Re: Pulling out fan and motor
I’d take the fan off as well as the wheel arms and vane. Then it is more doable to lift it up and out. It is still two handfuls, even for a WB; like Dan, Mike and WindyBob already said. If you can take the pump rod out, you’ll have to lift it less high.

Re: Surprise find at my great grandfather's old home in Texas
I’d agree, a Baker tower with Stover stub. Airflow is correct on the gearbox.

Re: Axtell Windmill Co. History
Kim, Welcome to the forum. Thank you for the history. Axtell Ever-Oiled windmills are fairly uncommon nowadays to see in my experience. As best I can determine based upon the serial #s and year of manufacturer stamps on the gearboxes, there were around 3,000 Ever-Oiled models produced during the 193...

Re: Need a Fairbanks Morse WG drain plug bolt
I bought two from HomeDepot for my Baker Monitor WC rebuilt. They are typically common, like Dan said.

Re: Degreaser
Thank you. I sort of feel like it had the equivalent of two 14oz grease cartridges worth of grease in it. Even the mast pipe had a good amount of grease in it. As greasy as it was, it cleaned up pretty well and was in pretty good shape. It is getting a new bronze front bushing. The bushing was worn,...

I used a little diesel and had a supply of Zep on hand. Plus it cost me a roll of paper towels, more so for my hand...
