Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Windy , It's you & I and a few others remaining , many forum folks are on the way to the Trade Fair in Minn for Thursday , Fri & Sat .

Oh that's right. Would be great if someone updates us from time to time.

I did chase the threads and sent you a pm for that number.

me? I don't see a pm.

I am painting the gear box and about ready to go back together. Like Mike said I know 98% but the last 2% make a difference. My question is anything I need to do when placing the pins back in the small gears to ensure that they do not move?

My experience is they go back in pretty tight. Also the large gears pretty much keep them from coming out.

apply plenty of assmbly lube on every thing that rotates .

I’d dry fit everything, excluding the pinion pins, to make sure IF you need a spacer washer(s) between the snoot end and the hub, to where the oil collector lines up with the hub access plug. My 602 rebuild experience is limited, but I’ve heard of guys marring the pins a little with either a slight twist of pins in a vise or a couple of taps along the pin with a center punch before tapping in the pin.

Thanks everyone, Always good advice on this site. Yes I bought Lubriplate 105.

I have been making some progress. I put three washer on the hub shaft and everything seemed to align well.
