Re: New Member

If you have a pair of Nikon Eagleview binocs, that works too. Just look on the red main frame above for the position of the part#. A02 is RA and A2 is 1903.

I hope you didn't get those Aermotor post mounts from him, those are the only ones I ever got.

Larry
Lots of good pics but not a definitive one. A RA will have these double nutted studs to hold the arms in and main frame will be marked A02. A 1903 won't have the studa and main frame will be A2. I thought I had 1903s here but couldn't find any. Maybe Georgetown Larry got them awhile back ...

Re: Air Electric

Dang, so much for improved eyesight after surgery. I see now that it is attached to a girt inside already when you took the pic.

Re: Where can I find an Iron Man windmill?

It is now close 5 years since Iron Man has had a website up. If the Chinese side was still operated, it would show up on Global Sources or alibaba but there are no listings. So if there is a site offering them for sale and taking money, you don’t want to do that.

Iron Man had known casting issues ...

Re: Water flowing from well with pitless adapter

There wasn’t any followup from when you sought some advice on this well about a year ago. Was there a Baker Monitor setup below the hand pump and on top of the pitless? Or was there a stuffing box with packing or an IBT on top of the pitless? Attached is what the Baker Monitor hand pump diverter ...
