Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

If you're good at fabrication you can make your own stub tower. I took and made a pattern off a Aermoter tower for the top where it fits together and my brother notched it out and it worked. Also if you don't want the tower that tall you can build a shorter ranch style tower or some call it widespre...

John Thanks but the pleasure was mine. You did a great job and now I want to thank you for saving one more icon.!!

Looks good to me Mark.One step closer to the end of the tunnel !

Don't know if this will help!!

Way to much on your plate Mark. You need a bigger plate !!

When you make your V arms what you can do is thread the ends a little deeper and use two nuts one under the outer wheel ring and then the one on top so you don't have to try to make the nub the wheel ring sits on.

Welcome to the forum Kevin. If you're only going to enjoy watching your mill spin you don't need to put the large gears in the gear box.

At first I thought maybe they somehow forgot to put the oil collector in place. But now you say it won't go in it sounds like they didn't forget they just didn't CARE.

My advice is bring it back to the "PROFESSIONAL" and tell him you want it fixed right.

I need the wheel arms for a model 1905 Fairbanks Morse 10ft or one so I can try to make the rest. Not sure if the 1893 model or newer are the same. Thanks Dan!!
