A question about Aermotor 702 wheel arms

Hello, it's been a while since I posted anything on this forum. My question is, when installing the old style wheel arms on an Aermotor 702, after lining up the arms, the arms are crisscrossed as they should be, but when putting on the wheel sections, should one of the (tabs?) on one arm be on top ...

Re: Posting on this forum testing

Wayne, I had been trying to post on the "New topic" for a couple days and nothing came through. I was wondering if there was an issue with something else in the meantime. It's been a while since I posted anything, but it always used to go through. I will try again later. Thanks.

Even more progress on the WC 8.....

Got this WC 8 hanging in my pole shed until it warms up some time next spring. Too cold for me for windmill stuff here in Central MN. Got it together a bit more, still want to tweak the wheel a bit to make it run more true. Otherwise a good two coats of cold galvanizing compound with a bit of ...

WC 8 mill....making progress.

It's been a while since I posted on here. I am making progress on that Monitor WC 8 mill I posted pics on a while back on the technical forum. I think this mill was a very early version of the WC because of the upper bearing turntable race being different and it has a bushing ...
