Hopefully an easy one

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

Hopefully an easy one

Post by ksmokowski »

I was hoping for an aeromotor, but I don't thing its one of those. But what is it and how hard are parts to find...

It does have the mandatory bullet holes.

I was also thinking F/W, but not sure of the model.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.

Should be. Need to determine the size, most likely 8 ft. Dan B should be able to help. Do you have a way of getting it down?

The equipment you have access to, tower height, and safety are the main factors.
