Hi all,

New member here from North Dakota. Recently bought a Aermotor 702 that a farmer had taken down. I’ve rebuilt several old cars prior so I thought I should be able to rebuild this old windmill!! Ha, just trying to get up to speed on them. Like others, I’ve downloaded information off the net about them. I have a few other projects I need to finish before I can dig into this one, but I’m pretty excited!!

Thanks for including me in your group. I see there is a lot of knowledge and information here!

Cheers,
Mark

Not much to look at, but here she is loaded on the trailer heading home....

Looks pretty good. Nice sheet metal. The tower is not Aermotor it does have an Aermotor stub tower. Most tower/mill set-ups around this area are hybrids.

If you have any questions, just ask.

Hi Paul,
Yes, the wheel was laying face down.

ok might not be good cause hub fills up with water and cracks around oil scraper plug when freezes out.
