Open gear.

What is the best grade babbit for windmill bearings?

+1 on the 5/4"X6" treated deck boards. And the edges are already rounded. Makes a neat platform.

I got the arms bored out and bushings pressed in this evening. See attachments.

Thanks guys. Spent the day with family and friends.

Windy, in my files, they are correct. Not sure why they turned 90 deg.

Not sure why my pis are 90 degrees off.

I know its been a while, but I have been busy with work. I was off today so I worked on the governor arms. They were wallowed out where the shaft goes through. They have a set screw that holds them on a piece of 3/4" square bar. So I cut a short piece of square bar and set them up back to back ...

This is very sad news. Our thoughts and prayers with his family.

Happy Birthday Jim. Hope you have a good one.
