Saw this Baker Monitor for sale online with what looks like an Aermotor wheel. Curious how that would work out with the difference in wheel rotation direction.

It won't oil properly. The thrust on the bearings is now off the bearings for the most part. The pitman will try to shove the rocker arm up from off center.

At least the gears will wear on the better side now.

I guess there is “sort” of a plus side then for the purchaser. Thanks

It's probably better off chained to that pole.

I believe it's a Chinese model they called it the aermonitor
