Re: Pulling the fan from motor
OKay, just remember these things can kill. I read of a guy one time where he fell off, and wound up with a fence post through him.

Re: Pulling the fan from motor
Guessing around 75 pounds. Don't know Canadian measurements. But it's bulky, difficult to handle. I would not do it without another helping.

Re: Pulling the fan from motor
On Monitor Hambone, or WB mills, the wheel is a 4 section wheel, for a 6.5 foot mill. 4 bolts on the front of the hub, 4 bolts on the rear of the hub.

Had a scar running down from above my eye, to about halfway down my che...

Re: Pulling out fan and motor
I have a neighbor who took up 6 ft Aermotors on his shoulder when he was young. Then built the wheel and put the tail on. That I can imagine.

Re: Pulling out fan and motor
You cannot lift the mill, fan, and tail out of the tower by hand. Well, unless you have very close hereditary connection to either Samson, or Arnold.
