounds. Don't know Canadian measurements. But it's bulky, difficult to handle. I would not do it without another helping.
You are making me nervous.

Re: Pulling the fan from motor
On Monitor Hambone, or WB mills, the wheel is a 4 section wheel, for a 6.5 foot mill. 4 bolts on the front of the hub, 4 bolts on the rear of the hub.

One time i learned the hard way that when you take a section out of a wheel, it spins to enable the heavier part to be at the bottom. Had a scar running down from above my eye, to about halfway down my che...

I stay far away from twist-link chain for Monitor mills. For the life of me, I cannot ever remember ...

Re: Pulling out fan and motor
I have a neighbor who took up 6 ft Aermotors on his shoulder when he was young. Then built the wheel and put the tail on. That I can imagine.
