Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

My portable 6ft Aermoter started making a slight clunk so time to check things out and grease her up again. Strictly greased cause she's up and down a lot. Only problem I found was the one pitman was dry time to add zerks to them too. Shaft already has them.

That's a really neat setup, Dan.

Hey Dan,

What a great setup!! Can you video how it works setting up and lowering on the trailer??? Thanks

Jerry

Put the zerks in the pitmans no more taking them off to grease. Jerry when the maintenance is completed I will attempt to video it.

Video didn't work so a few pics of tilt system.

Dan , my only question is your choice of headlights on the IH tractor?
The pitcher pump is just right size for the demo setup, all a clever way to show how a windmill works

Along with the maintenance Aerial deserved a new painted wardrobe.!!

Looking Good!

Do you just take the vane and tailbone off for transport? Or how does the whole unit lay on the trailer going down the road?

Matthew i take the tailbone off and lay the mill wheel facing down. If you look at the second photo up from here you'll see a couple wooden blocks on the trailer that supports the tower and a rubber roller on the end of the trailer the face of the hub rests on so the wheel just touches the deck with equal pressure.
