Re: What am I doing wrong?
Does that bearing bar say Argentina on it? Is that an Argentina Aermoter mill ? The bar does say Argentina and I believe the only thing that is stamped as such. The housing is a genuine Chicago mill. Sails and spokes and such are Dakota fresh made. And I’m assuming the “new” gears and bearings and ...

Re: What am I doing wrong?
Did you ever figure this problem out? How are the big gears installed? Is the 752 bearing holder installed with the pointy protrusions on top? Is the 751 bearing bar bolted down snugly? Never did truly figure it out. I did put that other set of gears in it that I posted pictures of awhile back and ...

Thought you guys might like this!
Making some straw bales this time of year and just thought you guys would like to see the Stooker in action. It's a 15 bale Inland Automatic Stooker. I've never seen another one in my life anywhere and there's very little information on the internet about them. What I always heard is they came out i...

Re: What am I doing wrong?
Look at the difference on the teeth between these two gears. First picture is of the gears that are nice and quiet. Second picture is of the noisy gears. You can see the small gears clicking back off the bigger space between the first set of gears. Both these gears are supposed to be new, why is the...

Re: What am I doing wrong?
You say on the down stroke. It could be that when it is on the upstroke the gears are tight against each other then when IT goes over the top with gear wear it catches up and makes the clanking noise. I have a walking beam pump jack that does that. I was noticing this. But didn’t know if it was nor...

What am I doing wrong?
This is the second Aermotor put together that has "gear mesh"? The main gears are perfectly lined up and there's new cut pinion gears. It just seems to really clack on the downstroke but I just don't understand it. Other windmills I see aren't making this kind of noise. Is it just because ...

Re: AirFlow
I’m going to be taking one of these down off its tower in a few weeks. Is it okay to lift on its “hoop” like an Aermotor or how does one lift the whole mill?
