Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Hopefully soon windybob It wont be a fairbury maybe something more rare i know fairbury isnt your favorite but its just what i ended up with

Finally got my first mill up and pumping one year after taking it down in central Kansas, disassembling, repairing, reassembling, and errectings on my property in southeast Oklahoma. A very rewarding experience. What a great addition to the landscape. I find myself looking up alot now. Thanks to all...

Thanks for the info i read this forum daily and appreciate all wonderful knowledge that is distributed

When changing plunger leathers, does anyone know the advantages or disadvantages of soft vs hard leathers

I would take one or two

They will be for a 6 foot mill.

Looking for a pair of pinion (small) gears for a Fairbury #7. If no one has any but might know where there might be a pair please let me know. Wayne says there is a guy who might be able to machine some. I would prefer to find a pair of useable ones but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Thanks Wayne, I hope i don't have to resort to that. I'm going to advertise the need in the wanted section, hopefully someone has some. They are the angle-cut gears Windybob.

Hope these pics show up. I’m kinda new to this tech stuff
