Eddie,

Since I am retired, most any time would be good for me. Just let me know when and where.

Hey Eddie,

I live in Georgetown and if you want I might be able to drive to your place and take a look if you want to sell.

Both are 702s; small one X-702 and was produced with a 6 ft wheel; the larger an A-702 was produced with an 8 ft wheel. Parts for both, especially the A-702 are readily available, either used or remanufactured.

Hey, Jims I have a model K that is suitable for restoration, it has 4 grease cups and two like you're looking for. Not sure I'm ready to part with it just now. Also, have a model E that is probably beyond restoration which has two grease plungers which I probably don't need. Haven't tried to remove ...

The buffer device on all size Aermotor windmills is to keep the tailbone from slamming into the back, left side of the gear case. The counter to this is the tailbone spring, so with both working together, they eliminate violent movements of the tailbone in very strong winds. And, of course, the whee...

First of all, the Aermotor X - 602 was manufactured with a 6 ft. wheel, so if you have an 8 ft wheel, it is likely for some other windmill, possibly an A-602. X means 6 ft., A means 8ft, B means 10 ft and so on in Aermotor windmills.

First of all, are you using a new oil collector? when installed with a new snout bearing, the oil collector has to be ground down at the outer end with a slightly rounded top so it will just clear the inside of the hub casting as the hub rotates. It may take several attempts of grinding and re-seati...
