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.

Hey Kevin was hoping to hear back from you i was a little concerned about the bullet holes in the hood. Tailvane and sails are one thing but the hood could mean trouble. Been there Done that. Anyway I hope you make out.

When I lower a standing tower after I have connected come alonges on the uphill side and town hill side. I cut the two legs under the uphill side and then cut the side of the angle iron on the down hill side and let the remaining angle iron act as a hinge. Then start pulling it over on the down hill side as I let out cable on the up hill side. It will at a point start going down by it's own weight. Then it's just let it slowly lay over.

I agree. Also, looks like the hub may have one ear broken off. I have rebuilt model 24' s and 37's. They are very similar inside the gearbox. There are a few tricks to disassemble one. If you rebuild it, I can explain a few things. Let us know.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I didn't realize you all were so active. I ended up not purchasing it as they wanted $1000, which seems more than it's worth. I have an Aeromotor 8 footer than I am already working on and I was mostly after a better tower.
