No mike no bearing metal against metal

As Dan said metal on metal ... specifically cast on cast. Let me know what other pics that you need (or measurements). Mine is 98% finished and in my shop area ... another thing I did not get finished this year!

And you seem to be in a land with quite a few F&W's ... I would hold out and keep searching for an original Star 12 wheel.

I'll keep looking I do seem to find things when I'm focused. Here is that regulator I mentioned.

That is really cool mike you don't see to many of them

So on my second trip to go pick up the tower I found this piece. It has the same part numbers as all the regulator stuff "T" 95, 96, 97. I'm sure it's a part of the regulator. No clue where it goes or what it does. Any ideas? It does pay to do a thorough scouring of the site root through the grass a bit.

there's a pic of it mike under the regulator

Aha. So it does belong. And it is wired to the counterbalance thingy? What does it do?
