Yep I did Wayne, another senior moment

Welcome to the forum Jason. Pics will help. Is yours an original F and W eclipse? There are a few people around who make new sails. Keep us posted.

It says 1902 Wayne, hard to believe.

Pretty cool!!

Check your hood and make sure it fits properly and is tightened down all the way. Also no cracks.

According to the nosepiece number you posted it's a 10 ft and the sticker on the case says equipped with timken bearings.

Agreed!!!

Thanks for the trivia Challenge 27 I'm more of a open gear guy and 602 oil bath mills but when i found my NOS challenge 27 still in the crate I couldn't pass it up. Thanks again!!!

Now I know the tailvane is the same for 8,9, and 10ft mills. Are the sails the same with different wheel and wheel arms?

It tells the size of the Mill i believe the 8 and 10 are the same. I'm not 100 percent on that being the same.
