I haven't made up my mind to bring a trailer to the fair or not with stuff to sale. I'll let you know.

Mike from what I can tell your gear box looks complete. If not I might have a parts diagram for you to check. The wood bearings are easy to replace. Pretty sure they're maple !!

Dan , I bought the F&W thru an auction site , so did not really know what i was buying except it was cheap !
you can imagine my surprise when i went to pick it up and saw the wooden bearings !
There have been several discussions on how to build the wooden bearings , that part is covered .
I am in the process of dissembly starting with major components , tail assmbly , fan assembly , the "pull out " system is complete but ODD :?:
As Kenneth stated " it was an interesting project " & Michael did a beautiful resurection on his F & W .
