Re: Babbit
If it's a show mill, use tire weights. If it's a pumper, get some medium hard stuff. The more tin, the harder it is.

Re: Axtell Windmill Co. History
I have one I bought from Paul Cowley all in a basket. He had tossed in new parts he had, but it rained in the bucket. They we not too far gone, for a clean up, and a floor model Axtel model A. Thanks for your history, and the info.

Re: Degreaser
I used to take heads to the machine shop for a dip in the hot tank. They gave me a reasonable price, and it was worth it considering the time it took for me to put them in the parts washer here. Then I started using the torch. That was fun. lol

Re: Monitor WB question
W series mills had an option to order them as a "pull-out" mill. Speculationg that the 'one-off' hook you have was for that purpose. Been a long time since I saw a diagram of a pull-out system, however years ago I designed and made a changeover kit to do just that. just for starters I will...

Re: Monitor WB question
You won't get any negative feedback from me for that idea! I hate those things. I always grind a point on those bolts. Really helps. The good thing about your idea is that you can flip the top over and store it on one of the studs. Maybe even used it for a tool tray. Or a drink holder. LOL

Re: Monitor WB question
ok. Yes was windy here too. Might try some different ways to hook the spring, like maybe hook it in the chain first, then open the tail, and hook it,or vice versa. I don't remember having troubles hooking that up on the little 6 footers like that.
