WC 8 changes I didn't know?

Generally speaking, this area is for general discussion about windmills, in most cases.

Yes, it does have two tabs on the turntable top. I took a pic of the bushing between it and the gearbox bottom. It centers it and seems to provide the clearance it needs.

I'm sorry, I meant 2 single tabs, not the 2 that are the tailpin stops. And yes, the tower-top turntable heads have a pair of tabs on the under side of the head, to fit over one or the other of the single tabs on the upper race. They did away with the tailpin tabs, I have never seen those on a race before now. I forgot to look at the parts list for the upper race. I thought they were 204 or 204 1/2 numbered. I will go to the library and look.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

It's actually WC 5A. I have several at the shop I will look at closer one day. Very interesting.
