Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Hey all, Thought I would keep updating my find's. I will be honest just over a month ago I had no idea what I was buying here but it turned out well. I got a bunch of random parts and pieces and some blades wrapped in paper, Wincharger gearboxes etc. I was told this unit had NOS blades and after ...

The one with the complicated looking hub in #3 behind the streamliner is a Dempster #14

Hey All, Recently moved from Ontario to Saskatchewan. Have not been active with wind stuff in a while but her now😃 Wanted to share a couple find’s. I found some water pumpers too but I do not collect those and use them to fund my wind electric hobby. Found a 12V Wincharger Streamliner. Missing parts ...

I think it’s a great idea. I could list you as a supplier on Wincharger.com. Covering every Wincharger model would be a daunting task since they made over 100 different models, around 20 of those being 6V machines. I’d start with the early models, 36-39 which were Delco Remy.

Josh.I don't know if you aware or not. I was surfing the internet several years ago and ran across a web site of a company making wind charger blades. As I remember he had a VERY large collection of original NOS blades for patterns and a machine he could put them in and it would copy them exactly ...

I have a beatty wind mill. I am located in Parkhill Ontario which is very near Grand Bend and London. I need some help in getting this running properly with proper spring and brake attacments. Is there anyone in this area who can perform this type of work? J. Cuming cumingje4@gmail,com Hoping some ...

Hey all! Coming from the water pumping side of things and chargers are new to me. Anyways i got a 12V heavy duty Wincharger from a friend. It had been used by his neighbour for only about 3 months back in the day and he only anchored it to the tin on his roof, low and behold you guessed it! Yes it ...

Those "902's" are the new Ball Bearing models American West is marketing. Clever concept with the removable assembly to service them but I'm not fully sold on the sealed roller bearings personally. Time will tell how they hold up.. Todd, i am the same with the design. If the sealed bearings are ...
