  • The mill was never oiled and wore out the large gears and arms, luckily the pot and hub were fine!

    We have a lot of aermotor windmills here in NW Missouri. I love the oil Ring inside the gear box . Windmills are beautiful!

      They sure are! Always refreshing to know they're still so abundant!

    Looks great!
    Would love to see how to remove the main shaft and hub.

      I hopefully should have a complete overhaul video up before too long!

    Hello, i will be taking down an Aeromotor windmill in a few weeks. For taking the head off there is no pump attached. Only thing a guy has to do is take the cap off, and unscrew the nut, and hook up the crane? Are all Aeromotor windmills the same in taking apart. Any info is appreciated. Thank you

      Hello! Yep, as long as there is no swivel rod attached to the motor, you should only have to take the mass nut out and pull it off. As far as I know, all Aermotor windmills should be the same when taking them apart!

      @@yourlocalwellman Thank you. If I'm needing parts once I take it apart. Do you have any suggestions on to purchase from?

      Well, that would depend on where you are based out of, I don't know a whole lot about parts on the sales part of things outside of nebraska!

    Hey man. I had my cylinder replaced down hole (180feet of pipe) on my windmill powered water well on my property and still no water pumping out. Haven’t heard back from the guy that replaced. Wondered if you might have an idea. Thanks!

      Well, my best bet with a new cylinder, especially that deep, would be that they didn't get the check seated quite all the way down, or the leathers haven't spread on the new plunger, I'd first try and pick up on it if you can and drop it on the bottom a time or two and then yank up on it fast to try and spread those leathers!

      Ok so just so we are on the same page. I would have to unhook the sucker rod from windmill and then hook up to the piping and drop it down a few times and yank it back up?

    • @yourlocalwellman
      @yourlocalwellman  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Yep, so make sure everything is disconnected from the windmill, and then let it drop onto bottom a couple of times to try and get the check seated down, then yank up as fast as you can to try and spread the leathers on the sides of the cylinder, might be tough to do by hand 180ft down depending if the leathers have already spread or not!

      Of course! Let me know if that doesn't do it!
