Wanna be

Post by mtblah »

I tried to be like the "real" windmillers , so I got 2 at one time
an open gear Flint & Walling
A702
THANK YOU Michael for the photo instruction guide on your F & W .
2 photos of the sail clips , F & W vs Aermotor , almost exactly the same except for a small edge fold on the A702
Next step , unload into an area with no empty space ?

Looks like a Model 12 to me. I have restored one. My first restoration. It is a fun mill to restore.

Those two projects will keep you busy. They look nice.

The 702 pitman arm pour was fairly simple, but you have poured more Babbitt than I have.
